      Maybe but I think the entire thing was feds from the start. Their op was originally anti-cult and anti-scientology then after that it just became muddied shit, nato left anti-establishmentism but actually reinforcing the status quo. Their accounts primary activities have always aligned exactly with what the fbi is worried about at any given time, the primary thing they post about is either american nazis, ukraine or taiwan.

      It was their first foray into online digital crowd manipulation and the whole thing evolved into the OSINT community as their primary interest afterwards. These days the “anon” stuff is just kept ticking over if they ever want to use it again.

      In my opinion though the biggest giveaway that it’s feds is doing a blm search on the account and taking note of the fact it did not signal boost a single blm activist during the whole uprising. The only thing they did do was deny blm started a fire once, which is just disinformation prevention which is within average fed activities if they think it will cause potential largescale violence. If it was misguided anti-establishment person or group then the blm uprising would’ve been massively covered because it was incredibly interesting but they didn’t cover or really boost it at all. Even your average clueless liberal boosted it more.

      You see, you’re still supporting them through vibes

      Liberals and thinking politics is a team sport, name a more iconic duo

    Umm…there’s a “anonymous” twitter account? I’m just learning about this, and even if you hadn’t said it, my first thought about that would be “this is a fed account.”

    I was torn about gossip or slop on this one, but honestly this account has more clout than most of the people from the left we put in gossip so I think it can be a “public figure”. Feds are public figures right? They’re feds, did I mention they’re feds?

    In coincidence - on Bluesky I blocked them a few hours ago. They make one lib post after another.

    I just remembered. That was the second Anonymous account on Bluesky I blocked. I wonder how many there are.
