False Flag

A False Flag is when someone calls attention to a "Red Flag" in an effort to manipulate opinions at to what is right and wrong. The false (red) flag is used when people are already biased to a similar opinion as the one presenting the information, or the misinformation is used to try to manipulate people into being newly biased.

A false flag is a tool often used when politicising a topic. It often makes situations more difficult instead of making situations easy because its harder to know what to believe.

Confederate flag

A Confederate Flag doesn't make some kid want to start a race war, it's just a piece of cloth. Lots of people that don't try to start a race war have one in their yard, so it can't be the flag that makes somebody like that.
