    I don’t know about the fed level, but in my limited experience the haircut thing is not really accurate. I feel like looking at haircut and shoes comes from another and much more primitive era of law enforcement. A lot of undercover people work long-term as undercover people, and they have deliberately sort of “fellow kids” hair and facial hair.

    Vibes and how well you know the person are more reliable than any specific checklist. If you wanted the checklist though, this is not a bad one.

    One additional thing I’ve noticed as a tell is that everything is polished. Whatever type of “street” clothes they want to put on, the shirt tends to be neat and spotless, everything is clean, the facial hair is groomed. I imagine it varies by the skill level of the person, but in general cops don’t like to be sloppy. Even their “sloppiness” costume will still be neat and presentable.

      Not to mention - the “tight and high” and “looking better with a suit and tie” throws off the whole anarchy thing for everyone.

      Much easier to do anything when you don’t look or act like a threat.

      Results are what matter anyway. Unless we are all free, there isn’t a point to rebelling aesthetically.

      I don’t think this was intended as a replacement for proper vetting processes. Sure, looking at people’s haircuts won’t catch the worst ones, but not all would-be infiltrators are super-spies, either.

    There’s also a long history of undercover feds self-identifying as anarchists, and leaked intelligence training that pushing for anarchism is one of the best ways for them to disrupt leftist movements trying to establish a socialist/communist state.

    But y’all don’t like to talk about that.

      “Hey everyone nice party you’ve got here but have you consdiered all the ANARCHIST INFILTRATORS DESTROYING YOUR RANKS FROM WITHIN?!!! Why isn’t anyone taking this infiltration seriously!? I think we need to clean house immediately and get all these CIA Anarchists out!”

      Who are you again?

      Anyway maybe that tactic works so often because most “leftist” gatherings are just another rally for another cult of personality around another authoritarian leader? If these people weren’t investing so much energy into vanguarding and demonizing “the bad leftists” they might have built some actual solidarity and resistance to being infiltrated by cops.

    The UK Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion movements were infiltrated and the activists received lengthy jail terms. I did wonder about their recruitment methods and it seemed that people randomly came into contact with the group, making identification of feds a problem. You would imagine that it’s pretty difficult for the fed to maintain the required level pretence to remain undetected but they are probably terrible people to start with.

        Do you really suggest I stress that on “one” and… what, the emptiness at the end of the line? A stressed pause? Courageous.

          I wouldn’t dare suggest what you stress in an anarchy community.

          Oh, btw, here’s the ‘h’ you dropped from rhythm. Have some more so you’ve got spares.

            Someone seems to have confused “no rulers” with “no rules”. Also there’s no h in ῥυθμός that’s some Anglo colonialism you’re involved in, there. You probably stole all of those from the French.

              Not acknowledging that that rough breathing mark is an “h” is the real Anglo colonialism here.

                I’m not Greek and know nothing about the diacritics, but from wikipedia seems to just be ρ with rough breathing. Should be “rhe”? I may be saying the complete obvious, that’s just what I got from the wiki :p

                It indeed is “rhythmos”.

                  I know, but the letter is actually just ρ. We don’t have a different sounding r in Greek

      Third epitrite (dah dah DAT dah) aka 4/4 offbeat throughout. In the original last dah after “hands” (which is on DAT) is a pause.

      I shall simply be pointing out “Fits betER with a suit AND tie”. That ‘er’ is not a place where you can put stress, under any circumstance, and the “and” is questionable at best given that it would be the first syllable to vanish into “suit ‘n’ tie” in natural speech.
