    I don’t know that they’re going to worry about rounding people up. It’s enough for most people to make them too scared to think. Drone strike a protest on American soil and that’ll break the will of a lot of people. Of course, it will also embolden resistance, but then that’s exactly what he wants. If he can get the most serious resistors to huddle up where he can take them out with tactical units and scare the rest into hiding, he wins.

      There is no “he”, its a “them.”

      And FWIW, Trump is not even part of them. He is just a loud stooge distraction.

        People keep falling into the trap of thinking he’s the one doing any of this. He just wants money and fucking trophies. Yarvin and Thiel are taking advantage of the bullshit machine to built their techno feudal wet dream.
