Isn't domestic terrorism sending troops into your own cities when there is no reason (or a made up reason) for it?

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 29 points 22 hours ago

Ok, I am definitely not setting foot in the US for a long while. Let's be realistic, probably ever again.

Well my memorandum brands him as a turd.

Republican thought experiment: if Trump is the sworn enemy of anti fascists, then what does that make him?

Mad toothbrush moustache person?

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

He just wears the mustache on the inside.

This is so much worse than most of y'all seem to be taking it. This officially, with the force of law, turns anyone against the regime into a terrorist. The government has extra resources and abilities to go after terrorists, and the charge carries heavy prison time. Also, district attorneys love terrorism charges as wins on their record. They'll happily nail any one of us.

To my mind, nothing Trump has ever done is this scary.

There is no such thing as a domestic terrorist list. So idk what he's even adding them too.

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 16 hours ago

I'll bet there's a list, call it whatever you want.

Capitalism is a useless word because few people understand it the same. The supremacy of capital owning class is the most common understanding of both pro and anti Capitalists.

But Capitalism is originally defined as free and fair markets, and so against Supremacist corruption of markets where the counterparty negotiation class is necessarily oppressed.

So exterminating all government supremacist supporting politician minions, and nationalizing all of their donors' assets is the real proper interpretation of these domestic terrorists. But a bigger problem than intending the opposite, is that it is subject to absolutist expansion of supremacism. Refusing 16 hour shifts, or corporal punishment authority granted to your managers, or not letting a better richer capitalist destroy the land/property of a lesser poorer owner becomes anti-capitalist when Fox news/CNBC tells you it is.

Hasn't it always been treated as such?

The fedboys were moving around Occupy like they were engineering a coup in a poor brown country.

So orange boy made it official?

It’s McCarthyism 2.0, as American as apple pie

[–] bigfondue@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Considering Roy Cohn was Trump's mentor you could consider it a continuation of the original

[–] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Between this and the recent NSPM-7, the difference is the outward rhetorical combined with a directive of “pre-action”: stop these things before they commit crimes.

This changes the state of things into truly thought policing, not through unspoken, implicit societal norms, but with the authority and blunt force of the regime’s might.

It feels like we’re being fomented into a civil war while strategically weakening us on the global stage. It’s almost like the duty to the constitution & country has “left the chat.” I say “almost” because I have 3 kids and don’t want to be disappeared.

Yes. What was the name of that movie again... Anyhow this sort of shit has been quietly happening in many countries now, all at least partly inspired by the USA's "War on Terrorism".

[–] black0ut@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago

Minority Report is the name of the movie, for anyone curious.

[–] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Quietly because we were ashamed. Loud because now we’re proud of it.

I leave it to the public to judge which of those are better.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

The problem is not that he says it, but that he says it out loud.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago

So orange boy made it official?

Yes. Though others before him weren't exactly quiet about it either.

[–] Fyrnyx@kbin.melroy.org 17 points 1 day ago

Trump really was inspired by Hitler in every way, in a very unironic fashion.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Please do not struggle in the face of your certain demise

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 day ago

So...thought police?

You can and should care about more than one thing at a time. Don't let the Epstein files blind you to everything else happening
