[A]lso after Charlie Kirk’s death, the Heritage Foundation twisted data to claim that “50% of all major (non-gang-related) school shootings since 2015 have involved or likely involved transgender ideology.” That was in an effort to get the FBI to create a new domestic terror threat category for “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Extremism.”
How much longer until they decide to just round up the transgender people with the Gestapo ICE? It’s getting scary for transgender people.
“Cash Bounties” seems to be the GOP go-to in a country that’s increasingly impoverished and facing mounting inflation in cost-of-living. Quite literally paying one half of the poor to kill the other half.
Folks kick around “when does the US Civil War start?” both in jest and in anxiety. But we’re getting into real Fugitive Slave Act territory with this kind of policy. Between ICE Agents racing around to hit deportation quotas and anti-Abortion Bounty Hunters getting introduced across the Gulf Coast, we really are barrelling towards the AnCap privatized police force meme.
When Nazis came to power in Germany, many people attacked the Jews not because they were antisemitic, but because the state gave them tacit permission to rob and loot and Jewish homes and businesses. Due to the hard economic times, most average people were desperate
That and it’s a way to get around regulations that prevent police from acting. See Texas and abortion bounties, thank you supreme court
Threatening people into turning in their neighbors is some NK bullshit. Paying people to rat on them is just the next evolution of capitalism.
Authoritarians love a snitch society. Imagine the worst asshold in an HOA, and now give them power to ruin your life.
No thanks.
It’s pretty unoriginal. They’re following the Nazis playbook.
And I’m pretty sure the Nazis were following someone else’s playbook, I just can’t be bothered to go look at the list of historical assholes
It was ours…the really loved the hate in the US.
Sure, but I’m pretty sure the playbook goes back to the dawn of civilization.
Maybe we’ll be able to bet on the bounty futures via CNN, make even more money hoss!!
