And by that I mean the kinds that you would find infiltrating online spaces, either to entrap people or to surveil on them. Think the CIA, FBI, Canada's CSIS...etc.
I have the misfortune of having dealt with bona fide feds both online and in real life, for a really long period of time, so I have learned a few things about them.
First thing: these men all think that they are hot shit, when in fact they are completely, thoroughly, absolutely ordinary. And don't get fooled into thinking that they are smart. These people think that just because they have managed to stuff a lot of knowledge into their heads and that they have a good memory (this is a big one. Feds REALLY believe that having an extraordinary memory is the hallmark of intelligence, lmao), that this must mean that they're smart. This is really, really laughable. News to you feds: it's not about how much you know, it's about how you manipulate what you do know. And in a sense, these feds are very similar to those we would find in left-wing circles. They all think that if they know a few things about the computer, can balance a few equations in a math or chemistry course, can spew a few big words, that it means they're smarter than everybody else. And to prove the above, ask yourself: when was the last time a fed was lauded for making a contribution to the advancement of human thoughts and endeavors? And I don't mean the Nobel prize. Very few people can win this prize, and it's fine if the feds can't. But I am asking you why we just automatically assume feds are smart when the reality is that they really haven't done anything significant, academically speaking. The only thing they are good at is spying on people from a distance and occasionally bursting out of their offices to harass lawful people in real life. Moreover, feds' intelligence is all self-diagnosed. They just all congratulate one another over their supposed superior intellect, which is measured by criteria that they themselves came up with. And I am not saying the feds are dumb people, I mean obviously they aren't, but they just compare themselves to the average person and then start to get a hard-on thinking they are now geniuses. And this is why when they are confronted with someone who is truly intelligent, they become confused, disoriented, and they don't know what to do. By the way, the feds also genuinely think that they are good judges of other people's levels of intelligence. This one really, really makes me laugh. And predictably, they encounter true geniuses who slipped through detection, and they have meetings upon emergency meetings about what to do about them, and occasionally how to detect such true intelligence in the future. And trust me, the reason they want to be able to identify geniuses is not because they want to foster these people's abilities so that they can contribute to human advancement. Feds do this because they are control freaks. They want to be in control of everything, everybody, all the time. So as you can see, this is very egotistic, and worthy of contempt.
Second, to expand on the foregoing that these feds are actually not as smart as either they or we think: You see, I have no proof but I bet the fed-selection process involves something whereby the top-brass interviewing feds ask prospective feds to break a law. Of course, there is detail and nuance to this process, but the end result is that people fail this test not because they are not smart enough to make the cut, but rather, it's because they are too upright to be a fed. You see, to be a successful fed, you have to be 100% obedient to your masters and be willing to break a law at their bidding. So, don't think for one second that just because you applied to be a fed but didn't qualify that it meant you lost out to people smarter than you. No. It meant you lost out to people who are less scrupulous than you are.
Third, the feds are very, very unlikable people. They are elitist, smug and arrogant (without cause), and they are the kinds of people whose face you really want to punch. And they are very poor at being creative. If you ever have the chance to converse with a fed (I have), you will see that their style of communicating and especially their sense of humor, is very clunky. This is a very curious phenomenon, because usually smart people also tend to be funny. But somehow the ones who qualified to be a genuine fed seem to have been hit with the clunk stick. Talking to them is very very un-inspirational, which is another strange thing. Usually, truly intelligent people are also good at inspiring others, but feds absolutely fail at this. And as you interact with more feds, you will see more and more traits emerge that apply uniformly to all of them, and you should make note of this, and study it, because it will give you a window into the inner workings of a fed as well as how fed institutions work.
Lastly, this ties into the feds' lack of a conscience. A lot of feds break laws without blinking. There are feds who hack into people's computers routinely. They spy on law-abiding people without qualms. They infiltrate groups of people and see nothing wrong with it. And they draw a salary funded by you while doing these things.
