Trump: Major consideration is being given to naming ANTIFA an “ORGANIZATION OF TERROR.”
- Thread starter fluffydelusions
- Start date
I am frequently reminded in this climate that Germany is not only a historical example to look at, but almost a blueprint that time is repeating for us, in real time. Criticism towards the extreme form of conservative government is being seen as a threat to public wellbeing. Make dissent against a particular type of government and its tyrannical wishes one that is seen as particularly "hostile" and akin to a terrorist organization.
He's not alone in this, for Ted Cruz proposed a bill that aims to do the same thing, complete with the wiggle room that people even argued to be affiliated with Anifa are as much a danger too. You can connect anything with them if they're anti-fascist, anti-racist, and anti-Trump, which is the point.
His plan is to muddy the waters about his own supporters who are committing literal acts of terror in his name. As I keep saying, he goes to work each day with nobody around him who got him there and goes "...what am I supposed to be doing right now? How can I keep in the news? I'll.... buy Greenland? I'll... designate a Antifa a terrorist organization? Please, somebody tell me what I'm supposed to do right now..."

It's really damn scary to watch happen in real time. Everyone I talk to thinks it's not an issue and the problem will go away when he does but it wont.
To anyone interested in an example of how fascism consumes a progressive nation I highly recommend watching "How societies turn cruel" by Three Arrows.
Is Sargon of Akkad a guest in this video or is it about him? Because I find it hard to believe that Sargon has anything meaningful to say about fascism that isn't "isn't it awesome".
It's a "counter argument" to the crap Sargon usually spews on his channel. It just uses his outrage at the criticism of the border camps as an example of how the extreme views are escalating. As they have in Germany post WW1 with their views on immigrants.
It's pretty commonplace in societies with far right wing power to have these paramilitary organizations do this type of shit. Imperial Japan also had the same right wing terror issue that would drape themselves in the country's flags and not get properly punished.
I think society collectively forgot how these things proliferate because no one ever lived through these movements to learn what is currently going on

I always wondered how on Earth people could have let Hitler "happen". The terrible truth is that a large chunk of the human population are ignorant, hateful, easily manipulated and cruel.
This will not happen right? Congress can block it or executive directive is enough to ban them?
Even those people had the ignorance of history on their side. We've already seen this shit happen before, which shows how willfully ignorant people are.

Like it does now, but more directionless.
Unless an intelligent Trump pops up and we're fucked

Yes he is horribly transparent to everyone that does watch Faux News.
The US didn't fight WW2 to fight fascism and Nazism, they just didn't want another country getting stronger and taking over the world.
This is genuinely terrifying. Even the very notion, the remote discussion, of the United States federal government taking steps to label people who are opposed to fascism as terrorists, let alone in the midst of genuine, regularly occurring terror attacks from far-right, white nationalist terrorists with zero action being taken.
This shit happens in steps, and a step has been taken today.

How many people have been maimed or killed by Antifa vs. how many have been maimed or killed by Trump supporters?
To bad it's not an organization. There's no president, not local chapters, no nothing. Just a bunch of people who decide to protest fascism when it shows up. If anything they should be labeled a hero organization. But then again, it's not an organization like say the Proud Boys, the KKK, and the hundreds of other white nationalist racist organizations in the US today that actually promote domestic terror.
So, real talk, If you read Trump's tweets in the voice of Cobra Commander, it all makes perfect sense...
It's going to be interesting to see the doctored figures on Fox News claiming Antifa has claimed thousands of lives. I think they pretty much HAVE to make up fake news for this at this point, because if you cite Antifa as a terrorist organization and admit they have zero casualties, I think even conservatives might question that logic.
I've had enough. The battle lines have been drawn and the coded language and dog whistles have given way to explicit and overt taking of sides.
It's on all you Americans now. Fix it. Politically if possible, but other measures are in play if required.
Enough talk. Enough "woe is me". Yes we study history to make sure the mistakes of the past aren't repeated, but it counts for nothing if you observe the signs and don't head it off at the pass.
Fucking fix it.
