The origin of the mole

The origin of the word "spy" can be traced back to a short message in the spy movie Infernal Affairs: "If there is a spy, the transaction is terminated".

In the ACG subculture, the word "mole" usually refers to spies who are loyal to the enemy camp and are lurking in our camp to spy. In the actual network language, the meaning of "inner ghost" has changed, which can refer to people who blend in with the masses, deviate from the mass line and do things that go against the people's favorite. In ACG's works, moles often appear in different levels of characters, causing different degrees of damage to the protagonist camp and even affecting the plot direction.

In a word, the word "spy" has become a common word, used to refer to those who work inside but leak confidential information to the outside. This behavior will not only cause losses to related companies or organizations, but also have a negative impact on social stability and security.

Ghosts may be caused by:

1. Money temptation: Money is a common motive. Because of greed or financial difficulties, moles may accept bribes, disclose confidential information or engage in sabotage.

2. Desire for power: Some people may desire higher power and status. In order to achieve personal goals, they may betray their own side and disclose confidential information to each other.

3. Revenge psychology: Individuals may have revenge psychology because of dissatisfaction, unfair treatment or conflict with organizations or individuals, and choose to betray their own party.

4. Ideology: An individual's political or religious beliefs may be inconsistent with the values of his organization, thus leading to the appearance of the mole. They may think that their beliefs are more important, so they choose to betray.
