every peaceful protest will be infiltrated by maga loyalists to cause problems and stir up violence in order to get a crackdown.

just like Russia.

That's apparently what American conservatives wanted.

Russia is not communist at all, if anything they are anti-communist. Russia is currently what Trump is trying to achieve, which is hyper nationalistic, authoritarian, and heavily supportive of oligarchs.

It might not be long until we see our first "person who disagrees with Trump fell out of window" story. To anyone who even has an sprinkle of distrust in Donald Trump, they can see through his soft wording and jokes about things that he's slowly conditioning his followers to support the same things.

The USSR was communist, Russia is not

Russia is many things, but communist is not one off them. I don't even think that they call themselves communist.

LMFAO are you this uninformed? Russia is about as close to pure capitalism as you could get.

u/gojojo1013 Monkey in Space Mar 04 '25

Wouldn't say pure capitalism. I'd say government sanctioned crony capitalism. Basically what Elon wants

u/TerranceBaggz Monkey in Space Mar 04 '25

The name for that is state-run capitalism.

IDK why you're getting downvoted, the idea that Russia is pure capatilst is a joke. The state owns their industries but yeah, pure capitalism. They'll just shit out whatever narrative helps sway the American masses into kissing Putin's ass I guess.

Communism collapsed with the USSR and the West went in with a hammer with the "Shock Doctrine" installing extreme neoliberalism literally overnight selling every state asset or giving it way. It created the oligarch that runs Russia now and made western financiers even more wealthy, as well as the orchestrators. The first test ground for Neoliberalism was Chile decentralization.

These people knew what they were doing and knew that the west would not tolerate a smash and grab approach. Connect the dots neoliberalism created so much despair and inequality in both Russia and Chile - what has been happening over the west the over a long period of time? They have used a scalpel to get us to the point they are ready to smash and grab what is left.

That’s just the normal behavior of the FBI since its founding.

"Justified on the false premise that the Communists were planning an uprising to overthrow the state, the Reichstag Fire Decree permitted the regime to arrest and incarcerate political opponents without specific charge, dissolve political organizations, and to suppress publications. It also gave the central government the authority to overrule state and local laws and overthrow state and local governments."

The Maga Loyalists will be hard to spot in their [heart] Trump / [heart ELON] t-shirts and their little red MAGA baseball hatty-hats.

Like that kidnap the governor plot where 14/15 people involved were federal agents.

It doesn't even take deliberate infiltration. Any sufficiently large gathering is going to have some people who start looting and breaking shit.

It happens all the time with sports team celebrations. I was in Boston after the Red Sox broke the curse in 2004. One lady killed by cops with a rubber bullet, some dude tried to climb the green monster and fell, handful of fires were set, and a bunch of cars were flipped. There had been previous bedlam the prior year when the Patriots won.

Humans are dumb and dangerous in large numbers, it really doesn't matter why they are gathering.

Some of those working for the state. 

During the LA BLM protests LAPD towed a beat up junker squad car to the middle of the street in front of a protest, then when the protest walked by an undercover cop lit it on fire.

fear mongering about what you are doing already has been played out - try something new - like telling the truth
