Well, let’s take the least controversial example from the comic: people “fighting against” destruction of the environment who are in fact fighting for it. Anti-littering, carbon footprint, personal responsibility focused environmentalism is known to have origins in corporate propaganda campaigns to draw focus away from their own role in the problem.
My objection to the message of the comic is, sometimes “what if these people portraying themselves as fighting against X are really supporters of X” is the truth and what needs to be said, rather than just someone being a contrarian smartass. Always ignoring and silencing this sort of sentiment without considering it makes you more vulnerable to manipulation.
So these would be a false flag in which direction?
