A recently released document from the FBI indicates anti-fascists are as violent as those who would overthrow the U.S. government

A recently released Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) document titled “Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide”* links common protest symbols to “terrorism” — another marker in a common theme of conflating militant protest for social justice with deadly terrorist violence within the United States. Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Brennan Center have raised warnings about such documents, citing inadequate protections for people’s constitutional rights.

    Lol if you think the average American will stand up against oppression, it would mean they need to get up off the couch. Nevermind that as long as the TV news tells them everything is fine, they’ll agree.

      I cannot do anything about it but hope. I suspect it’ll be a network effect, where once some people start going through the motions, others may follow.

      Admittedly a bad example, but we saw the edge of this in hysterical form with the covid toilet paper fiasco. Should things get truly bad enough, not even the news systems will constrain us.

      while the average American might not, there are still 333m people.

      1% of those people resisting is 3m people. that’s more than enough to cause a headache
