The FBI’s domestic terrorism watchlist is set to double in the coming months, according to journalist Ken Klippenstein, who has been reporting on President Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum titled “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,” also known as NSPM-7. The memo identifies potential domestic terrorists as someone expressing “anti-Christian,” “anti-capitalism” or “anti-American” views. Democratic Congressmember Ro Khanna responded on X, writing, “Trump’s NSPM-7 represses freedom of speech & association, investigating any organization with 'anti-capitalism' or 'anti-American' views. I ran a primary in 2003 against the Patriot Act and war in Iraq. NSPM-7 is a greater infringement on freedoms than the Patriot Act.”

Capitalism is evil and this government should be disbanded and everyone running it should be in prison at minimum.

Local domestic amateurs! MAGA is global terrorism, it's big, biggest ever terrorism like never seen before. Could be bigger but is big.

It’s a malignant cancer spreading around the world

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 23 points 2 hours ago

Come and get me Big Brother lmao

Fuck capitalism, fuck the government, and fuck Donald Trump.

I'll scream for guillotines and billionaire cuisine through my dying breath.

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 14 points 2 hours ago

Welp, lets just get this out there. Christian Nationalists are a blight on the world. Capitalism is designed to keep you oppressed and should be abolished. America has been a shithole for a couple years now but its been on the decline for decades. America #1 is propaganda drilled into kids brains to keep them loyal to a broken system.
Guess im a terrorist now.

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Cool. This will be challenging as unconditional by the end of next week, the challenge will be correct and then this administration can go fuck itself all over again.

It’s a shame the tax payers are funding this moronic horseshit. Fuck Trump. Fuck MAGA.

SCROTUS will let him do it because he's king

Like, just the thoughts?

He will use this to arrest Mamdani, mark my words. AOC and Sanders too. And any other democratic socialist, basically.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 16 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

views

Not any sort of action, but merely holding those views. Are we entering thought-crime territory now?

[–] schema@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Surely, the self proclaimed "free-speech absolutist" conservatives will be outraged. Any second now...

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

we've been in thought-crime territory for over a decade now

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 27 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

anti-American

Oops, the Republican party is now officially all domestic terrorists. Hopefully they're rounded up quickly.

[–] incompetent@programming.dev 3 points 1 hour ago

They admitted it at CPAC:

Did a CPAC Banner Say, 'We Are All Domestic Terrorists'?

Yes.

[–] RedGreenBlue@lemmy.zip 51 points 7 hours ago

This is from the dictators handbook. Make everyone guilty so you can pick up anyone you like, whenever you like.

Fuck Jesus. Fuck working 60 hours a week for minimum wage. The USA can eat my asshole.

Come get me, bitch.

This is the funniest shit I've read all day. Godspeed, you savage pork chop!

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 hours ago

Wow your god must be very omnipotent and strong if you need to use petty laws to enforce his greatness.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 52 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

On what fucking grounds? I love how in america today nothing has to make sense and no one even feels the need to argue in favor of nonsensical views. They just state them as fact and get emotional about them if challenged.

It's "terrorism" to wish for a better society if that view of society conflicts with the current economic system. What a fucked up joke of a world. I guess this is an accidental admission that we're an oligarchy, since you're seen as an existential threat if your views would make the 1% less rich.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 19 points 7 hours ago

Well. Good luck finding such an organization.

Sounds like an excuse to torture and kill indiscriminately until no one opposes them.

Which has worked well for Russia and China?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 4 hours ago

Consume, citizen.

The fact that NSPM-7 wasn’t THE headline since it was signed on September 25th is an utterly damning indictment of our media and what they focus on. There have been a multitude of things since then that are also utterly damning indictments of our media, but NSPM-7 was like, the whole fucking game. It’s saying “I’m gonna paint with a broad brush and tell the FBI and other DHS orgs and internal security bullshit to surveil and persecute people I don’t like, and whose ideas I don’t like”.

So much for keeping the republic.

Fuck

This is actually really really bad...

[–] fort_burp@feddit.nl 11 points 7 hours ago

Imagine if Facebook existed during the Red Scare.

"You liked a meme 8 years ago that someone posted in a group. There was a Communist in that group, so off to the gulag with you!"

dusts off hands "We are much better than those authoritarian Communists."

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

This? Like everything up to just before this was ok?

Yes. You are fucked.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

The first nation the Nazis invaded was Germany.

The second was Austria.

Good luck on that "you" lol

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

I am keenly aware.

By being corrupt, pro-facism, pro-racism, and apparently a felon, don himself is anti-american.

RECORDING: "We're sorry. The American experiment is currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please leave a message after teh BEEP and we'll get back to you as soon as someone is around who still knows how answering machines work.

BEEEEEP

"Uh...hi. yeah...guys. So hey. Yeah....Canada here. I couldn't help but notice what's been going on downstairs from us. and well, I'm sorry to have to say this, but you're kind of freaking out your neighbours. So, if you could...you know...actually DO SOMETHING aboot it, that'd be great. Okay, bye bye."

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 15 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Trump really wants a civil war?

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 4 points 4 hours ago

He isn't smart enough to understand that it strips away the civility that protected him.

[–] derry@midwest.social 14 points 7 hours ago

Yes. Well just a war. So he can declare "marshal" law. And keep power. Forever.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

The American people would have to actually stand up for themselves for a civil war to start.

Atheists are now terrorists

Man, every day I commit another crime I didn't know I was committing

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 48 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

They use to use "Godless" as a slur. I guess they can't anymore because they also want to punish people who don't believe in a god the same way they do.

Both words have impossible definitions.

While Capitalism is essentially Oligarchist, Capital, Corporatist supremacism in modern definition/understanding, Adam Smith presented an ideal of free and fair markets leading to "perfect competition", essentially guaranteeing a fair return on capital instead of supremacist extortion power.

America as symbol of freedom and melting pot, would consider it anti-american to gaslight fascism and genocide as "America". Are other war and anti-human values, really American values?

NSPM-7's "anti Christian" edicts is also worthless, in that Zionazi supremacism has become Christofascist gaslighting of Christians. "Do onto others as you would like done onto you" (best interpretation is humanist freedom rather than a hierarchical charity empire) is a direct contradiction of supremacist fascism/pride.

Of course, the purpose of vague edicts is to kill/emprison/disenfranchise those who Charlie Kirk/Trump would want killed/emprisoned. Criticizing unfair monopoly power strengthening, fascism, or war or Trump is a violation.

shoe's on the other foot now, I guess

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 37 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Well, antifascist, anticapitalist, anti-colonialist, atheist, pro-trans, I guess I would be arrested right at the border at the land of the free. Good luck with the pedo-dictatorship USA.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago

Here's a horrible fact, almost every dictatorship in history has been a pedo dictatorship.

Authoritarianism and pedophillia seem to go hand in hand, but because the pedo dictator almost always focuses on teenagers, this aspect of authoritarianism tends to go under reported.

Yay, freedom of religion and speech! /s
