    I sincerely believe that everyone that goes on a database like this is going to get rounded up in a Pinochet-style crackdown and mass murder of any resisters when shit hits the fan. There is absolutely no other possible reason for this kind of list building. They are preparing.

        These libs think they’re immune or something. What ICE are currently doing to their list of minorities they will do to whoever is on their list of domestic terrorists too.

        If the resistance is non-violent now and ineffective, it will remain just as ineffective when they start grabbing these liberals.

        The roundups performed against them will look exactly the same as the roundups currently being performed against migrants.

          At least some of them are waking up and getting strapped. Looking forward to getting this gun guide project going and help radicalizing baby-lefts learn how to defend themselves

            Are they really going to resist when they come for them or are they going to see scary men at the door and submit because it’s scary and the magic courts will surely save them (they won’t get to a court) ?

            I suspect they’re going to put up as much resistance as the migrants that are getting kidnapped, which is maybe attempting to run away but otherwise not being a huge problem.

              Some will, some won’t. It will only take a handful of the ones that shoot back before things start to change quickly.

              I’m not going to pretend to be a psychologist so I don’t understand how at a certain point we don’t start fighting for our lives like every other cornered animal that senses danger. At some point even the libbiest of libs has to realize if you get in that van there’s a good chance you’re never coming home, right?

          It’s sad and scary, but necessary, imo. Despite being leftists, a lot of us are still laboring under the naivety (and a touch of white supremacy) that it couldn’t happen to us, we live in a civilized society. And that’s bullshit, they’ll come for us when they think they can get away with it. And the fact of the matter is, that they’ve always just been working their way down the list of marginalized folk until they get to us.

  • This might be a bluff. Not saying that this isn’t a potential case of him accidentally leaking something, but piggies lie all the damn time about what they can do, what your legal situation is, what they know etc. Pigs can’t put you on a watchlist just by looking at you on the street. Even when they have a list like this, they at the very least need to ID you to put you on it and i’m not sure from the vid this actually has happened. There’s a mention of him putting information down, but it’s unclear if he actually has her name or not.

      This specific situation may be a bluff but if the goons have cameras and people’s faces are not covered, it would be pretty trivial to use even just open source facial recognition software if you have access to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc data.

      Everyone likes to dunk on Palantir because it’s basically the enterprise software grift but for the deep state. However, this stuff is technically trivial so long as you have access to social media data, and because AmeriKKKans are addicted to they phones that’s not a big leap of reason to expect for the country that gave birth to snowden
