This might concern me if I could feel anything anymore

my favorite part of all of this is all the liberal whinging about places like China really hinges on the belief that you have free speech here but not there and now we're all gonna get locked up for social media posts and shit. wow if I'm gonna have the authoritarianism it'd be nice to have the pro worker policy and constant improvement to society!

Hmm this really does seem like the opening salvo in a MAJOR escalation that goes beyond mere words or pandering to the base and sets the groundwork for uh not great things.

The Trump administration isn’t only targeting organizations or groups but even individuals and “entities” whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following “indica” (indicators) of violence:

• anti-Americanism,
• anti-capitalism,
• anti-Christianity,
• support for the overthrow of the United States Government,
• extremism on migration,
• extremism on race,
• extremism on gender
• hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,
• hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and
• hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.

Breaking this down a bit:

• extremism on migration,

Clearly to go after anyone against deportations, ICE, etc. Even someone just working the policy and judicial angle as say a lawyer who never attends protests would be a dangerous indicator of terrorism under this.

• extremism on race,

I have to wonder for some of these if it's entirely up to the discretion of the cops doing the work or if there's additional (secret) guidance defining these because on the surface this would certainly seem to suggest support for BLM or anything they deem "anti-white"

• extremism on gender

As with above I have to wonder if there's additional secret guidance on the meaning of this one. Obviously trans rights activists (including any trans person who isn't constantly denouncing their own existence I presume) would fall under this as would any feminists who are for abortion, are against the traditional 1950s Christian Protestant views on family, etc, etc.

The last three in the list are especially broad, vague, and therefore worrying but seem to reinforce the above and remove doubts about what extremism on race and gender are.

Between the Antifa order and this, it seems like things are picking up steam.

I wish I was around people who at least cared, much less noticed, and weren't Rightists. They'll just think I'm exaggerating and paranoid as usual. It'll probably be time to leave the country soon, guess we'll see how this goes late 2025 and early 2026.

Stay safe, Comrades.

Unrelated, but kinda related. I went back and listened to some early Chapo because it's been years since I've listened. They were seriously debating whether Trump was a fascist or not. I had totally forgotten about that debate in the Discourse ^TM^. It seems like all the doomsayers were right but they called it too early. That means the second Jan 6 will probably not be as funny. First as farce, then as tragedy.

Must be their attempt to detain U.S. citizens without trial or due process, if not now, in the future. Preventive prosecution.

Sounds like it’s going to be like 1950’s America again but without the economic prosperity

My pronouns are now patriot and christian

• extremism on migration,

• extremism on race,

• extremism on gender

they gonna lock maga up?

anti-Christian

Good; show him the videos of Israelis spitting on, insulting and attacking Christians; also show him the videos of Israelis insulting Jesus

I didn't think Trump would be the president who'd declare Israel a terror state and yet here we are!

NSPM-7 is fundamentally a law enforcement directive, and it dispenses with the complications of using the active duty military or the National Guard in pursuit of political violence. It directs the Department of Justice to focus the FBI’s approximately 200 Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs) to the new mission. The FBI network of task forces comprises over 4,000 members—including FBI personnel and task force officers (or TFOs) from more than 500 state and local agencies and 50 federal agencies, including special agents, police officers, intelligence analysts and surveillance technicians. First established in New York City in 1980 to systematize FBI and NYPD cooperation, today there are task forces around the country, including at least one in each of the FBI’s 55 field offices.

Well there's the reason he's attacking Comey and the January 6 fbi agents right now. He's terrorising them to scare anyone that might drag their feet on this.

The highest stage of imperialism is itching to start a big war right following steps out of falling apart ass department of war books, not just at home.

Kind of looking like all signs are pointing to Trump being the american fascist with this. I know Norman Finkelstein disagrees because he claims there's no left in the USA, and while I partially agree, like there's no mass working class movement, I can't see this as anything but a pre-emptive strike on any fomenting movements.
