Over on r/conspiracy, there were a bunch of posts on this "incident". The OPs may or may not have been shills, but they all had hundreds of upvotes for "getting in the Man's face". There were zero posts that I saw calling out Rebel News as Zionist or the video as staged.

I had pretty much forgotten about Rebel News and their history, but when I watched the video it took only a few seconds to peg it as phony. This comment is to highlight the much larger problem: virtually no one, not even "conspiracy theorists", are critically examining what they see.

I say that's the bigger problem because, in this and many other instances, people are acting and reacting to a fake reality. TPTB lose much of that power when people simply see things for what they are. It's not that hard to do and begins with people understanding that they can be fooled. Few of us care to admit that into our worldview.
