Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

It's totally entrapment.

The victims usually don't have the capacity to mount a sufficient legal defense.

In you remember Kellyanne Conway's Bowling Green Massacre the incident that was based on was similar. FBI gaslighted three refugee inmigrants in order to get them to aid and abet a fictional terror plot so they could be charged with terrorism, so that FBI could assert it was stopping terrorism.

FBI creates a dozen such cases every year, specifically targetting vulnerable people with mental health problems or who are clinically retarded. They end up with really long prison sentences.

FYI this took place in Australia.
