Why yes PolPotEnjoyer please go get us a printing press, CheGuevaraLover your uncle died and left you his 2000 acre compound why yes we generously accept, the weird Jimmy Dore fan holding a gun talking about killing Reagan, how about we just put you to work in the vegetable patch. It might be a Faustian bargain but we could get a cool ten years of feds financing our lifestyles before they go Jonestown on us. Lets commit to a revolutionary non revolutionary leftist org where we do nothing and the infiltrators do the actual hard work of setting up the organization.
We need a rule that if you make a good post in bad posting, it automatically gets moved to chapotraphouse and you get banned from badposting for a week. Let everyone see your shame and your glory.
I mean, uh, GOOD post
My headcanon is when the feds join the weekly reading groups, they become radicalized on their own
Well, I knew the feds had been opening my mail for at least 20 years reading all my personal, radical mail, and it never bothered me because I figured them birds had to learn that stuff somewhere and it might as well be from my mail! But then it occurred to me in my predicament, having the FBI open your mail might come in handy. I sent Sheila, my partner, a letter through the United States mail, I said in it, "For God's sake, don't plow up the back yard - that's where the guns are buried!" National Guard rolled up and dug up the whole back yard just in time for me to come back and plant the damn thing!
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I had this guy walking around passing out leaflets for the fair play for Cuba committee but then it didn't really work out
letting in feds just because they're the only ones organised and well off enough to pay dues consistently
This is bad posting because it way overstates the resources required to sway people. What they usually offer
- buy rounds of drinks for everyone, maybe a bit of coke now and again
- access the a vehicle
And in cases where the goal is entrapment leading to prosecution, not merely espionage:
- compliments about how radical you are why don't you go even further by the way I know how to build a bomb and I can totally get the supplies
Anyway the strategy can work short term but these people can always leverage their association with legit leftists to move on to a less savy group once they become aware they are discovered or just that they aren't getting anywhere.
I know how to build a bomb and I can totally get the supplies
My stupid ass not getting the hint "wow sounds like you don't need me"
have to admit I've never totally understood that aspect of the plot but it seems to work now and again. I think they have to do a bunch of emotional manipulation.
brings to mind this episode of this american life which I haven't listened to in a very long time but stuck with me. it stars brandon darby who was involved with Common Ground mutual aid org in New Orleans post Katrina, but then got go recruited (volunteered morelike) by the feds to do entrapment basically like I described on some kids. purportedly due to annoyance at vegans. I don't remember how detailed the show is about this because I also learned about it from elsewhere but having it presented from a person in that position is unusual. braggadocios. it's wrapped in the kind of lib "neutrality" (fed apologist) like you'd expect.
All the most nefarious communist plans are formed at your local food bank but you're gonna have to put in a few months before they trust you and open up.
Welcome to the first meeting of our new org: Communist Adventurism Collective Action (CACA)
We have big plans to do serious things to bring about revolution in our time, but first we need everyone that has money connections to deposit into our dropbox now. We are also seeking to procure illegal weapons, a large tract of rural land and military tactics training resources. If anyone has capabilities like this, your donations will bring on the adventures sooner than you think! [wink]
This might make a pretty good sitcom screenplay. It's like a romcom but the relationship in felony entrapment. Will They? Won't They? Can the feds win over the dirtbags and get them to commit to doing adventurism? Will the feds get trapped in a reverse-honeypot?
