    Don’t go into the comments. Yankistanis love defend these kind of selective “freedumb peach” violation with a lot of mental gymnastics.

    Fascism is now completely in the open and anti-fascism is being suppressed. These are very dangerous times for us all. I am not sure if even explaining which side I support would be a crime anymore.

      Your fear of freely speaking is the point.
      This sentence won’t hold up on appeal, but it will serve to scare anyone who wants to exercise any first amendment rights.
      I think the next logical step for the judge to be impeached or recalled or however that works.

      Also was there no jury?

    So, having Mozilla auto dump my browser history every time it closes is now, potentially, a crime?

    This is the most fucked up thing I’ve read in a while. Old pamphlets, irrelevant to the protest are moved. But because they share political ideology with someone who shot someone it’s guilt by association??? I can’t even fully wrap my brain around that concept. How does a jury even get there?

    I haven’t seen printed stacks like that since college, in the 90s. Just how old was the printed material?

    Same recipe as ever, since the Haymarket affair and the lois scélérates and probably before that. Create violence, instil public fear, use an incident as pretext to round up people, label them guilty of terrorism by political association, let the complicit press and the biased judges do the rest… Humanity will not be happy until the last capitalist has been hanged with the guts of the last tyrant.

      Frankly if arguing with a tankie online caused you to give up on democracy you probably wouldn’t be able to offer much in opposition to a fascist regime.

          No I am not delusional.

          You on the other hand think there is a significant amount of communists (no tankies anymore, are they all authoritarian?) in the US.

          Hopefully you 're of agreeable race and gender to the neonazis, otherwise they will shoot you anyways.

      If your ideal is different from everyone’s then maybe it’s not a good vision? I mean, generally, when people say “I know what’s best for you” they usually don’t.
