Perhaps the most amusing thing about that little commentary is that you substitute "right" for "left" and you'd have the perfect summary of the last four years of US rule. The tools remain the same, it's just who's using them changes. Even more amusing is your idea is that Trump did anything for the real people than Biden may or may not and that he wasn't perhaps the zenith of the "ruling class" as it's been seen over the last several decades.DEADPOOL wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 12:46 pmThey can dress it up whichever way they like, these are secret police they are talking about. State controlled policing. If you disagree with the party line, you are de-facto an enemy of the state. In a democratic society, the law and policing are disconnected from the state deliberately, it is a fundamental tenet of democracy.MingtheMerciless wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 4:15 pm FBI Bod on Radio 4 today said that they have a a whole dept setup for internal terrorism and they think attacks are highly likely after Biden takes office. Apparently they have no specific law for dealing with home grown terrorists!
There are plenty of examples of where the state employs a secret police force or Stasi. None of them are places you'd want to live. China, Russia, North Korea, places like that. This is one of the reasons the conservative right wing are so annoyed about what the left are doing with the aid of big tech. Anyone with even the merest grasp of political history saw this coming. We have seen it before.
Every single trick the left has pulled and are about to implement has been used before to prop up a single party state. They sincerely believe they know best and therefore, you have to do as they say for your own benefit.
I flagged this some time ago because in the developed world, this will most likely lead to a civil war. Too many people fundamentally disagree with Marxism/communism and because at least (!) half the country voted against it. Those are REAL people who disagree and not an anonymous ballot of invisible postal voters.
These are not mere peasants to be toyed with by the ruling class. No matter how hard the state/big tech gang up to defund, deplatform or censor the right wing, the USA is too big to fall.
Meanwhile, the democrats have had to side with so many lunatic left wing extremists that in-party fighting will be the order of the day. Biden is a feeble minded weak old man; a hollow man. He will not be able to control his own party or the elements within it. There are also clear indications his family are deeply involved financially with the CCP. That in itself is an extraordinarily dangerous situation with the rise of China but coupled with in-party fighting will lead to chaos.
As for your last paragraph, that's possibly the most hilarious of the lot.
