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.
That’s funny because Trump isn’t a capitalist. In an open market, his businesses fail. He needs government interferencey China style.
Are we starting to use the word “capitalist” the way the Nazis or Soviets used the word “socialist?” As a meaningless label for “the dictator’s side?”

Since when is there even such a thing as a “political crime”, let alone any kind of “pre-crime”?
You can’t criminalize someone’s political beliefs, unless you’re talking about making “thought crimes” a thing. And last time I checked “pre-crime” implies you haven’t actually committed any crimes yet…which makes you not actually guilty of anything.

This whole fucking premise is based on

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.
I hereby characterize MAGA as early dementia.
Not that early.
“classifies” as a crime?
What does that even mean?
He isn’t a lawmaker.
Basically providing a framework for who law enforcement should investigate as “suspicious”

What did I even just read? Is it a crime to budget or something?
