Great message! You are absolutely correct in your assessment of how to respond to the certainty that infiltration and disruption occurs. Stand on your principles, and when others uphold those principles provide support. When they do not, do not support them.

There are no heroes. Every one of us is imperfect, and mistaken to some degree.

"... such accusations don't come from a place of insight with any degree of reliability, and I've therefore had to find my own way to navigate this confusing landscape."

This. Since we ourselves have imperfect understanding, and will only be able to improve our understanding by learning we are wrong, we must navigate based on our individual grasp of issues and principles.

However, given that all of us are imperfect and err as a result of imperfect understanding, we actually all do mistakenly support our enemies on occasion. While this doesn't make us shills, it does show that the best practice for dealing with the problem is what you do about it.

Do your own research, and make up your own mind. Change your mind when you find out you are wrong, and become right.

Thanks!
