    I think these idiots are cops pretending to be ‘antifa’, to try and rile up folk into storming police stations.

    Either that or kids.

      I think it is a combination of bootlickers and a few cops. I don’t think it is to goad anyone into doing anything. They don’t want people to actually attack them. I think they are trying to get people to say certain things that would be criminal so they can arrest them before they attack.

      So be careful with your words. Instead of saying “I am going to kill the baton rouge police chief,” say “I am going to effect change” or something along those lines.

      At the same time watch for those that are trying to goad you into typing something they can take action on.

      The hosts of fediverse instances DO NOT have the resources to fight government subpoenas over what you say.

        The concern trolls are probably just spooks paid to forum slide. They did a hell of a job – nobody ever got a chance to seriously talk about the notion; we all spent the entire time arguing with them instead of focusing on what matters, myself included.

        The government’s real power here though is in the fear – everyone’s afraid to openly talk about such things because they fear they’re being spied on by NSA spooks or the FBI or whatever. And most importantly, it’s become taboo and socially unacceptable to talk about revolution, and that’s the way the government set it up through decades of propaganda and how it intends to keep things, down to the very last innocent life. When everyone feels comfortable openly talking about revolution, there’ll be no need for anybody to be afraid anymore, and that’s what the system truly fears. Then it’ll be impossible to arrest people for fomenting such talk since they literally can’t actually arrest everybody.

        That, clearly, is the most important thing that needs to happen. Once the wall of fear comes down, so does their shitty house of cards they’ve been using to control everybody. The concern trolls are here to keep it up, hence the forum sliding.

          I write that not for you but for other people to protect themselves from people like you.
