The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The SPLC and its defenders, including legal experts, argue that infiltrating hate groups is a standard intelligence-gathering tactic that has saved lives and helped law enforcement.

It's not new. Superman did it in the 30s, I think.

[googling]

en.wikipedia.org - Superman Smashes the Klan

A real guy did it, and it was published in the Superman comics. Though I was wrong...it was the 40s, and on the radio.

Superman Smashes the Klan is loosely based on a 16-part episode story-arc, "Clan of the Fiery Cross", from the radio serial Adventures of Superman which ran from June to July 1946.[3][6][8] In the radio serial, "Superman exposed Ku Klux Klan codewords, rituals, and its bigotry—all based on intel collected by activist Stetson Kennedy—before a national audience. The show damaged the group's reputation and led to a steep decline in membership from which the KKK never recovered".[6]
