I guess we might see as the case actually starts up, but I tend towards this basic posture:
> Infiltrating hate groups with informants is something that goes way back to the civil rights era and before. It's never been something only the government can do, especially when the government is more likely to be showing up for the white power happy hour every third Thursday at Chili's.

And to be extremely skeptical of this administration working in good faith. The lawfare to destroy the good, to destroy institutions, by the very worst, is just out of control. The expression of power of the rich to destroy has gone up and up and up, and they keep getting by even as they destroy load bearing elements of society:
> I will say, frivolously suing a nonprofit for fraud has become A Thing recently. See, e.g., James Huntsman's suit against the Mormon Church or Elon Musk's against OpenAI.
> But rich people wasting money to punish nonprofits they no longer like is one thing;* the government doing it is another.

The FBI had been paying the SPLC to do just this sort of thing, until the new extremist administration stepped in. The people waging this case know all that. The donors new the work the SPLC did. And it's quite clear they can't be expected to show receipts, and safely show where all the money goes. https://bsky.app/profile/tomjoscelyn.bsky.social/post/3mk25s5ir5k2l https://bsky.app/profile/tomjoscelyn.bsky.social/post/3mk25s...
More despicable illegitemate mis-governance as usual by the most chaotic evil US government we have ever had.
- fuckinpuppers 6mo agoYes this is lawfare. They paid people to infiltrate. That’s exactly what going undercover is, and we don’t have any problems with that. This is them applying a bias against an institution they don’t like by framing it as fraud and abuse (while they ransack the country at levels 100x larger)
- SV_BubbleTime 6mo agoThe issue is not paying people to infiltrate it is the fraud and money laundering. Did you read the indictment?
- jauntywundrkind 6mo agoIt's from a bunch of useless known liars saying very little of substance & making lots of hot air. It's pretty unclear what the accusation really isal, amid all the grandstanding. It sort of seems like they are saying: the SPLC didn't make it crystal clear what your money was going to and who we were paying, when. Some of it went to bad people. This is fraud. On the contrary, I think many of the people funding SPLC are very happy about where there money is going. And it's clear why the SPLC can't tell you where exactly the money is going. Their work is so well known that the FBI has been (until the deplorables) paying them to do exactly this! These people been and twist reality while saying nothing, while only obfuscating the truth. This case is the fraud.
- SV_BubbleTime 6mo agoOk. 11 indictments in federal court for the hard crimes that typically require physical evidence of money, laundering, and wire fraud… yes that’s probably just from a bunch of use known liars, saying a little of substance. So I guess that’s an answer that no you did not read the indictment?
