The article critiques the Department of Justice’s approach to identifying domestic terrorists, highlighting its focus on ideologies rather than actual crimes. It argues that the DOJ targets people based on their beliefs related to immigration, gender identity, and anti-american sentiment. According to the article, terms like “opposition to law enforcement” and “radical gender ideology” are framed to criminalize dissent against systemic injustices and marginalized identities. It suggests that this memo is a tool of the regime to suppress any opposition to enforced Christian values, capitalism, and the oppression of nonwhite populations.
While the memo claims to focus on violence inspired by these ideologies, it hypocritically maintains that anti-fascist sentiments are central to domestic terrorism. As such, it prepares the ground for surveillance and harassment of those opposing the prevailing regime. The piece asserts that, although overt trials for dissent may not occur, the government will likely find or fabricate charges to target those with opposing views. The author stresses that this framework represents a serious effort by the regime towards repression, framing it as a move towards fascism and totalitarianism.
