If you're on your deathbed, and looking back, you haven't been on at least one watch list, will you be able to say you have truly lived at all?
I'm left leaning, aka a "lib" and I'm a fan of things that are anti-capitalist.
I think capitalism has outlived it's usefulness, just like religion did when we created modern criminal forensics.
At this point, we have so much in excess that if we did things in a reasonable and logical way, nobody would be homeless, nobody would go hungry.
The people with the power (money) don't want things to change, because they get to stay in power that way. The only way to oust them is to overthrow the system.
Speaking of getting on lists!
They forgot the small amount of gravel.
Hint of styrofoam for added spice.
LOL
On a totally unrelated note, TM 31-201-1 page 78-82
Generic antiestablishmentarism isn't going to put you on a watchlist, this isn't the 1950s. Glowies have better tech nowadays.
If you wanna be on a list, start collecting old army field manuals. It's one thing to say "we should start fire bombing McDonald's," it's another thing to say "we should start fire bombing mcdonald's, and here's instructions on how to do it"
Not that we should be firebombong McDonald's lol I would never recommend that
But I would recommend reading TM 31-201-1, especially pages 78-82
Want to know how Luigi found what hotel Brian Thompson stayed at? It's right in his "manifesto." He used social engineering.
Social engineering is when you just take advantage of people's natural predilictions to give you info or access that you shouldn't have. For example, if he were to just call up UHC and ask them where the CEO was staying, they would likely just have called the police. Instead, he had to think of some plausible reason that someone might need that info through unofficial channels. I have no idea how he actually did it, but for example, Thompson was a famous womanizer who cheated on his wife. He was your standard sleazy executive scumbag. That can be exploited.
*Hi, CEO's office? I'm John Doe, an underling over at the CFO's office. My boss wants to give Brian a special surprise at this year's company meeting. We're thinking of hiring a few girls to come over and keep him company one evening. I need to know where to have them sent. I would send an email or look up the info in our records system, but, as you can understand, it's best if there's no paper trail. Can you let me know what hotel he's staying at?"
These social engineering methods are the same tools scammers use, but they work just as well for assassins.
I don't get lib as an insult. Seems like pretty much everyone on Lemmy is on liberal side of center. I've seen some hexbear users use it to refer to anyone who isn't as tankie as they are, but I don't get it.
This is the american bastardised version of the word, a liberal has more context then centrist.
The US uses lib to mean socially liberal, in opposition to the cons. The rest of the world uses it to mean fiscally liberal, as in support of not regulating capitalist markets, which is an anti worker position.
People often get pissy that a word can have more than one definition.
I didn't even know the second definition existed at all. Ty for sharing.
Given the number of Americans on here it's now starting to make sense why I keep seeing commenters get snagged on the word "liberal."
Liberals are not progressive. At least not except incidentally. I think that's true everywhere...?
Meanwhile im an American and spending so much time online with Europeans and internet leftists has resulted in my wife having to remind me not to insult libs at social events because people will think I'm talking about the left not capitalists.
I've also converted to metric which annoys everyone at work but they respect my reasoning too much to stop me
Progressive really isn't the catch all that people think it is. The existence of progressive conservative movements and self professed progressive christian Democrats in the past should be enough to prove that. It's a nice label to state the aspirations of your political ideology(and your results focused method) but not a way to describe your ideology.
One of America's most historically popular progressive politician who used government power to bust trusts and fight for "a fair deal", for example, was still an economic liberal, a conservative American exceptionalist and a warhawk.
And even more generally, Western liberal democracy which most flavors of anarchism and socialism view as a system that is neither based on securing liberty or particularly democratic.

That face...
"I'm a fucking child, why am I here saying shit you irresponsible fuckers should already know!?"
If you aren't being watched by at least 9 letters worth of government agencies, you're boring
If you’re not on several watchlists in 2024 you’re one of the bad guys.
NEEED MOArr LUIGI MEMES!!!! NOW PLLLLEEEEEZZZEEEE
Layla Moran on the left is a member of their Liberal Democrats and someone who police were called out to when they allegedly beat their partner over an IT issue.
Ed Milliband in the middle is a minister and former leader of the Labour party. Maybe not the biggest leftie but enabled members to vote for their leader which paved the way for Jeremy Corbyn to win.
Based on the above two points, this feels to be quite badly labeled if you know who they are.
Was curious if the background! What's with Greta's wide eye face?
Rolf Harris just been announced as a special guest.
