1. Unlimited government surveillance

  2. Unlimited power to ban leftist non-profits

  3. Banning leftist social media

  4. Sicing cops on students all over the country

  5. Giving $95 billion to fascist regimes all over the world

lmao this shit is nuts and an escalation of fascism we haven't seen since the early days after 9/11. After months of fear-mongering about the supposed takeover of all facets of government by MAGA fascists if Trump wins, the fuckin dems went and passed everything they warned us would pass if we didn't bend the knee and back Genocide Joe, I think most leftists (including me) are still too shell shocked at this early stage to realize the full implications of what we've just been hit with, seriously wtf

    Eh, I'm sure some will become reactionaries later in life, but there was a selfish reason to protest Vietnam in the draft. These students are risking a lot for purely selfless reasons or for their families in Palestine. Pessimism is usually pretty accurate in the imperial core, but I'm hopeful for the next generations
