the reason feds incite petty crime, like the anarchists cookbook is as follows 1. it makes the people who hate elites self identify so they can actually be found. as opposed to acts of terror which are hard to investigate and waste all the feds resources. uncle ted did very little damage but wasted an extraordinary amount of their resources. 2. they can just arrest you, it's actionable.  whereas it's harder for them to justify arresting political activists, they can't really do anything about cultural bolsheviks, boycotts and such, workers strikes, protests. a large number of people can just break into the capitol building, because the authorities intelligence on protest organisers was not actionable.  so they tell you to commit petty crime so they can find and arrest you immediately. and while the crime is petty, they know you're a terrorist and you'll be treated as such. the crime is just their public justification for kidnapping you.  so this is a fed thread
