    Here’s the problem with all that. You weren’t calling cops class traitors, you were calling a fellow user a class traitor for suggesting that the left infiltrate the cops to counter the influence of the right, and thereby weaken or dismantle the institution.

    So, you know, maybe don’t pretend that’s not what you were doing so you can pound your pulpit some more

      Actually I called what they said, “class traitor nonsense”. Nonsense that is class traitor-ie. They are advocating for class traitorism.

      As a general rule, I would recommend that you take paths of de-escalation when you get hints that you might be wrong.

        Wait, are you actually claiming that advocating the risk of infiltrating an enemy organization is somehow a betrayal? That’s just stupid.

          Nope. I am not speaking particularly vaguely.

          Do you know what a class traitor is and how this term is used by the left re: cops? It is okay that you don’t seem to. What is not cool is tripling down on being dismissive rather than trying to understand. You can ask me questions, for example.
