Watching The Fall, and the detective searching a suspect's house instructs her team, "We're looking for clues about his identity, personality, lifestyle". And then the pigs use that to build their case.

My bookshelf is a mess now, from this point of view. It's got Xi Jinping on it. What should I get to normie things up? Obama's biography? A U2 poster?

    lmao in such a scenario I'm not even sure they'd recognize I'm a communist. I have the 48 Laws of Power (it was a GIFT and people are always like 'oh i've always heard about that book is it good' and I smirk before opening it to a random page & read them a random sentence that is the chuddiest shit ever), Bill Clinton's autobiography, and the 2001 edition of 'Justices of the United States Supreme Court' on my bookshelf right beside Works of Eugene Debs' Vol I and State & Revolution.

      I’m willing to bet that a majority of Americans don’t have a single book in their homes so…

      Also I got 48 Laws of Power on my own when I was like 13, I deserve a decade in the gulag for that crime alone. It did not help me get a girlfriend.
