Imagine you watch the destruction of all your nation’s values. You then hear about a local group that wants to protest this deterioration. You then risk your physical, economical and social life to join this group and take a stand against the tyrannical forces attacking you. After putting yourself in such jeopardy you go online to see the results…
And the conclusion is that a bunch of terminally online figures call you a federal agent (fed). People who claim to have similar beliefs try to find your identity to vaporize your life. The so – called supporters of free speech demand that the government arrest and imprison you. You’ve only protested and haven’t committed a crime, yet the entire online community preaches your ruination.
Nearly every nationalist group is accused of working for the government and has other political dissidents attempting to destroy their lives. The right wing is so useless that they just sit online all day either complaining about sleepy Joe or saying the n word. So they struggle to believe that anyone that isn’t a federal agent would do political action in the physical world. It is a perpetual cycle of failure because nationalists continually eat their own for more online attention.
It narrows the field so much that the only protests or politics that can be approved are directly authorized by the failing major parties i.e. the actual federal government. This ensures that there won’t be any real change in the right wing platform. These same online figures that complain about the failures of the mainstream parties simultaneously attack every growing movement with the label of fed.
Now it has been confirmed that some of these agitators are federal agents and I’ve written in the past about the government encouraging extremism for their own benefit (read it here). I’ve even had an experience myself where I was participating in a protest, when an overly welcoming figure began discussing violence against the state. The answer to this is to simply reject and even ridicule the idea. Avoid this person as both unserious and dangerous. Consider the leadership or group is advocating this; then it’s time to flee completely.
There has been many innocent people caught in the crossfire of fed accusations, really everyone relevant has been accused of this. The government wins when they infiltrate nationalist groups and get them to appear as extremists. However, they also win when everyone is so fearful of real life action because they don’t want to be associated with federal agents.
The first answer to beat this is to work and infiltrate groups that already have an established and trusted platform. The second answer to beat this is to build a community external to the political world: meaning friends, family, church and community groups. My gang will ride or die for each other, for friendship instead of some abstract political ideal. And that is really what a nation is – it’s a people unified by a history and future. There is some irony in all this as well: because calling for the government to censor and arrest people you suspect as feds, is literally snitching for the feds.
