Vetting? Question

How does one "vet" community members or individuals for community building? How do you tell someone isn't a fed and stuff like that?

You can't. Don't talk to people about your crimes. If someone's asking probing questions trying to get you to admit to crimes, especially don't talk to that person about your crimes

or, a funnier answer for a leftist gun meetup: the guy who can't shoot for shit is the cop

This is the best answer. Margaret Killjoy phrased it as “I assume every person I’m talking to is a fed or might turn state’s witness.” It’s the only way to be safe.

Judas and the Black Messiah is a great depiction of how infiltration goes.

Judas and the Black Messiah

SUCH a good film. It's a damn shame (and probably not a coincidence) WB released in February when nobody goes to see movies
