You're welcome to disregard everything I say, but please listen to season one of the podcast Alphabet Boys. It walks through, step-by-step, how a tough-talking conman named Micky Windecker collapsed the Denver antifacist scene in 2020 by taking cash from the FBI to try to talk protesters into doing or saying incriminating things and then getting them arrested. If you think you're too smart to fall for it, that might be a sign you're not.

You're not understanding what I'm saying. Everyone here already knows shit like that happens -- I saw it myself with my own two eyes -- I am telling you that because of that, everyone who flies that flag therefore implicitly knows not to fall for such tricks, ergo it's a baseless accusation you are dredging up to make OP and everyone who approves of OP look bad.

And we're not falling for it

I really hope you're right, dude. If this is how defensive you get when someone offers you advice to keep you safe, I doubt you are. But I hope I'm wrong.
