In order to combat the rise of the Socialist movement in America without committing to outright Jakarta levels of purging as the intelligence apparatus of the state is also slowly hollowing out alongside the rest of the government therefor can no longer field the needed manpower to suppress the popular movement swift enough without triggering blowback, therefore are funneling all of the most psychotic and the most far-gone members of the reactionary base through the prison system to get as many of them in direct contact with the imprisoned fascist elements and pressure the far-right in America to grow faster than it already organically was to combat the socialists more directly while having plausible deniability of supporting far right terrorists in America by appearing to "target and jail them" in the public eye

    I think Cold War 2.0 against China is their attempt at quashing the rise of leftism again.

    Red scare worked the first time.

    But fbi can just stall indefinitely via leftist infighting, fascism just is not profitable for the international bourgeoisie, and have not yet reached mass-politics level, where it can rule them

    the FBI has been recuperating their public image among liberals for the past four years. All the Mueller worship, the stupid governor kidnapping plot the FBI came up with themselves, jan 6th which I'm sure had heavy FBI involvement, it's all the same species of bullshit as the not-too-bright muslim kids the FBI has stitched up for "terrorism" when it was the feds who gave the kid the idea, invented access to explosives, etc. They get to look heroic to the stupid liberals who can't read past the bold headlines and those liberals will be very happy about new anti-extremist laws that the feds will use mostly on leftists.
