It isn't a cope. They are pointing out the fact that the state has been used against the opposition multiple times in the past by authoritarians, by both the US (this goes beyond DT's gov too) and socialist governments (although they often use the term "reactionaries" instead).

Who did Obama sick the DOJ on? Who did Biden? How? Did his lackies at the FCC bully media companies, threaten to take them off the air for what their comedians did? What noblogs.org did they go after? Did they tell everyone the un-cities were violent overrun places that needed that national guard sent in? Did Obama's personal lawyer get to run the DOJ? The left/"socialists", generally, these days, seem to believe pre…

The article seems misleading implying it's due to the ""collective’s “far-left” politics"" which seem odd as far left isn't illegal.

If you look at the govt announcement it cites:

>multiple high-profile instances of breaking into defense infrastructure and British military installations, and causing millions of dollars’ worth of damage to military equipment. Palestine Action has promoted its violent, criminal, and terrorist acts on social media, encouraging the use of similar tactics internationally, including within the United States and along the U.S.-Mexican border.

and the like https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616

So it's breaking in and destroying stuff which is illegal, not the far left.

I think it is the reverse situation - the US government is a global terrorist. Canada noticed this too recently again, when the USA tried to sneakily put in abusive clauses that would take advantage of Canadians and put them as second class citizens in the new trade agreement. Trump acts as a mafia and now we know that "The Art of the Deal" is a mafia slogan.

“They are either the hero or the victim, but never the perpetrator.” - Narcissist ethos “Narcissism has more in common with self-hatred than with self-admiration.” - Christopher Lasch “The four core pillars of narcissism, as defined by clinical psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula, are a lack of empathy, grandiosity, a chronic sense of entitlement, and a constant need for admiration and validation” - America Psychology…

More dark triad because pure narcissicm misses the transactional behaviour and the psychopathy where a clear perception of reality is sometimes muddled.

    All three dark triad traits are believed to be conceptually distinct, although empirical evidence shows them to be overlapping. They are associated with a callous–manipulative interpersonal style.[8]

    Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy.[9]

    Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulativeness, indifference to morality, lack of empathy, and a calculated focus on self-interest.[10][11]

    Psychopathy is characterized by continuous antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callous and unemotional traits (CU),[12] and remorselessness.[13]

The problematic thing is the implication that holding a similar view automatically makes you a part of the same organization.

Terrorist groups are more traditionally defined as an organized groups that use terrorism as a military tactic to achieve their goals.

noblogs.org never used such tactics nor supported them.

If we call anyone a terrorist, if they have at least one view similar to those who did terrorist acts, we only need 2 quite specific terrorist acts to cover all earths population.

Right, so after already ramping up mass surveillance to the level of China [0], now the gap in freedom of political expression gap is also rapidly closing. Soon, there will be no gaps left, and it will just be worse in every single way imaginable. Until that day though, people will just keep pointing to those remaining gaps, one at a time. So that they can conveniently be taken away. If you're not American, and have…

Or do come and start something new. Something meaningful. Show us how to build things that don't hurt each other, because we appear to have forgotten.

And how would you fix it from the outside?

Besides, it's only capitalism of you take on investors. You can charge money to solve a problem without summoning the demon.
