Trump classifies “anti-capitalism” as a political pre-crime (jacobin.com)

Donald Trump’s new security directive labels anti-capitalist beliefs as a predictor of political violence. The irony: left-wing structural analysis actually pushes people away from lone-wolf attacks and toward mass organizing for change.

This whole fucking premise is based on ~~stupidity~~ control and power.

FTFY

See, if it were based on stupidity, that would imply these measures are based on good faith efforts to solve a real problem.

What we have here is fabricated issues being "solved" with measures that don't need to make sense. They just need it to give them more power, more control. It doesn't matter if they look "stupid". They aren't acting in good faith to begin with.
