Getting Shining Path vibes now from DGR with this lib shit of becoming a bunch of terfs and acting as wrecking balls for leftist environmental unity. Also Politico is writing this as though it's the fault of trans activists cuss fucking of course they would :agony:
This org screams intel-op. Like they dont even have to be government/industry operatives themselves, just the fact that they probably receive anonymous funding from those sources. Like this is exactly what counter intelligence organizations want to do to left wing movements, create dissension, fragmentation, and stall action. The fact that they so very prominently associate themselves as terfs is also really weird for an environmental movement. Like if they really gave a shit about their radical environmental claims like they say they do they would publicly jettison their terf shit the moment it caused problems for their main goals; like I dont care if they stop being bigots, they could just shut up about it when working on a more important goal. The fact that they stick to that and make it a thing is super weird. If I were a major player in any environmental action I would do everything I could to cauterize my org and organizing from these people, they are an obvious massive liability, even if they didnt stir shit in the movement the fact that they are such odious bigots would be a massive point of PR vulnerability for a movement that needs to court the general public if it wants to succeed (Both for good and bad the trasnsphobia will alienate libs from and be highly unlikely to attract Cons, a few of whom might be sympathetic regardless, to your movement).
Looking into DGR showed they advocated some pretty militant shit in the 2010s and even had guidelines on creating a public face and private cells for direct eco-terrorism (never heard of them committing any eco-terrorism though which makes them even lamer). Would put money down they got honey potted or infiltrated in a way that compromised them and are now used as a back pocket extremist group the fed can use as they need.
