I don't know about the fed level, but in my limited experience the haircut thing is not really accurate. I feel like looking at haircut and shoes comes from another and much more primitive era of law enforcement. A lot of undercover people work long-term as undercover people, and they have deliberately sort of "fellow kids" hair and facial hair.

Vibes and how well you know the person are more reliable than any specific checklist. If you wanted the checklist though, this is not a bad one.

One additional thing I've noticed as a tell is that everything is polished. Whatever type of "street" clothes they want to put on, the shirt tends to be neat and spotless, everything is clean, the facial hair is groomed. I imagine it varies by the skill level of the person, but in general cops don't like to be sloppy. Even their "sloppiness" costume will still be neat and presentable.

Not to mention - the "tight and high" and "looking better with a suit and tie" throws off the whole anarchy thing for everyone.

Much easier to do anything when you don't look or act like a threat.

Results are what matter anyway. Unless we are all free, there isn't a point to rebelling aesthetically.

I don't think this was intended as a replacement for proper vetting processes. Sure, looking at people's haircuts won't catch the worst ones, but not all would-be infiltrators are super-spies, either.

I read the whole thing as “Fred”, and thought “That’s getting pretty dark for Scooby Doo. He’s not that bad”.

I mind-sung it to "She'll be Coming 'Round the Mountain".

Mine was “If you’re happy and you know it”.

Edit: just saw that caption under the screenshot 😂

Use Woody Gurthrie's voice and and stop for a harmonica break after stanza 3.

There’s also a long history of undercover feds self-identifying as anarchists, and leaked intelligence training that pushing for anarchism is one of the best ways for them to disrupt leftist movements trying to establish a socialist/communist state.

But y’all don’t like to talk about that.

"Hey everyone nice party you've got here but have you consdiered all the ANARCHIST INFILTRATORS DESTROYING YOUR RANKS FROM WITHIN?!!! Why isn't anyone taking this infiltration seriously!? I think we need to clean house immediately and get all these CIA Anarchists out!"

Who are you again?

Anyway maybe that tactic works so often because most "leftist" gatherings are just another rally for another cult of personality around another authoritarian leader? If these people weren't investing so much energy into vanguarding and demonizing "the bad leftists" they might have built some actual solidarity and resistance to being infiltrated by cops.

Fed posting used to be believable.

We don't want to talk about tankie paranoia, no.

The UK Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion movements were infiltrated and the activists received lengthy jail terms. I did wonder about their recruitment methods and it seemed that people randomly came into contact with the group, making identification of feds a problem. You would imagine that it's pretty difficult for the fed to maintain the required level pretence to remain undetected but they are probably terrible people to start with.

someone desperately needs to learn meter

and all that guy does is poke at it for not having perfect meter when the history of comedic music from Gilbert & Sullivan to Weird Al is rife with elongations and contractions to make a joke fit a melody

Do you really suggest I stress that on "one" and... what, the emptiness at the end of the line? A stressed pause? Courageous.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I wouldn't dare suggest what you stress in an anarchy community.

Oh, btw, here's the 'h' you dropped from rhythm. Have some more so you've got spares.

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Someone seems to have confused "no rulers" with "no rules". Also there's no h in ῥυθμός that's some Anglo colonialism you're involved in, there. You probably stole all of those from the French.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

there's no h in ῥυθμός

Not acknowledging that that rough breathing mark is an "h" is the real Anglo colonialism here.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

excuse me, but as a Greek, what the fuck is this ῥ?

[-] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I'm not Greek and know nothing about the diacritics, but from wikipedia seems to just be ρ with rough breathing. Should be "rhe"? I may be saying the complete obvious, that's just what I got from the wiki :p

It indeed is "rhythmos".

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I know, but the letter is actually just ρ. We don't have a different sounding r in Greek

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

We don't have a different sounding r in Greek

Modern greek. The word's from ancient greek;

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%BF%A5%CF%85%CE%B8%CE%BC%CF%8C%CF%82

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CF%81%CF%85%CE%B8%CE%BC%CF%8C%CF%82

Notice how the modern word dropped that diacritic

[-] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Third epitrite (dah dah DAT dah) aka 4/4 offbeat throughout. In the original last dah after "hands" (which is on DAT) is a pause.

I shall simply be pointing out "Fits betER with a suit AND tie". That 'er' is not a place where you can put stress, under any circumstance, and the "and" is questionable at best given that it would be the first syllable to vanish into "suit 'n' tie" in natural speech.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, that one line needs fixing:

If his haircut's tight and high
And it fits a suit and tie

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to [email protected]

Rules

  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
