I'd like to think I'm not a complete moron here(hopefully), and realize 'I saw it on social media' is a rather poor source.
I'm referring to ones with real news articles and real videos. The only reason I mentioned it is because news sites rarely even report such info, and definitely don't show the videos.
I'm not much for conspiracies, so my initial question was genuine. Are most or all of these people mentally ill and trying to scapegoat their enemy before offing themselves? It feels weird that it happens enough I was able to reference 4 other recent cases with 15 minutes of effort.
I can't speak to individual cases, it's usually impossible to determine from a news article. But realistically speaking, how many actual proven targeted assassinations of a white collar nature (ie whistleblowers) have happened in the US in the last 50 years? I think the answer is 0. The number of people who have antagonized big businesses or government and then died is pretty high, but also, everyone dies. Accusations of assassination are, in and of themselves, frequent weapons of dissenters. You can look at the cases of Vince Foster and Seth Rich as people whose deaths were deliberately exploited for political conspiracy mongering.
