Fun fact: the FBI hates losing cases, so much so they mainly stage big cases via entrapment and only prosecute when it seems certain they can win. This also encourages framings. Though they value getting factual information out of informants etc (unlike the CIA who will take any actionable information hence the torture confessions etc) the FBI does value winning more than the truth.
Though we think the bit about trust circles no larger than five seems arbitrary even if around there is the tested squad size and that you can operate with scaling levels of opsec in large chats like keeping engagement above the board, your social media and chat activity can bring you down if you’re not careful. No bragging, no unfounded rumors. The point of opsec and security culture is to help you do what you want to do safer, we can’t let it paralyze us, but we can be as careful as the consequences entail.
a lot of “analysis if extremists” sites have pretty fallacious analysis, but this one generally has content that conveys a good read of things

Honestly this is how elections work too, the elected acts as a figure head and a lightning rod, if fundamental functions of the state get too unpopular they can blame the figure head and in the next election basically cathartically simulate an overthrow w/o fundamental change in rulership.
“Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This is a question of the first importance for the revolution. The basic reason why all previous revolutionary struggles in China achieved so little was their failure to unite with real friends in order to attack real enemies.” ~ Mao

“Spread out, have y’all shit ready, hit these motherfuckers from the top of these buildings, from everywhere yo, like, it’s more of us than them. That’s the motherfucking plan. Get your shit, spread the fuck out, let’s starting flooding they motherfucking asses. I’m getting my shit together. I’m about to just strike as much as I can, while I can, and just get up out of there, in and out, in and out, in and out. Keep sabotaging shit. And move the fuck around.”
