The Proud Boys were heavily infiltrated up to and including Enrique Tarrio. Atomwaffen was entirely astroturfed. The libertarians entrapped in the Gretchen Whitmer case. The "right" has a long history of FBI infiltration--klan meetings being comprised entirely of feds trying to bust each other has been a running joke for decades.
The "left" is similar, but it's not usually the the FBI these days AFAICT.
I've always felt like the fact that they seem to constantly be thoroughly invested in the right wing groups and let them persist, while they barely infiltrate the left and done everything they can to destroy them asap, really suggests theyre not so much infiltrating the right wingers as much as taking control because they actually support the underlying ideology....
But maybe that's just something I see and is just a perception issue.
