So now it's just OK to seize private property of individuals without any even pretend due process?

Of course these individuals have links to their government, you think you can find some rich Americans who aren't somehow linked to their government?

And now we have american media platforms saying 'yeah, it's fine to call for death to Russians'.

Our response to this is getting pretty fucking scary. We need to start dialing this back or we become what we're supposedly against.

There are brazen calls for literal assassination of Russian leaders with hundreds of upvotes on Reddit,

but when a veteran soldier confronts a former US president for pulling pretty much the same shit, he gets dragged and thrown out:
