...as it's never been investigated by either the media or government. Frankly, it would be impossible to investigate today, given 1) the Biden admin's control of the DOJ, 2) the need for the FBI itself to be part of any such investigation, which is absurd on its face and 3) the media being hopefully broken by Trump and totally vested in its Fake News 1/6-was-worse-than-Pearl Harbor narrative.

Regardless, the word "instigate" has different connotations, so I'll reframe. If your question is whether I think the FBI is solely, or even largely, responsible for 1/6, then my answer is no.

There was real and reprehensible violence engaged in that day by a very small percentage of protest participants, some of whom went to the Capitol with bad intentions, in my opinion. I find this violence not only disgusting, but, on a personal basis, detrimental to my "cause", so to speak. The folks who engaged in violence that day should be punished.

There were also some fairly obvious signs of a false-flag operation on 1/6, and, without question, the post-1/6 narrative and political/legal response has been grossly blown out of all proportion for propaganda and partisan purposes, which I find disgusting, as well.

So, all in all, an American shitshow, the full details of which we'll almost certainly never know.
