Historically, police in most countries were always keen to have either informants or undercovers amongst protest movements of a certain cize. The UK in particular had a couple of pretty high-profile incidents, where it came out that they used undercover cops to penetrate various "left" movements and stir things up. (And knock up fellow activists on the way.) And that's not even going into what UK law enforcement is willing to do if it's properly motivated (*cough* Ireland *cough*).

Private Speech posted:Humm. I really don't know. It's possible the more conservative parts over-exaggerate their influence. The only US quakers I've met were a couple from new york who seemed quite happy with the very leftist slant of the meetings. I think its less "fight alongside the Kurds" and more "if people just up and leave right now, Turkey is going to do a mass murder on Kurds... again"

I've done that before, about 4 months ago, I stuck this thread into a pattern recognition/predictor program I wrote and after a few hours it spat out an endless string of "The EU, the EU, the EU, brexit, The EU, the EU, brexit, brexit. Brexit. The EU." in varied forms. That was a.. mistake.

This thread is real bad btw, the centrist author is literally accusing XR of being a nihilist sect (duh), and then likening them to ghandhi who akshually was not non-violent either. lol, shut the gently caress up liberal.

Of course there's a load of idiots involved, people are generally not all that smart, that's life (I include myself in that group). It's a plain smear. If you couldn't have some idiots involved in any protest movement, you'd never be able to do one.

At the same time the US troops there are very much not of the peacekeeping variety, but I can see the moral argument. Really I was just surprised how keen she was in the tweets, including some where she's literally calling for, well, militarily supporting 'our allies' (meaning kurds specifically).

According to the Sunday Times of London, [Elton] John recounted attending a royal party some years ago in which he watched the Queen ask Princess Margaret’s son, Viscount Linley, to check in on Linley’s sister, who had taken ill. Apparently, Linley didn’t want to do that, so the Queen showed him who was boss. Per Sir Elton’s recollection: “When he [Linley] repeatedly tried to fob her off, the Queen lightly slapped him across the face, saying ‘Don’t’ – slap – ‘argue’ – slap – ‘with’ – slap – ‘me’ – slap – ‘I’ – slap – ‘am’ – slap – ‘THE QUEEN!’” Then, John said, the Queen winked at him when Linley walked away. “I know the Queen’s public image isn’t exactly one of wild frivolity, but . . . in private she could be hilarious,” he wrote, according to the Sunday Times.

Hillary Clinton's never been shy about using the military. She supported the bombing of Yugoslavia, voted in favour of the invasion of Iraq, favoured arming Syrian rebels and airstrikes on Syrian air bases and supported NATO-led intervention in Libya.

Maybe the cops got bored of infiltrating green peace and ran out of lefty young activists to impregnate so decided to start their own
