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.
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 stupidity.
Tell that to the Communist Control Act of 1954.
This whole fucking premise is based on
stupiditycontrol and power.FTFY
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.
That’s funny because Trump isn’t a capitalist. In an open market, his businesses fail. He needs government interferencey China style.
Capitalism =/= free market
And former eastern block =/= communism.
I obviously used the mainstream meaning of that word.
Fact is, Trump opposes free market capitalism because he’s a terrible business man.
I remember running around twenty years ago asking people (generally educated successful people) how they define capitalism.
Most people are not 100% sure, so they usually guess some form of market and blend it with consumerism.
My guess is that most of this came from Mikhail Gorbachev advertising for Pizza Hut.
“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”
Read the article
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?”
He may be dependent himself on public funding as much as Elon and the others, but, to be fair, so have all capitalists in history at some point in time or at some level.
Pure capitalism is just a wild fantasy that would require complete disregard of human rights and/or huge advancements and investments in technology with the energy expenditure that entices.
So yeah, capitalist has always been a swear word to me, but I see it used appropriately in this context and in general.
Okay, now it’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. With hints of Minority Report, Fahrenheit 451, Brazil, and our old friend Idiocracy, of course.
I used to scoff at the comparison to Idiocracy but at this point I’d actually prefer that timeline.
President Camacho cared about his people, recognized problems, and deferred to the knowledge of people he openly admitted were smarter than him to fix them.
I would much prefer a Camacho over a Trump right about now.

Every day I hope he gets Julius Caesar’d. Every day… disappointment.
I’m hoping for natural causes, tbh. If he’s actually killed I don’t even want to think about how much insane wanton violence the hardcore MAGA wing will commit in response.
Loooooong bout with locked-in syndrome. 🤞🤞
Beat down your local magats for subjecting us all to this
1984
New eyewitness photos, surreptitiously captured from inside The White House:
and the precog is just Trump in a bathtub full of Sudafed watching Fox News and Newsmax on repeat.
Just wait till he learns Ben Franklin socialized Fire Departments
I really hope we can reach a point where we don’t give this guy headlines.
“Trump declares that anybody that’s EVER made fun of him is currently being targeted by every international police force which he has command over, and also that the sky is purple” is a statement totally disconnected from reality. We DO NOT NEED an “Um, actually!” to disprove him.
Is he talking about the shit he’s doing with the farmers? That’s a far departure from capitalism. Lock him up.
