Leftism

Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!
Rules:
- Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
- Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
- Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
- No brocialism/sexism
- No ableism
- No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
- No racism
- No trolling
- No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
- No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
- Mods have final say
Posting Expectations:
- Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
- Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
- Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
- Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
- Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
- Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
- Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

what the actual fuck. isn't this borderline entrapment? how is this legal in any way possible?? actual police actually grooming a literal child, just to arrest him for doing the things they literally groomed him to do! holy shit this is unbelievable
Entrapment only happens to people who can afford good lawyers.
It's totally entrapment.
The victims usually don't have the capacity to mount a sufficient legal defense.
In you remember Kellyanne Conway's Bowling Green Massacre the incident that was based on was similar. FBI gaslighted three refugee inmigrants in order to get them to aid and abet a fictional terror plot so they could be charged with terrorism, so that FBI could assert it was stopping terrorism.
FBI creates a dozen such cases every year, specifically targetting vulnerable people with mental health problems or who are clinically retarded. They end up with really long prison sentences.
FYI this took place in Australia.
That's SOP for a large percentage of FBI terrorism investigations that DON'T begin after an attack.
Whenever you read "FBI foiled plot", dig into it and you'll probably find similar behavior, or a CI who intentionally molded the terrorist for them.
This took place in Australia, so no FBI.
Well, shit.That's on me for not googling the story.
Luckily for me, the AFP is basically a junior FBI in regards to their aspirational goals of running a police state on behalf of the Aussie elite and Liberal party donor class.
NSW anti-terror police aren't far behind either, even if their brand of shitfuckery is a bit petty relative to the AFP, or FBI.
That's literally the definition of entrapment.
