As a strategy, state actors often create misdirection to discredit people who question their ops and false flag operations and maintain plausible deniability.

I mean if someone gets banned as a wrecker and they weren't actually trying to be one, they can just make a new account and be less terrible. If they're capable of doing so.
There was this beautiful moment where FBI agents complained that it was hard to infiltrate anarchist groups because they couldn't bribe anyone and had to read theory. I think it's that latter part that makes coming back near-impossible for actual wreckers. If it's just someone with one bad opinion they can correct that, but even if someone hasn't actually read theory there's a bar for having that worldview. Then within that bar there's an overton window of what a revolutionary socialist would say and what a LARPer would say and it's ontologically clouded by their actual worldview. There have been somewhat successful splits like we had over veganism, but I don't think we would ever have the problems that a community like /r/antiwork has the same way /r/chapotraphouse didn't. Our whole subculture is bullying bullies and bullshitters.
Got a link for those FBI complainers? I wish to see

Be sure to show this to an ML next time one of them says anarchists are easily manipulated by feds.
