the big secret is that Democrats and Republicans are both on the political right and the mainstream media is owned by billionaires.

I mean, more than half. Almost everyone on the Left thinks Democrats share blame with Republicans even if Republicans are MORE to blame.

Technically the Freikorps would be more akin to groups like the Proudboys or Oathkeeprs. The analogy for ICE/Homeland Security agents/Federalized National Guard would be Gestapo.

TikTok is owned by the Chinese and they have strong anti-protest biases.

In a strictly hypothetical situation, you left out “slicing the pie”

Specifically in authoritarian or totalitarian regimes since Senior officers both have a lot to lose financially if the regime falls and typically are as guilty as the people they serve.

Any reason he could give is fabricated. Also, Portland in particular is more than just the usual “collapsing the Republic into a fascist dictatorship” thing he has going on. He’s still butthurt about Portland from 2020.

Yeah, but the news and a variety of websites go out of their way to either pretend there are no protests in Portland or to mischaracterize them. You need a back up plan for getting news to the people if you want the optics to reflect the truth.

Unsurprising that a guy collapsing the Republic into a fascist dictatorship says that TikTok should be a mouthpiece for the Government. It’s time for someone in a country that ISN’T the US, Russia, or China to start a TikTok rival for people to switch to.

Good for them. Learning to defy the powers that be when they try to normalize immoral/unethical beliefs is a mark of becoming a responsible adult; something lacking in University Administrations apparently.

Didn’t Jesus walk the holy land convincing god’s chosen people to break their covenant with god? Sounds like Jesus was the Anti-Christ

Step 1: be an early adopter of new tech

Step 2: get insanely lucky

Step 3: use capital to hoard more capital

Step4: start an evil corporation to privatize spying and intelligence gathering

If I went around telling people Greta Turmberg was the anti christ…they’d lock me away

Have you heard of MAGA? Not sure they wouldn’t take you seriously.

Cops “rarely face consequences” (direct quote from my comment)

*Cites rare instance cop faced consequences

Technically, the 2A is primarily for when foreign armies invade and secondarily for when other Amendments fail.

“Law Enforcement” in the US does things they’re not authorized to do all the time and rarely face consequences. That fuck who murdered George Floyd was SHOCKED when he got arrested for it.

The idea is that they’re not put in a position to play favorites or make enemies with their neighbors.

Police in the US do lots of things that are against the law without consequences.

Most cops are sadists or ok with other cops being sadists. The ones that aren’t don’t last long in that environment before they quit or get training accidented.
