My aunt has cancer in her family. She has lost her mother, three siblings, and 5 nieces/nephews to cancer (plus two more who had cancer and survived). She’s in her early 50s and has the Bracca gene. When she went to ask for a preventative double mastectomy the insurance company said no bc “there isn’t enough history”. For her, it wasn’t a matter of if but when she gets cancer. She finally got cancer two years ago and luckily responded well to treatment but the fact that having almost 10 close blood relatives doesn’t qualify her for preventive treatment is insane. Health insurance is ridiculous in this country

Yes, I think that's what everybody understands an informant to be. The problem is that the FBI was clearly terrible at recruiting informants, and put way too much trust in them. The failure by the Dems to clean out corrupted institutions means that the Proud Boys have been able to basically use credulous FBI agents to launder Proud Boy ideas into the Federal Government.

This resulted in things like Chad Wolf genuinely trying to hunt imaginary phantom Antifa terrorists using DHS fusion centers during the 2020 social justice protests. The rank and file agents who were working in those fusion centers are still there. And the informants issue is representative of the broader issue of who was doing the informant recruiting, and what sort of information they were interested in, and what they did with that information.

It’s happening right here on Reddit, constantly. They post and upvote anti-American content and photos constantly and have a rah-rah circle jerk about how evil America is in the comments. They also love to incite the far right to pass some insane law or do some insane stunt, and then they post about it HERE, and in the comments you can see those same accounts subtly egging people to violence. Their goal is to ultimately pit Americans versus Americans and tear us apart. And it’s working. This site is becoming rapidly a hate snake pit, powered by Russian troll farms.

And the Russian paper army HATE being called out; they will bandwagon onto making fun of you, insulting you, calling you a schitzo, etc.

It’s also so tiring, and the Reddit admins don’t seem to care as long as the site continues to get streamlined towards their IPO.
