Fascist governments will always find ways to imprison dissenters, this is just one way they do so -- they've been treating those trying to track ICE agents as if they are "violent extremists"

What's to stop this fascist government from defining criticism against them as violent extremism? Because that is what they are trying to do. That is always what fascists do. Just following laws won't keep us safe. Laws do not align with morality.

by "extreme violence" they mean speaking against ICE btw

If you're openly advocating for extreme violence in a public place, you're an idiot

You gonna let this loser talk about you like that, Kash?

their "domestic terrorism" is mapping ICE and Flock Cameras

Real talk, that's why even though I'm like double VPN'd I'm not going to say https://youtu.be/KivCRqfFcqY openly. Or that capitalism is inherently evil.

yes like they can gather all the instance admins around the globe, and then finally get the IP of my exit proxy

If you’re privately advocating for it when you haven’t done the harder activism first there’s also room for introspection

(Try and probably find there’s too much policy/community work to have time to think about violence)

The problem with this stance is the line in the sand is always moving. It's either violence now or violence later. Or maybe you just hope that it won't come to that for you.
