> [@DesertDog](#): > > TBF that’s probably where Master Crumbley got it from. That’s certainly not impossible, but it’s really not an easy line of dialogue to encounter in the game - it pops up once, in a DLC, only if you pick a certain way to resolve the DLC main quest, and even then only if you have one particular companion out of 17 possible companions in a game where (without mods) you can only have one companion at a time. Granted, it’s a fairly popular companion (Nick Valentine), but in the 223 hours Steam says I’ve put into F4 I’ve never encountered the line and wouldn’t even have known it was in the game because I’ve never finished that one quest in that one way with that one companion. It just reeks of yet another attempt to blame video games for mass shootings like sensationalists and moral crusaders have been trying to do for 20+ years now. ---

There is a particular irony to that claim, as “antifa” itself is essentially a non-existent false flag boogeyman group cooked up by the RWers to induce anxiety. To accuse a false-flag entity of mounting a false-flag operation puts the entire universe at risk of folding up and collapsing into the vortdox. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Dinesh D’Souza claims it was a false flag because they were wearing masks so they couldn’t be identified. That’s also sort of an admission that they were troublemakers, if D’Souza thinks it’s important to blame it on “the others”. In fact, from what I read of the event, it actually was mostly well organized and orderly, except for one altercation that happened. ---
