Am I missing the evidence that it's someone impersonating a cop rather than actually being a cop?

holy shit that's a lotta disinfo

I can't imagine any of the primary sources sharing them "accidentally" (not faulting secondary viewers who got tricked) which suggests a deliberate effort to mislead people and muddy the water.

I guess I'm curious, then, who does the disinfo serve? Lone actors trying to attract attention? Anti-Israel strategy to make it difficult for them to garner any information from videos? Pro-Israel strategy to sow doubt about legitimate hits?

or "improving society for everyone magically benefits me too"

If westerners need magical narratives to dial back their hyper-individualism I'm all for it.

Dentistry is like therapy in that they're both necessary but capitalism produces such perverse incentives that it seems easier to just ignore problems and die young

The degree to which that's true is more due to survivorship bias and US culture than quality of theory or praxis imo, but regardless of reasoning I agree with your conclusion broadly. Internet "activism" involves way too much purity testing and not enough pragmatic engagement. The [org] that feeds the children gets my support, even if it happens to (somehow) be anarchist or trot.

The second step after learning initial theory is going out and applying it, even if that means in a less-than-perfect org. The third step can then be critiquing the org and altering course, but too many leftist skip the real-life engagement part of the dialectic. My first org was a fairly radical DSA chapter and I met a lot of good people, including other MLs.

looking for a leftist group

ask the representative if their org is anarchist or trot

he doesn't understand

pull out illustrated diagram explaing what is anarchist and what is trot

he laughs and says "it's a good org sir"

pay for membership

its trot

gonna give it an honest go because a lot of trots are still comrades but damn I wish there were more options lmao
