Get the “ but we’re liberals 🤓” joke out now.

Obviously we’re very far left and vocal about being anti establishment, some things I’ve seen posted here, whilst I won’t admit I agree with :) are pretty sus from a feds perspective. If the site was raided and if people were subject to arrests, what do you think they would be charged with? We’re obviously on a list of course but the same can be said about all people tbh so I don’t really care about that, but since the political sphere in the US is becoming more mask off fash from both parties especially the drump comment about “enemy within” what do you think the future is? Also what crime is committed exactly? Might be a weird example but places like Georgia are racially targeting rappers by using their lyrics as evidence that they have committed crimes, couldn’t something similar happen here on this space? Does anyone have any examples of what the crime committed would be exactly or does it fall under freeze-peach.

I think it’s already been alarming for years but even more so with the multitude of arrests of people in support of Palestine including students who were just present at protests. I’ve seen people on here say we have to be organized etc in order for feds to take an initiative, but who knows exactly.

I just wanna know what crime and what jail I’ll be sent to if it all comes to that

I'm pretty sure I'm on multiple lists. Hexbear would just be another one to add to the pile. This list includes:

  • Looking at a copy of the Anarchist's Cookbook from my local library.
  • Downloading songs off Napster/Limewire
  • Downloading and reading the Unibomber manifesto
  • Buying all three volumes of Kapital and the Communist Manifesto.
  • Owning a Koran
  • Relatives involved in local gangs
  • Association with drug addicts
  • Relatives who are Feds (I know...ew)
  • Basic understanding of how to make a nuclear bomb
  • Basic knowledge of making chemical weapons (like nerve gas)

I'm sure there's more. Those are just the ones I can think of when younger me was a dumbass thinking a firewall was as much security you would ever need back in 2005.

Damn. I just remembered that Bush and Friends tried to get librarians to keep lists of who checked out political books.
