    Sometimes I wonder if the FBI guy assigned to monitor my suspicions online activities upvotes, or downvotes my comments.

      Yeah man. Your hands are all sweaty holding the walkie as your coworkers come in to take away one of the nicest guys you know. Too bad he turned out to be a pedo. You think you know a person… Well now he can get the help he needs.

      So much! It’s such a drag having to hide the walkie talkie all the time.

    IRL, your very recent bestie who pushed out your bestie-of-ten-years is the one to signal it’s time to move in. FBI has a long running pattern of deciding that someone must be a terrorist (or is a good candidate for gaslighting into terrorism) so they can conduct an elaborate sting operation, often involving replacing all the victim’s friends with FBI plants.

    If you remember Kellyanne Conway’s Bowling Green Massacre, there wasn’t a massacre but some arrests, and they were of the gaslight them until they do something barely terroristy enough to get a conviction category.

    I wrote a blogpiece about it in 2016, noting it was much less of a massacre thank Conway was letting on, but still quite the debacle.

    Anyway, as bad as it feels being betrayed by your friend of ten years, it’s hard not to feel like a rat for having kicked that friend out for a newer, cooler friend, only to have them signal when there’s enough evidence.

    Honestly this would be a pretty fun prank. Then have his other friends dressed as agents come in.

    I’ll have the last laugh when that asshole encounters a new breed of criminal. And the only person that can help him solve the crime in time is the greatest regret and nemesis from his past. I will assist only via rhyming riddles from my padded cell.

      But when you get your revenge and watch him die he finally reveals that he was playing a double game, your imprisonment was the only way to save you from assassination, he’s been working for the cause the whole time.
