In Major Shift, Trump Admin Prioritizes Fight Against ‘Left-Wing Terror’ Over Islamic Extremism

This is frighteningly correct, if you ain’t got a piece get one, a shotgun is probably best for most.
The one thing that give me hope is how big and dispersed the US is overall. There’s no physical way for the government or really any entity to quell uprisings or enforce “right think” there just ain’t enough manpower even if you bring in all law enforcement down to the municipal level. My suspicion is they believe they can use “AI” and drone surveillance to fill that big gap.
It’s a gamble on their part which reeks of desperation, but it might work. It may come down to whether or not Palantir is actually competent and no one does anything direct to stop them in time(this does include a general strike not just a Luigi)
My suspicion is they believe they can use “AI” and drone surveillance to fill that big gap.
I think you’re right about this, and the extra $350 Billion they’re trying to get right now for the “pentagon to fight communism domestically” is actually for rapid R&D and deployment of additional spy apparatus.
Be aware it’s not just Palantir. There are like half a dozen new companies popping up each week as part of the military industrial complex that are chasing this money to further violate our rights and erode our societal foundations. Stay vigilant friend.
They also just suspended the DOD's cyber maturity model which evaluates contractors and their ability to safeguard classified information, all with the intent of bringing in all kinds of defense startups without vetting their security. It's all part of the plan for venture capitalist extremists to collapse the United States and rebuild as network state monarchies.
yes yes yes thank you!
more people need to know that billionaires are literally conducting an open coup to destabilize the US government.
they want to make Galts Gulch real, a libertarian fever dream cooked up by narcissistic egomaniacs.
Wish it wasn't too little too late, but it's nice to see someone familiar with The Network State manifesto and not just blaming Evil Foreigners for everything
Who are you planning on shooting?
The police? Your neighbors? The Army?
It sounds like you learned your survival skills from a bad video game.
If it gets to the point where left wing people are genuinely being rounded up, and there are no other options left, then being armed at worst lets us make the round up more costly in a last stand, or hopefully if there has been enough community building beforehand, helps us more effectively prevent a round up from occurring..
It would also help for a French resistance or Irish Troubles style long-term push-back.
I don't know that they're going to worry about rounding people up. It's enough for most people to make them too scared to think. Drone strike a protest on American soil and that'll break the will of a lot of people. Of course, it will also embolden resistance, but then that's exactly what he wants. If he can get the most serious resistors to huddle up where he can take them out with tactical units and scare the rest into hiding, he wins.
If someone tries to arrest me or someone I care about and throw them in jail for a belief they hold or something they said then yes I will go down shooting whoever is trying to.
Sounds like you get your self esteem from being condescending on the internet
Have a bad day!
This is a really unusual position to take.
As a husband and father the idea of committing suicide-by-ICE on ideological grounds is an absurd proposition.
Obviously there will always be more opportunities to secure better outcomes for the people I care about if I'm not dead.
See the bootlicker engaging in its namesake behavior.
It ain't about surviving.
Yeah that’s a bunch pf terminally online leftists here LARPing militia badasses and it’s almost laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic.
Nothing to do with being too online or military larping. They're already killing innocent people in the streets with impunity. Escalation isn't going to make that any better. Being armed isn't going to stop them either. It isn't about stopping them. It's about making it cost them. It's your choice if you want to be kidnapped, beaten, starved, and even killed peacefully. Its shameful that its gotten this far even. Personally, if they're going to do that to me, I'd like to make it hard for them.
You and I are both getting downvoted to oblivion, which kind of proves the point.
His numbers are tanking at home over his handling of
Does it matter?
Seems like he has enough support to cling to power, especially given that lackluster opposition.
I won't comment on that either way, but just stock up on everything you need now because shit may get crazy. I reallllly hope it doesn't, but every step they've taken is communicating they're not simply going to let themselves be democratically removed from power.
Clearly another fascist plot to silence dissent. Sometimes the truth sounds like an outrageous conspiracy theory.
A government of the morons, by the morons, for the morons.
Actual terrorism - rare. The manufactured fear of potential terror - plenty. These scary transgender people who wanna invade women's bathrooms and molest children. The scary brown people who might be drug cartel gang members. The scary black people who might be druggies, muggers, and welfare thieves. The scary Asian people who may eat unimaginable foods and develop diseases to spread to nice clean white Americans. The scary educated people who protest against censorship of global points of view. The scary women who compete with men and make those poor men feel so insecure about themselves.
Fascism
Because the parasitic kid-fuckers know if they don't start eliminating the competition they are getting voted out next election and then going to fucking prison.
That is as long as the Dems remember we do not want olive branches, reaching across the aisle, or compromise AT ALL. Fuck to Pedo Party.
Expectations: They arrest the literal far-left that lurks the internet threatening to "take down the government" and making literal death threats (if you've never stumbled upon one, I envy you)
Reality: they arrest Mamdani, Sanders, AOC and also any centre-right liberal they can't win an election against
EDIT: (Rubio) "They can call themselves anti-capitalist or anti-imperialist, communist, anarchist or Marxist,” Rubio said, according The Guardian. “It’s always the same. It is a poisonous resentment cloaked in the language of equality and justice liberation — an overwhelming need to tear down, to wreck, what is beautiful and what is right on behalf of people who are only filled with ugliness and have nothing else to offer the world through violence and through terror.”
Rubio's gonna shut down Lemmy ML. Finally. 😂
If they start arresting their competition, and we don’t get violent, it’s over. They win.
You wouldn’t just stand idle and watch as someone put you in chains.
You’d fight to stop them and/or escape.
We are all standing idle and watching our democracy fall.
I’m antifascist as fuck. Fuck Trump. Fuck everyone in his admin they are all traitors and need to be in prison.
I agree, FOXTROT DELTA TANGO
in prison
FLAYED
What a surprise, they're moving into the final phase right before the midterms...
Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.
White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
Well I'm only two of those things so jokes on them!
Always. MAGAs are afraid of EVERYTHING.
Fear is the conservative mindset. It is why they're so full of bluster and always, always have scapegoats to aim their fear and anger toward.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/...
https://insight.bibliotech.us/...
And on and on...
Currently they are afraid of losing the midterm elections and getting investigated and impeached. Jail comes after for some.
It never has in the past. We always mouth some platitudes about moving forward and abandon all concepts of accountability. America has always championed lack of accountability by default. Unless its about brown or poor people, those people get the book thrown at them by default.

