“But the police, who in the small town of Garner where Amazon is the biggest employer act as a kind of private security force, didn’t care and just took us off to jail.” (jacobin.com)

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.

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

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

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.
