caitlin speaks about tyranny; 

When you create a system where sociopathy is rewarded with wealth and where wealth equals power, you’re naturally going to find yourself being ruled by sociopaths.

Authoritarianism continues to surge under the western empire.

Ken Klippenstein has drawn attention to the fact that President Trump has signed a national security directive which expands federal power to “disrupt” individuals or groups which “foment political violence,” including “before they result in violent political acts.” 

The president’s memorandum states that such groups can be identified by “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.”

Meanwhile as Trump is falling all over himself to spin lefty vegans as a massive extremist threat, an Iraq War veteran just shot up a Mormon church and killed four people.

If you’re looking for institutions that radicalize Americans toward acts of terrorism, don’t look at mosques or Antifa or trans rights activists, look at the US military, because veterans of the US war machine are where a hugely disproportionate number of these extremist attacks are coming from........more..........
