This is eerily similar to my experience with trying to organize with anarchists.

Half of them are "cool".

The other half...they think they're doing a heckin praxis by "outing" tankies and "authoritarians" because they don't follow the state department line on Russia or China.

I never identified myself as a Marxist, and at several points they revealed their plans to scapegoat the only openly Marxist members of the group if shit went down with cops. I stopped organizing IRL because of this because my city doesn't really have any good Marxist orgs or much leftist organizing in general.

Just a bunch of internet poisoned white kids thinking they're heroes doing anti-fascist praxis by trying to get good comrades (who are just trying to feed people and take care of the homeless) arrested by actual fascists. I think their hearts are in the right place and they want to do the right thing, but have their brains so broken by Western media that they're in effect more dangerous than the average lib or chud because their idealism is so strong.

yep exactly. as just people to run into at a bar or something most of them are fine, even charming and fun, but for any revolutionary activity I think working with them is an opsec nightmare which will absolutely lead to people like us being thrown under the bus.
