Looks like the imperial boomerang is getting closer and closer to finishing its return trajectory.

They really going for setting up the military shooting leftists at protests legally.

[-] Drithvan@hexbear.net 54 points 2 days ago

Why else do you think they would label "ANTIFA" a terrorist org?

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 37 points 2 days ago

Yep exactly. I mean if I was an activist I would just stop referring to anything I do as “antifa” or anything affiliated with me as “antifa” and just keep doing it, as it’s not an actual organization and doesn’t really matter.

[-] Drithvan@hexbear.net 50 points 2 days ago

The thing is, "antifa" is a blanket term used by reactionaries to describe any kind of left-wing thought or opposition. So by branding "antifa" as a terrorist organization, it gives them the power to persecute any kind of left-wing thought if they desire. So just think of this as the third red scare, I suppose.

But what can I say, I'm not John Antifa an-tifa

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 15 points 2 days ago

Yeah but I feel like you still are going to have to prove that these people are antifa if you’re going to kill them on US soil. I feel like there will be SOME kind of push back at that point, right?

I mean liberals will HAVE to see that they need to actually do SOMETHING at that point, right?

RIGHT?!

[-] Drithvan@hexbear.net 55 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I'll just leave this here.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

What kind of pushback?

Liberals with guns taking to the streets? Storming the government offices?

The government can label what they're doing as legal. Then they can do it. And there isn't a single thing you can do about it without guns and people willing to use them.

This is the thing with liberals, they thing all the systems are sensible and that can't ever happen but the reality is that the people with guns make the laws and if you don't like them well then you need guns to destroy them so you can make your own laws instead. All political power grows from the barrel of a gun.

I would simply not be murdered by jackbooted brownshirts

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago

oh my god, that's actually their answer michael-laugh

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 21 points 2 days ago

Yeah my plan for defeating fascism has always involved learning to defend myself and owning guns. It also heavily involves not letting goof clowns come under the ridiculous assumption that it would be easy or safe to try and murder me.

at that point it's too late. you're either with them or against them and it's survival time

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Right, but then they'd kill activists anyway and classify them as 'suspected terrorists'; they've done this for decades abroad and at least Republicans will be cheering, and libs who are too cowardly to criticize the military (most of them) won't stand up for activists

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
