The government comes after people left and right all the time who don’t do any of those things.
I’m conflicted here. I’m familiar enough with online “leftist” (especially of the supposed anti-colonial stripe) spaces to know how many bad, often highly illegal things are coordinated there. But I’m familiar enough with the FBI to know that their actual activities often consist of terrorizing political dissidents for no other reason than to neutralize their opinions. Without more information, it’s sensible to to default to innocent until proven guilty and push the FBI to justify themselves.
