there’s also some behavioral tells. the best one: cops don’t know theory. the better ones can memorize some stuff, but they can’t extrapolate. there’s more, but think along those lines.
Yeah at the end of the day if you’re going to do things you don’t want a cop to see you need to compartmentalize information. Move from who needs not to know, and to who absolutely needs to know what exactly.
you have an idea of that, right? you can extrapolate that, right? there are things that naturally follow from the obvious thoughts you have. you can follow those. they will have a lot more trouble doing so.
Yeah its half a joke, but seriously, if you’ve been leftist long enough you know the fights we have over taxes. The argument as a shibboleth isn’t a perfect tool, it can fail and it can make everyone hate each other, but cops are unlikely to be prepared for it
oh, see, im a post(ing)-posadist, and you’re just wrong. the revolution will only happen when our radio shell reaches alien civilizations and so thoroughly disturbs their linguists that they send help and make a classless stateless society for us.
Our radio shell will never reach alien civilizations because of the very low power and the inverse square law. The signals will be weaker than the CMB before they get any real distance.
no, no, I’m a post-posadist. we don’t believe nuclear annihilation would be disturbing enough to a hypothetical observer. they need to see a youtube comments section.
Reminds me of the big fun fair last year. There have been some incidents in the last years where idiots (either islamic terrorists of white people with mental issues, your choice) have driven cars into groups of people, so there was a rather immense police presence on that fair. As they had promised on the radio they had both uniformed and civilian officers patrolling. I have no idea why they bother with civilian clothes, as the groups of non-uniformed policemen really stuck out like sore thumbs in the flow of happy, carelessly celebrating people. They could have worn helmets with flashing lights and not be any more noticable.
I’m not taking about America. I live in a country where I don’t have to decide what is worse - the cops or the terrorists. Seeing uniformed policemen patrolling the fair had been a very calming effect, actually. It was just funny how easy it was to spot the non-uniformed ones.
cops are definitionally terrorists. they’re literally there to intimidate, to use terror, to enforce a political agenda. it’s kind of their whole thing.
also, terrorists are straight cis white dudes. pretty much always. you just hear way more all the times any one of those categories is off by one. like, I love how you said “islamic terrorists” like those are purely idealistic, but “straight white cis men with mental issues” as if they have a fucking excuse, and the things they believe aren’t culpable. that did sound pretty american.
so they don’t do so much rape with their muder? only rape and murder the right people? american police are orders of magnitude worse, but what you’ve got is still not good.
I didn’t even know what that person was talking about until you said that. Seems like a pretty elitist “tell.” I don’t really know any theory beyond that I don’t like billionaires or fascists. I would hope we would be welcoming people like myself at protests instead of trying to call us out as undercover pigs.
not everybody has necessarily read lots, but you pick some up just kind of around if you hang out around lefties. we can be pretty obnoxious like that. it’s not all explicit; there’s other ways to ask the question.
but you get ideas about how society operates, or should operate, or could operate. if you’re really out feeding unhoused people or finding the gaps in systems to exploit or finding the gaps in systems to try and fill them in and hold them together to buy five more seconds til collapse. you kind of can’t not. even if your ideas aren’t very sophisticated or somebody else already articulated it better.
and you can absolutely extrapolate from that. or a what-if.
there’s also some behavioral tells. the best one: cops don’t know theory. the better ones can memorize some stuff, but they can’t extrapolate. there’s more, but think along those lines.
Something my friend told me is that there are 3 easy tells of an undercover cop:
If someone matches all 3 descriptors, it is likely they’re a cop
On the other hand, if it’s someone alone and dressed very averagely but not buff, then that’s just me.
I have been accused of being a cop at rallys because I’m a loner with K-Mart dress sense and no Rizz.
Sorry you had to find out this way, that you’re a cop.

Its just taken me a long time to come to terms with it, and even longer to find a safe space to ‘come out’ as a jackbooted rat bastard
well, I still think you should be hanged you rat bastard piece of shit, but im really glad you had the courage to come out. <3
you won’t catch every one using easy tells like this. they’re just good heuristics.
Yeah at the end of the day if you’re going to do things you don’t want a cop to see you need to compartmentalize information. Move from who needs not to know, and to who absolutely needs to know what exactly.

Bro I’m not there to question my life choices and the ideal world I’m there to wreak destruction on my opressors
and who are those?
you have an idea of that, right? you can extrapolate that, right? there are things that naturally follow from the obvious thoughts you have. you can follow those. they will have a lot more trouble doing so.
Ask them what their political ideology is on a deeper level than communist or anarchist. And then ask them to describe it.
not useless.

“ANCAP ANCAP!? NAP NAP NAP!!! THEN WHO WOULD BUILD THE ROADS?”
Did I do it right?
Absolutely officer, you did swimmingly.
Hey - first off, how fucking dare you
Secondly - >implying cops wouldn’t know what the NAP is even just to mock it
Oh cops absolutely know about it. Their “anarchist” buddies talk about it. It’s just that ancaps aren’t anarchists
we don’t have fights over the concept of taxes; you’re just wrong and it’s okay for you to be wrong as long as you do it my way.
Georgism

only posting can bring the revolution, comrade.

you’re just a hater, can’t handle communism like an adult. maybe you should shut up and post harder if you want a better world.
Wow way to go for the nuclear option

there are islamic terrorists in the americas? I call bullshit. terrorists are straight white cis men.

Not everywhere is America. In civilized countries, people have civilized police.
so they don’t do so much rape with their muder? only rape and murder the right people? american police are orders of magnitude worse, but what you’ve got is still not good.
WTF are you hallucinating about?
Terrorists are not limited to straight white dudes, not Europe they arent.
Of the last 10 attacks in Germany, 7 were islamist, 2 were right wing and one is inconclusive.
American defaultism at its best.
I said ‘the americas’! that’s canada to chile!
Huh. Guess i was wrong.
To be honest very few people know theory. Like, you can be anti-fascist but you don’t need to have actually read Das Kapital or anything to be that.
I didn’t even know what that person was talking about until you said that. Seems like a pretty elitist “tell.” I don’t really know any theory beyond that I don’t like billionaires or fascists.
