There is no language that intel agencies will not appropriate for their own purposes, however well-intended those services are.

This sucks but it's not new. Power systems adopt the language and even the figures of rebellion/revolution all the time. Doing this both legitimates the system and also disempowers dissent. (Not that I love woke-talk, but in its origins at least it was once about dissent)

It's like a friend who approaches you about an amazing opportunity. They say all the right words and phrases that make you feel good about this new opportunity. Then you suddenly realize your friend is shilling for a multi-level marketing, pyramid scheme.
