I'm just inquiring as to how 'feds' are caught. The mistakes they make that get them caught.
Also, i enjoy scrolling hexbear in my free time. And i've read Capital volumes 1 through 4 and the communist party manifesto, so don't worry, i ain't no fed gang.
Beans amirite 🤣🫘
2 things to add
Feds can, like union organisers, work in teams. They'll have the fed who behaves like you've described - Trying to break things up and radicalise people - and there'll be another one who is the one who spots prime targets for the first one.
This is more of a mentality thing, it's more to beware of yourself and to be able to be critical of others. If someone is so shitty they might as well be a fed, then there is no difference between them and a fed, which means they are functionally one. Not all feds are actual feds. If a person exhibits the behaviour described above, then they are a fed even if they aren't employed by anyone to do it. Doing the work of feds, makes you a fed, wether or not you realise it.
Very valuable contributions.
One thing that your comment reminds me of is this question - what's the difference between a wrecker and someone who is messy? The only difference is intention. And what use are intentions to we who are materialists anyway? A wrecker is as a wrecker does,
Just a word of caution. It's also poor form to just go accusing people of being a fed or a wrecker without solid evidence because that can cause a lot of damage too. If you have suspicions, observe and be patient. Keep track. Keep a journal if you need to. You have been wrong before and you will be wrong again, so don't go cashing in all your credibility on an overblown hunch and don't go causing unnecessary disruption in an org just because you started seeing things that weren't really there.
Raise your concerns with a trusted member of leadership. Make sure that you make a time to talk privately. Give them clear, concise feedback and observations from what you have seen or heard and not from how you have interpreted things. The unfortunate reality is that if you get rid of one infiltrator/infiltrator ring then they'll probably send the next one in soon after, especially if we're talking feds and an org that has attracted their attention. Sometimes it's better to see where the knife will come from than it is to allow yourself to be stabbed in the back. Don't gossip. Don't spread rumours. Trust in your org's leadership and if you have serious concerns about them failing to act appropriately, raise these concerns directly with your leadership. They may have something in the works. Don't go fucking up their long-term strategy all because you decided to play detective one day and you wanted to blow the lid off the whole thing.
Definitely! The second point is a balancing act between paranoia and rational detachment.
I just think it's important to keep in mind about ones' own behaviour, and to keep in mind if you start to feel bad about kicking someone to the curb due to their behaviour being suspect.
