While I don't doubt some Nazi groups were started by jews, and for that purpose of making Nazis look bad, but to then claim all groups of hard right people are created, infiltrated, and/or controlled is pure malevolent manipulation, just another method of control, to keep people atomized and weak, so we don't group up and fight back, to make you think you can't trust anyone.
The counterpoint, by those that may try to disagree, will probably be "I never claimed all groups were...", and yet whenever any group protests, or does anything to dissent to our situation outside the bounds of our carefully curated prison, they're automatically called feds, and they "glow". Y'all may not claim "all groups", but you sure as hell use stuff like this to paint everyone in those colors, trying to paint the false picture that everyone further right than the false choice right wing are all feds, and attack any group that strays too far into "I may have to get off the couch to fix something" territory.
Most people have adequate methods of discernment to sense when a demonstration appears grassroots and organic, and when a demonstration is a staged event for the purpose of getting scandalous photos and stirring controversy.
I had a condo on the Portland waterfront, where the Proud Boys staged a demonstration and walk across the Hawthorne Bridge before the pandemic. I compared that protest to the recent bizarre media stunt in Nashville where “Nazis” with a new made-up group called the Blood Tribe walked around brandishing swastika flags.
The two demonstrations were markedly different. To compare:
The Proud Boys demonstration sent out invitations and announcements about their planned march. The Blood Tribe showed up out of nowhere, with no hint of their actions on any social media or online forum.
Demonstrators in the Proud Boys march provided their own transportation to thr demonstration. The fake Blood Tribe PR stunt got ready at another place and all showed up in a rental U-Haul. They had a uniform and high-contrast swastika flags given to them by central casting.
The Proud Boys showed their faces. Westboro Baptist demonstrators also are fine showing their faces. These Blood Tribe glowies hid their faces? Why? When you feel that strongly about a radicalized ideal, typically you're PROUD of the radicalized ideal.
If actual Americans felt affinity for racist ans supremacist ideals espoused by the Third Reich, they would approach their methods of forming their organizational identity, articulating themselves, and gaining publicity in ways totally different than what we have seen from Patriot Front or Blood Tribe.
These demonstrations you defend as real, are as manufactured as that Kendall Jenner protest-themed Pepsi commercials from 2020: https://youtu.be/VogNNsQ3Gmw?si=FNNclrY8WL6mIQgf
