Nono, I’ve heard of that tactic but it’s really as simple as “these people are saying this thing I dislike” and “no actually I hang out with those people and they usually say this actually”.

I monitor these people, and you can't go ten seconds without them ranting about the US and the Imperial Core and Ukrainian Nazi Proxies.

It’s not that deep, I’m not boogie man, and don’t really care enough to be that subversive.

I've heard and seen way too many tankies over the year play innocent to be trusting. You come in saying "No, actually, this very obvious and apparent phenomenon isn't something I've ever heard before", you don't get the benefit of the doubt, like conservatives who say "Well, I've never heard any of my conservative friends say anything BAD about LGBT folk"

Theoretically possible, but unlikely.
