Honestly, the FBI has been doing brainworms shit for decades. This is way worse now obviously but lets not retcon the former legitimacy of the FBI. It is NOT there to keep us safe and it never has been. The FBI always has been a tool of oppression for the rightwing.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Trans friends, this is the time to consider doing what you need to to protect yourselves. I would be looking at what it takes to emigrate somewhere safer.

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 20 points 1 day ago

It is time for us all to step the fuck up and protect trans people, ESPECIALLY if you yourself aren't trans.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's also the time for allies to step up and organize. This is everyone's battle for rights and trans people can't be left to fight it on their own.

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Organizing is the biggest issue, IMO. I don't have much experience with humanity in person. I was raised in a isolated rural territory, and don't have enough money to explore third spaces for likeminded folks about the situation. Figuring out HOW to network is a huge issue if you aren't connected enough to society.

What churches align with justice? Which coffee shops embrace freedom? Among the militias, whom among them are antifa?

While I am practicing a firearm with the expectation of someday serving as a ReUnion soldier against the NeoConfederates, I don't know how to bridge the gap between being an lone individual and part of a Rainbow Panther militia.

OR Americans can decide to protect fellow Americans who are simply existing which YOUR government has decided is a crime.

Because it's already started. First the immigrants, now the transgenders, and soon depending on who or what you are you'll eventually be next.

Because make no mistake unless you're a right wing white straight christian male in the 1% they WILL eventually come for you.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 126 points 2 days ago

All because a white Republican shot another white Republican.

[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago

Never let a crisis go to waste.

[-] SayJess 22 points 1 day ago

Where is this leading to? Camps? Is that really going to happen?

[-] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago

Yes.

They already built the camps, and are building more. You didn't think they were all for "immigrants" did you? ICE has a yearly budget of about 37 billion dollars. There's no way they would need that much funding if they were only deporting people in the country illegally. This has always been about persecuting minorities.

First they came for the illegal immigrants.

Then they came for the trans community.

They've already started canceling anyone speaking out against them and will target their political opponents. We're well into the Nazi consolidation of power phase of the takeover.

[-] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

ICE is planned to get 200B this year

[-] brem@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Nah. I have bolt cutters and I ain't a bitch.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 98 points 2 days ago

That’s funny. I’ve been defining the FBI and the current administration as embodying “Nihilistic Violent Extremism” as “criminal conduct… in furtherance of political, social, or religious goals that derive primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos.”

Weird, right?

[-] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 49 points 2 days ago

I’m a terrorist? Because of what I did to my body?

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

You monster! That body is the property of Christian fascism now.

[-] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

They’re gonna kill it and then say that it was a suicide.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Unless it gets pregnant. Then it can get fucked for all they care.

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 10 points 2 days ago

Clearly! Hopefully you'll be driven away!

To Canada, Portugal, or maybe Malta. Which apparently all have very strong protections for transgender folks. Malta apparently combines that with no murders of trans persons from 2008-2022.

(Stay safe please)

[-] XTL@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Interesting. Malta being a very Catholic country, I would not have guessed it being ahead. It is tiny, though, and there isn't much employment. But a really lovely little rock. English speaking and with fantastic history. Yes, I may have considered moving there once.

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 4 points 1 day ago

Gender identity is constitutionally protected there! I wouldn't have guessed it either, I found out about it when I was researching options on places to move.

Being told you're a nihilistically violent extremist that should be locked up sure sounds like an impetus to, i dunno, have no hope for the future and in turn be more receptive to extremist actions, even violent ones, no?

[-] drkt@scribe.disroot.org 86 points 2 days ago

That's the point.

If you can push a minority group into desperation, then you get to play the moral high ground when they act out of desperation. It's not a new trick by any means.

[-] Instigate@aussie.zone 40 points 2 days ago

It’s been Israel’s playbook against Palestine for a very, very long time.

[-] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 days ago

Nah, even if the minority group doesn't do anything, "yes they are. They're being evil and doing evil things just over there where you're not looking, and that's why bad things are happening to you. The only way to stop them is to give me power."

[-] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That's the label they use for mass shooters when they can't be racially blamed in case you didn't know. White school shooters are NVEs. They are trying to legitimize the "trans people are school shooters" absurdity they have created out of thin air by making a syllogism - and being able to treat them as terrorists in the process. Which in US law basically means you have no rights

[-] flandish@lemmy.world 52 points 2 days ago

and then they’ll parallel push for removal of passports for these groups. then they’ll push to make passports required for voting….

fucking nazis. all of them.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And if you don't have a passport they'll arrest you and send you to a camp for undocumented people. If you try to escape they'll arrest you and send you to a camp. The only way through is active, organized resistance and defense in large numbers.

[-] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

They want you to be able to show a birth certificate with a matching name as your id which actually rules out many trans people and the majority of married women.

Every accusation is an admission.

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Dear trans comrades from the US, arm yourselves and organize if you have the means to. I'd say get out of there but that's probably much more difficult. 😔

[-] satanmat@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

My dearest friends, I second this.

Exercise your second amendment rights. Be prepared.

And in every way possible; please protect yourselves.

<3

[-] CubitOom@infosec.pub 29 points 2 days ago

So if trans people become members of the satanic temple, then would they still be nihilists?

[-] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 20 points 2 days ago

I categorize the FBI as the Nazi Gestapo.

[-] brem@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Cash Hotel, a fuck-eyed dickhead claims that... [Insert Russian propaganda here]

[-] PedroMaldonado@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

That is messed up. These guys have just given up on humanity and just want to punch down. Fucked.

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago

Who put this dumbass fox in charge of watching the hen house?

[-] brax@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

American voters when they elected one to run their country.

[-] Marshezezz 2 points 1 day ago

They should be beaten in the streets

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

How can nihilistic people also be steeped in a "trans ideology" that they want to force on everyone?

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago

Nazis aren't big on verbal accuracy or logical consistency. They are big on keeping everyone arguing while they ramp up the machinery for disappearing people.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I mean agreed on all points but I still like to point out how fucking ridiculous it is.
