What do I need to hide about myself?

The Billionaires are a bunch of Degenerate Morons who diddle children, much as the ruling class has always been. They're funneling the world's wealth upwards thinking capital will insulate them from the coming climate crisis they're exasperating. How I wish I could be there when they realize that it won't.
Community organizers and vocal opposition are at the top of the list Palentir is making right now. Scrub your social media and start taking your data privacy seriously if you aren't already. Degoogle and take your opinions off Meta and Reddit at the very least.
They're going to test the waters by going after some brown protestors first, but the end game is all political opponents and uncontrolled opposition.
I think (and hope) that one key difference here is that the US is much more divided politically and culturally then Nazi Germany was. At least right now, there is no way the US declares a war of aggression against a former Ally and doesn't fall into Civil War. It will take a hell of a lot of internal suppression for that to change, the act of which will likely ignite the Civil War itself.
My hope is that the next few years will be less "What if the Nazi's controlled the most powerful nation in history?" and more "What if Francisco Franco controlled the most powerful nation is history?"
Europe and China likely have time to prepare, and they really fucking need to. If they're smart they're already covertly looking into ways to arm and fund internal opposition in America.
DS9 has always had edge. It's among the great works of Anti-Fascist media. Given the course history has taken since it aired, the show has aged like fine wine.
This made me look up the actual Predator code of Honor and I quote
"Unarmed and/or "innocent" beings may be hunted if they:
Are the specific objective of a hunt."
Sorry Op, you're still screwed.
Jaws is objectively the best choice anyway. Just drive inland.
Yep. And the most prominent fascist power that wasn't overthrown externally (Francoist Spain) lasted 40 years until it's demogogue died. The reason it wasn't a bigger problem for the world at large was that it was a politically isolated minor power.
The world hasn't yet seen something like an (openly) fascist modern USA.
No doubt something will go wrong. At all levels this administration is monstrously incompetent. They probably had Chatgpt plan the parade route.
The Fascism-to-Incontinence pipeline is real.
In general the entire series is mean-spirited. You can see the roots of Rowling's hate in how she describes any of the series antagonists.
No, it started with Reagan
No, it started with Nixon
No, it started with Prescott Bush
All of history is built on what came before. I think if we really want to get to the root of America's collapse, we have to look way back. Doing so, I can only conclude that the Agricultural Revolution was a mistake.

I do not mean to in anyway downplay how bad this is, or the danger this legislation presents to the American people, but I can't help but wonder how much is this budget increase is going to just be pure pork?
There is no doubt this agency will be riddled with corruption, much like the rest of this administration. How much of this budget will go towards lining the pockets of Republicans and their donors? Contractors who overcharge and under deliver. Leadership skimming from the top. Take a look at the state of the Russian Military for an idea for where this might go.
