Blaming the boogy man of White Nationalists, Russia, or outside outside agitators is a way to shift blame by politicians and an easy scapegoat. Amusingly the governor of Minnesota, and a big city MN mayor blamed vandalism & lootingrioters as being the work of people who were all from out of state, thereby parroting Trump's same line (or he theirs).

They (not Trump of course) had to walk it back when it turned out not to be true.

Is there some outside groups posing as others, possibly, but to blame a majority of problems on them is just BS.

Would you also say that rioters can be blamed for some of the damage, or only politicians? I'm pretty sure I've seen videos of people looting stores and beating up others.

I hated that tactic in my own country, where some of my fellow rioters last year blamed covert police agents for the damage and provoking violence, and I hope you hate that tactic from your own side as well.

By calling it a tactic, you make it sound like it's a lie. But these things are in fact happening. There certainly is a lot of noise - false positives, false negatives - but false flagging is occurring.
