The Criminal Intent of Authoritarianism

Trump’s sudden attacks on poor and unhoused people in Washington DC, with his use of FBI agents and other Federal law enforcement officers is surprising in that it isn’t rooted in any emerging crisis that threatens elite interests. But past that it should surprise no one. This is what fascist governments do, manufacture a pretext for a takeover of one city, that will move on to other cities, and eventually highjacking our very lives our lives.

Trump will continue to use the national guard as much as possible as he edges ever closer to using the standing military against us. Boots on the ground in your neighborhood. They want us to get used to it, so when the time comes start murdering people we will go about our day in constant fear and pretending that everything is fine.

The National Guard in LA. The National Guard in DC. The National Guard in streets of your city. Then the Army under his command. In neighborhoods where brown, queer, and centers of resistance reside. They are already disappearing people off the streets. How long before they just massacre protestors?

What are you going to do about it? Standing in place isn’t an option.
