A place to point people to see what we're all about, the defining moments, the self-mythololoy, the best bits, the banned posters who have made us what we are today

I'm sure a couple of the more controversial early posters were feds sent to prevent co-ordination during the last wave of radicalism, not out of fedjacketing anyone specific (because most bad takes are just honestly bad takes) but purely on statistical chance.

I do want to give a shout out to our intelligence agency friends. who no doubt have to read a lot more theory than most of us do! Wonder how many get radicalised.

Wonder how many get radicalised.

One of the biggest problems they had with spying on Cuba was that their agents would sympathise and radicalise.
