Yes, they will do whatever it takes to suppress anything that resembles a, "populist" uprising. The horrific miscarriage of justice for J6 protestors and rioters is a great example for that.

Never, in my life, did I imagine that our government would systematically prosecute every day people who made the mistake of believing that they had a right to free speech and protest. Many of them went over the line. Most did not.

But that doesn't matter. In one example, an FBI raid found a model of the Capitol in a suspect's home. This, of course, was offered as proof that they had nefarious intentions. Civil society has all but turned a blind eye to them even on the right.

If you don't think that can happen to you, or to any movement that you agree with, I have news for you. The J6'ers are the canary in the coal mine. We are failing them and we are failing ourselves.

Equal justice under the law my ass. Fuck these authoritarian assholes and fuck anyone who passively agrees with what they are doing.
