    This fat fuck

    Shortly after Hamas' October 7 attacks, he said in a social media post: "I would like every protesting communist scumbag to go to Gaza so the IDF can turn them into pink mist…"

    It's American propaganda version of North Korean justice, sure.

    Remember kids, Kim Jung Un's uncle was killed by an anti-air gun, resurrected, executed by trained dogs, resurrected, killed by hanging, resurrected, and then killed by firing dogs, and somehow resurrected with the most recent public appearance in 2023.

    Also North Korea, who had 20% of its population killed by bombs, and who had most of its farmland destroyed, some permanently destroyed by the US invaders deliberately totally sentences multiple generations of families to pointless labor camps hundreds of kilometers from farmland. Since they just have so much labor to waste and all and just have such an overpopulation issue they can afford to do that.

    The laws actually broken?

    Some vandalism and nonfatally shooting a cop who was drawing his gun to shoot at a nonviolent crowd.

    The former warrants minor fines at MOST (and is an ethically acceptable method of protest against fascism) and the latter is TEXTBOOK defense of self and others against imminent violence from an armed assailant belonging to a vicious gang known for killing with impunity.

    ... according to the State's expert witness, who doesn't have any academic background.

    Nor is he a weather expert, I suspect. But I digress.

    Shideler acknowledged he had authored an article on combating far-left extremism whose subtitle, a defense lawyer pointed out, was “A Roadmap for the Trump Administration.” It ran in The American Mind, a publication of the conservative Claremont Institute. He conceded his work isn’t peer-reviewed and rests on “open source research” — material one can “find on the internet” — which, he agreed, carries “both false information and true information.”

    Somehow, some way, Shideler ended up being the Justice Department’s expert witness to explain “Antifa” and the grave threat it poses.

    Has anybody here read the book Blood In My Eye by George Jackson? I saw someone recommend it in a comment I saw on another website. It seems relevant.

    Convicting people for being "anti-government terrorists" just because they identify as "anti-fascists", means that the Trump administration is openly admitting to being a fascist government.

    With that title don't you think this community would be more accurately titled "Fediverse disinfo"?

    How bad is a news article/title that I still have no idea what this thing is about? Is it meant to be news?
