ppl really need to cut out the fedjacketing/copjacketing shit. even if its in good faith all youre doing is sewing distrust instead of actually challenging the harmful behavior that you're fedjacketing someone for.
yes fed infiltration is a real concern and im not denying that -- thats why we need to built relationships and communities that can withstand it. you dont have to be a fed or a cop to perpetrate harmful behavior and rhetortic. you can and should call out/in harmful behavior without insinuating someones a cop/fed. its how we help one another grow and if done right, can help generate more trust (rather than distrust) in each other because we're taking time to see one another as people. and people, even rad folks (even you and me), have the capacity for harming each other and its more harmful to pretend like were not. white supremacy, patriarchy, etc can operate in anyone. instead of ignoring that reality and calling everyone who says/does something fucked up a fed, lets take a closer look at how systems of oppression can be perpetrated by anyone, even those who dedicate ourselves to resisting oppressive systems.
like state repression is already intense as it is, our power lies in trusting and caring for another so we can take risks together -- thats something the state will never have so lets not let them take it away from us. the state loves when we dont trust each other. part of building community that can withstand state repression is combatting the systems of oppression that the state operates on (white supremacy, patriarchy, etc) not only in the world but in ourselves and each other. if we want a world where we dont have to rely on the state and other oppressive institutions to survive, we can make it happen now -- but we have to trust each other.
