      well, you said yourself how it relates to this post in your definition, an agent who is doing some kind of surveillance to better understand a group, usually to control them, villify them, etc. the trouble is, most of the time this kind of work is done not against extremists, but activists and minority groups like us so they can oppress us and strip away our rights
