    A french (?) attempt to infiltrate a leftist org once hit the wall because the cops couldn't keep up with all the theory and jargon leftists used

    On the other side there was a story about Portland or Seattle where the cops were monitoring a lot of leftist but the data was worthless because most of it dealt with twitter beefs everybody had

      This won't work in America. Maoist orgs here used to test on theory and still got heavily infiltrated by cops even kn leadership. The FBI agents get paid to read theory and take classes and shit, so their are probably going to know more than the average member honestly. The most knowledgeable guy in my old org turned out to be a cop :pig:

        I kinda wonder how does it happen that you develop this deep knowledge of theory, and these relationship with people and not get radicalised, even if youre a cop ...

          I've read stories in the news of undercovers marrying and having children with other members of their org WITHOUT telling them they are an undercover cop. So I assume they are just heartless bastards

          It's quite simple. If you operate in a shitty oppressive system, but you benefit more from continuing it than from helping dismantle it, you continue.

          It's really hard to do the right then when you are more comfortable doing the wrong thing.
