Why would the government spend resources on spying on feminist groups and/or black people social clubs? They pose literally zero danger to the interests of the ruling class?

Respectfully, that take is naive as fuck. Considering the political climate then (and even now), it’s not hard to see how groups of citizens banding together for collective actions can easily disrupt the gravy train of the money class. Look at how quickly shit gets done in places like France when they have a general strike.
A mass of citizens banding together will ALWAYS be a threat to the ruling class. Because the ruling class only rules as long as the population is willing to let them rule, because their rule requires the citizenry to enforce and uphold the system.
We also have the Snowden revelations… They also snoop on regular “normal” citizens, non-citizens and about everyone.
And concerning the “why”: I guess if your job is to spy on people, and you have a big budget available, you do just that. And it’s “better” to do more surveillance, than to miss something. Ideally you’d do total surveillance. Only thing stopping that is law and maybe some supervisory board.
I mean, its either trolling, or some people just have that much trouble trying to understand a concept. Not everyone is fortunate enough to be born with a baseline ability to learn things. Or some people are just in denial. I mean, if you suddenly learn, that the people in power have been doing a lot of sinister things, its hard to accept that reality.
Edit: Okay its a troll
Mods logs is wild.
Removed Post Is that Holocaust photo a forgery?
reason: Trolling
Really? Out of hundreds of posts and comments I have made, a literal couple of posts that did not land well make the log “wild”? And color me a troll altogether? Congratulations on your thought process.

I was right about that photo not being a gas chamber and the bodies not having been killed in Dachau. They were imported from elsewhere to be cremated. And the Wikipedia statement stands, the Sonderkommando clandestine photos are perhaps the only ones depicting events around the gas chambers, and were taken with risk of life by a Greek Sonderkommando.
Now if some people can’t stand discussing Holocaust history in detail before jumping to unwarranted “Holocaust denialism” accusations, then what is left to say? Good for you. Despite me citing by name all the major killing centers in Eastern Poland. But this is the standards you people uphold: mentioning Holocaust = Holocaust denial. W h a t e v e r.
This was back in peak Racism/Anti women rights times, the simple fact they were in a group, talking to each other about god knows what was enough of a threat to these thin skinned assholes to warrant wasting money and time on this.
