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.
You make a decent point.
However, when I made this, my thought process was that they are arresting people for using their first amendment rights while peacefully protesting. Now, the regime is planning to arrest people for “pre-crime”. People will absolutely be arrested and charged as a domestic terrorist on the basis that they don’t like fascism (Antifa). It’s a lot like how they labeled people dangerous subversive communists during the second red scare.
But also, I think it’s preferable to litterally do crime against a fascist state then to comply.
