The FBI actively sabotaged and dismantled the American Indian Movement, the Chicano Movement, and the Black Power movement but the KKK is still alive and well today.
So actually I’ve seen this go around enough that it bears pointing out. The FBI actually did infiltrate and sabotage the KKK in the 1960s and 70s, and the huge number of informants and infiltrators is the main reason the Klan is so splintered today into like a dozen groups, most of which hate and denounce each other. Furthermore the KKK is not really alive and well at all. It was on a steady decline into total obscurity until 2009 when Obama took office and there was an explosion of right-wing extremist activity, including a surge in the number of Klan groups and membership in such groups.
That being said, the level of violence was nowhere near the same. Afaik the FBI never killed any KKK people but they straight up murdered several people in the American Indian Movement and Black Panthers. Plus the KKK was still lynching plenty of people at this time and the AIM and Black Panthers hadn’t hurt anyone. The FBI’s priorities were totally fucked. J Edgar Hoover had to be convinced to go after the Klan.
The Government Is Your Friend. Move On Citizen. This Information Is Above Your Security Clearance. The State Is Good For Marginalized People. Freedom Is Slavery.
