Comment on Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars?
oo1@lemmings.world 5 days agoThere’s a fair history of security services acting as agents provocateur infiltrating socialist and trade union movements to split them apart get evidence or ‘intel’ to imprison leaders. Certainly in the UK that was a part of their union busting tactics. So it is something to be aware of.
I’m not sure that is what is happening on here though. I’m also not sure if that’s what OP was referring to.

It’s the exact thing I meant and didn’t realise I had to be explicit as I thought this would be common knowledge amongst these self-proclaimed worldly people. It happens with any extremist group, terrorist cells or potential threats to the government and where better to obtain such information than online? It’s naive to think world’s governments don’t also have a lemmy presence.

Yes I think i tended towards the latter view because I just don’t see much real world action or organising going on here.
But some of the stuff posted does seem a bit sus - it’s almost a caricature. Even quite radical people usually have some ability to reason or engage in moderate discussion.
I guess it doesn’t cost law enforcement much to keep an eye on this, and I’m sure lots of the terms used will flag in their webcrawlers and such.
A few spooks and a few bots can probably do quite a lot across a lot of different social media so really not hard for them to have some presence here for minimal effort.