Why would he? Dems would make pious noises about "moving forward", "bringing the country together", and "reaching across the aisle".
1 MILLION PERCENT because Democrats are KNOWN to Hold Rich People ACCOUNTABLE INSTEAD of Letting them do Whatever they Want! That's why Trump ended up in PRISON after STEALING TOP SECRET Documents!
When have they ever gone after Trump with a meaningful amount of energy? They didn't even try when he committed treason.
I would too, but I know next time they get one, they'll find some excuse to not go after Trump and his minions.
We could barely arrest all the Nazis after WW2. We let some work for the government, NATO, and West Germany.
If we couldn't stop the literal Nazis who organized the industrialized massacre of millions, because they knew good rockets and how to slow the USSR, we can't stop Trump when he makes American companies richer.
Everything looks left wing when you're so far right you're trying to dig through the overton window further right.
That's not a major shift. That's just the primary goal of fascism.
Yeah, and can't believe I had to scroll to literally the bottom of the thread to read this
If you DONT want a Data Center in your Backyard you're a LEFT WING TERRORIST!
-People wondering why Far Left Politicians keep WINNING!
Well they can’t arrest us all right?…right?
They certainly will, and they will do it one by one like they do now. Everyone will stand there and watch it happen while recording on their phone. If we dont work together we'll be picked off one by one. Wolves dont eat an entire herd in one sitting.
Agreed we all need to organize and have a plan.
When they get bored of jailing us, they'll have us dig mass graves to bury us in.
They've been funding, training, arming, supporting and fostering extremist Sunni Islamist militias to fight their proxy wars since Reagan. It never stopped. The jihadis kamikaze tactics and ability to manipulate basic idiots to blow themselves up have been devastating on the battlefield. He lavishes praise on the former al-qaeda leader that is now the president of Syria.
So yeah it doesn't surprise me.
This was litigated 8 decades ago, they lost.
The US has been on the losing side of every armed conflict they’ve been involved in since. Their current leadership believes that streak is at least twice as long.
Left-Wing
Here they come!

Islam was a target of convenience. His numbers are tanking at home over his handling of; well everything. So now he has an enemy of necessity. Everyone that wants to hold him accountable. This is going to get ugly folks. Arm yourselves and be ready. Be ungovernable. Because they plan to govern you out of existence.
