In international political language it's called plausible deniability ..... they want to give advice direction support or even supplies to guide and show you how to do something and even point you the way, but if you get caught or get in trouble .... they throw up their hands "I don't know this guy, never heard of him and what he did was terrible, what's wrong with people that they're driven to do these things?"

Yes, lemme take up your time so I can feel like I’m doing something good and caring but then I don’t want to carry the responsibility of what consequences that might bring.
