They’re purging not only members of org but individual and group who are leftists. Also words from a sub member I mod, said they’re mass banning Illinois leftist subs and suspended all mod accounts to suppress spreading news that Gestapo is raiding in Chicago. Also deployed in PDX.

    Holy shit.

    To all the liberals who say trump isn’t a fascist. Fuck you. Social-fascist traitors.

    And good luck and stay safe, Amerikan comrades. 💜

      Especially since it doesn’t distinguish between which extreme. (yes I know it’s implied anything leftish but as written Charlie Kirk could be taken out by it)

    Seems like a pretext for setting off a civil war.

    I don’t want to sound hyperbolic but the plain truth is that NSPM-7 is a declaration of war on anyone who does not support the Trump administration and its agenda. Yes, it repeats the word “violent” over and over to purport only to go after citizens who are moved to take up arms, but it also directs monitoring and intelligence collection to map and target the new “evildoers,” to borrow a Bush label he took from the Bible just days after 9/11.

    The partisan focus couldn’t be more obvious.

    Or I suppose just a pretext to crack down on opposition, period.

    But the end result may be civil war because this is so broad, it can encompass anyone and everyone. It’s basically a blueprint for a Christo-Fascist, white supremacist ethno-state.

    If shit hits the fan, just know that I’m glad I came here. I got to learn and find some comfort in the declining empire. You know, sometimes when I’m at the store and I’m feeling down, I’ll see a little kid, smiling about who knows what and it boosts my mood right up. They’re so precious and fascinated by everything, and so vulnerable and in need of care. A reminder of what it’s all about. I try to keep in view that’s who we’re fighting for, the ones who are most in need. Not as moral panic or patronizing proclamation, but as real material aid.

    The oppressor would like for you to think they’re good and wholesome. That they care about family. While they separate migrant children from their parents, bomb family lines out of existence in other countries, and let their own people die in poverty. They are, and have always been, frauds. And the mask is gradually being thrown out and grinded into paste.

    Something something Fascism was never really defeated and “Stalin didn’t go far enough”. Praying is useless but I’m still going to wish my American comrades (and all the people not in the Trump designated main group) safe and good luck in resistance and organizing.

      It is easier to ask for political asylum in Russia. China is great to visit and they are very open to tourism but it is much harder to become a permanent resident there. Russia seems more open to taking people in who feel rejected by the West. For instance i recently read that a whistleblower who was forced to flee the US after accusing Biden of sexual assault and then getting wind that the FBI were about to arrest her and put her on a sham trial just got citizenship in Russia after being in exile there for a few years now.

    This really is the final straw for me. I have no friends in the rural, conservative area I live, no political groups that align with me, social anxiety, and now a list like this is going around. I’ve never owned a gun before, but it’s not an option anymore. Safety was always an illusion, but that’s over now.

      I’m in a similar situation, and am currently looking at getting a gun as well; the anxiety has gotten so bad I hardly feel safe even stepping out of my house anymore. Wishing you the best, stay safe comrade. ✊ ❤️

    They do so through a variety of fora, including anonymous chat forums, in-person meetings, social media, and even educational institutions.

      A Kwame lecture popped up on YT last night (I wasn’t logged in so I’ve lost details) and the one thing that stuck with me besides anti LGBT rhetoric was that motivation means nothing without organization and that’s why hard won rights during the 60s movements did not stick, and we have less rights today (I’m pretty sure this lecture was a couple of decades ago, too).

    Welp. That’s my cue to delete reddit once and for all.

    Can someone share that anonymizing tool that people use to scramble all their old reddit comments before deletion?

            I’m pessimistic about organizing modern prisons.

            This isn’t the 20th century. Organizing in prisons was possible in the past because they could never hire enough guards to listen to every conversation or watch every corner, but with surveillance tech they actually can. They could feed all prison cameras and microphones into an LLM and then go after anyone who scores too low on their Good Behavior score.

              Digitizing and incorporating that infrastructure into every aspect of this supposed “future” prison into each cell with staff would have an equal amount of draw-backs. It would quite literally be easier, cheaper and more efficient to firing-wall people than ever do that. Prison already suffer from chronic under-funding, under-staffing, morale and psyche issues as it is; even the most well-staffed/federal ones.

                It really wouldn’t be that expensive to have a couple cameras and microphone in every cell and in all the public spaces, and then to feed the data from those cells to an algorithm to detect wrongthink. In fact, why not force every prisoner to wear their own camera and microphone? Understaffing, morale, and psyche issues are completely sidestepped by this technology.

                As for funding, since they can give even more money to their friends in the tech industry I don’t think it’ll be a problem.

                  that expensive to have a couple cameras and microphone in every cell and in all the public spaces

                  They sort of already do this, though. Federal, at least.

                  Understaffing, morale, and psyche issues are completely sidestepped by this technology.

                  How? If even just one thing goes wrong, the technology could be entirely side-stepped by someone who is savvy enough. In climate disasters or general upheaval from the outside could side-step as well. It’d still need staff one way or another.

                  You seem to forget the other half of the ruling class are religious fundamentalists who are a couple decades away from a full on death-cult.
