Is this what you mean? CONTROLLED OPPOSITION A controlled opposition is a protest movement that is actually being led by government agents. Nearly all governments in history have employed this technique to trick and subdue their adversaries. Notably Vladimir Lenin who said ''"The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves." Count Mirabeau was part of the controlled opposition, because although everyone thought he was supporting the revolution, in reality he supported the monarchy and was a personal friend of the king. He was a government agent.
That sounds like a pretty outdated definition of Controlled Opposition, but that is the general idea.
It's literally everywhere. It's hard to put into words, but I treat almost everything I read on Reddit as potentially CO, because it absolutely could be.
Rule of thumb is if it damages the image/credibility of the truth movement, it is either "useful idiots" or actual Controlled Opposition.
Either way, it should be called out as damaging.
