How do authcoms, you know, the weird USSR fetishists, uncritically do so much counter-insurgency work for the modern United States? How did we get here?
@hazelnot turning protestors into the police in a "peace police" role, mostly.
@thufie huh
@hazelnot it is a thing here where police collaborators who make themselves believe they are working for the cause of the protest backstab more radical elements in the crowd they personally dislike. Turn them into the cops for being too extreme, or subversive to their vision.
@thufie huh, what do you mean precisely?
