The Spy's Preferred Environment

 The CIA (or more relevantly MI6) adores crime because spies are dysfunctional rejects who stand out like sore thumbs unless they're surrounded by other misfits. Disguise is a myth. If you have a serious bum and crime problem, then a spy can at least competently pretend to be a puke-soaked vagrant without undue notice.

 If your internet forum is inundated by morons and trolls, the spy's toddler-like social skills stop being remarkable. The CIA couldn't into usenet, thus, AOL.

 The real reason the FBI keeps running KKK and nazi rings is because their [undercover] agents fit right in. You can't put them anywhere else. Skinhead is, in fact, a term of endearment that refers to feds. Or else.

 Discord is 50% pedophiles because spies are creepy as fuck. Pedo-adjacent. Would all get banned instantly out of sheer ick if pedos (or furries) weren't normalized.

 You have to read catcher in the rye in school so that when you encounter holden caulfield in the wild your first thought isn't about how hard he glows.
 See also, stuff like david eddings. His gandalf expy 'disguises' himself as a degenerate diogenes all the time...because he has no other option. Your town better already have a town drunk, or else.

 A non-small part of the reason broken window policing works is because you accidentally drive off all the spies. Lose all your saboteurs and provocateurs. Holding members to standards on pain of exile is anathema to 'clandestine' operations.

 Relatedly, immigration is always a crime. Winners stay home, only losers need to try their luck elsewhere. The only guys worth importing don't want to leave. Immigrants = spies because immigrant = criminal.

 As a hilarious example, cross-dressing doesn't work...but women, especially, don't want to be spies. Solution: trannies. If you make it a whole 'trend' your spies can get into female spaces, now can't they? Their inability to disguise themselves is no longer a handicap.
Doubly funny since you don't need spies in female spaces. They're delighted to narc and snitch. But spies are genuinely that dumb.

 The CIA likes hollywood because it needs them to train and equip its spies. Costume-laundering front. I think this may be far more profound than it looks...

 I start to think modern 'liberalism' is specifically spy Democracy...

 Art is left-wing because art is only produced by patronage, and the patron is a bunch of spies. All TV shows are woke because the executive producer is either CIA or doesn't exist. In 2013 this connection became legal and nearly above-board. I mean, maybe netflix is NSA instead or something.



 Newton invented spies for [the mint], which was a euphemism for the central bank. The locus of legalized counterfeiting; he needed extraordinary efforts to suppress his counterfeiting competitors. At this point, perhaps it was inevitable that the spy agencies would take over the government, leading to centuries of spy-based rule. Especially inevitable given the fact they started hunched over the purse, muttering [my precious].

 Coinage (not money per se) was invented, of course, for the purposes of taxing more harshly. Today, parasitism is still the primary function of coinage and any coin-backed bank note. They have kings on the faces because that's who it's for. That's the customer.
