Let me remind people of something else. Like VV, I've got a background in political activism going way back, in my case of the libertarian persuasion. I could even point you to a website full of polemics I've written for the cause over the years if you cared. As an old friend of mine way back in the early years of gaming used to say "I always go by my own name".
I've dealt with my share of moles and informers over the years. Coming in and trying to sow gloom and depression is not how they operate. That would be WAY too low-key. What they always have done in my experience has been to egg you on. Usually pointing toward something spectacularly stupid that you can easily be arrested for. Usually under the guise of
Now, a corporate stooge might operate a bit differently. I've had occasion to observe THEM, too, in my day job. They *can* be slightly more dangerous sometimes, and considerably less predictable. But again, subtle psychological warfare is not what they're going to attempt. They want to get the goods on somebody, or provoke them into doing something actionable, or something that makes the cause look bad. They might use defeatist talk as part of their rhetoric, but usually not just in an attempt to get you to give up.
So, don't do anything stupid, and keep your spirits up. We've undoubtedly got people from their PR firm at the very least reading this website, and/or very likely someone from their corporate security. "Just smile and wave, boys, just smile and wave." *We* are the good guys here, which has to stick in their craws, and they'd like nothing better than to pin some destructive or childish act on us to diminish our standing in the public eye. Don't give 'em the satisfaction.
