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

    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

      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?!

        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.
