Hostile infiltration is common and highly effective within radical
political groups, and is routinely used not only by the government against
radical groups but also by radical groups with conflicting agendas against
each other.
"Unmasking" is always disruptive, because one can never distinguish between
an infiltrator or provocateur, and someone who is just naturally a stupid
asshole. However neither should we naively believe that everyone who
proclaims he shares our values, actually does share our values.
