What is this from? This sounds like it is written by AI and not even proofread.
I swear this whole administration is vibe-coded.
"including Anarchists and Anti-Fascists"...so straight up admitting that they are the target of anti-fascist groups. Aaaaaand what does that make them? Could it be....fascist?

If it makes you feel any better, AI is great at pattern recognition and will be able to cross-link &/or deanonymize any user that has posted even a relatively small amount of text.
Humans have a very limited and specific vocabulary (stylometry) even without regionalisms. Just don't believe anything you say online will stay anonymous, because it won't... Unless you use a local AI to process everything you write with a different persona (e.g. pirate, yarr).
fuck_u_spez_in_particular@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 107d
I'd be interested in this, do you have sources (also ideally to test this myself)?
WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 106d
Here's a general primer https://programminghistorian.org/en/lessons/introduction-to-stylometry-with-python
It's ultimately just statistics, and AI is far better than humans at finding patterns in massive data sets. They are perfectly suited to stylometry. The more text they have of a given user, the higher the probability of cross-referencing against identified users (Facebook, Twitter, etc).
Even if you never post publicly, the problem is western governments have been engaging in dragnet mass surveillance for decades, which means the US gov — probably many govs, especially your own — almost certainly have every text message, email, etc you've ever written; all are transmitted unencrypted. This means the US, and likely your own gov, have the highest probability of deanon-ing you. They also have the highest budgets ace access to perform such a task.
Again, it's only a matter of time until 99% of "anonymous" accounts, above a certain word count, are cross-referenced; likely only a few thousand words. I suspect they could already do 99% of accounts above 10 or 20k words.

While this is just the next phase of fascism we all expected, and as incompetent as the FBI has become, no one should doubt that this is a dangerous escalation. I haven’t been able to fly for almost 20yrs because of “alleged” ties to ALF/ELF during the terror panic that birthed Homeland Security post-9/11. That was when the modern surveillance state was just getting rolling.

Hey, he got the Georgia ballots, so I'm fairly sure the next step is to "find" 11,780 that were never counted and declare himself the true winner of 2020.
Ergo he would've been elected for a third-consecutive term in 2024, so he should be ineligible and everything he's done since null-and-void? I guess? I dunno where they are going with this except to write the history books in their favor.

What's so disturbing to me is that all the conspiracy theory nutballs I've known, the ones who...
are hardcore preppers who said the economy was due to collapse into a post-apocalyptic dystopia anytime a Dem is in the white house
kept talking about the FEMA death camps at former railway hubs with barbed wire fences pointing inwards
think black helicopters are running urban pacification drills in cities
keep being up giant fields being leased by the govt to store nothing but thousands of plastic coffins
never shut up about "jackboot" "police states" during the entirety of Obama and Biden terms
They were all either hardcore right-wingers or simple "never trust the govt" types who suddenly started wearing maga hats
MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip · 8 pts · 107d
They are not necessarily against those things in principle, even within their own country. They just don't want to be the targets of it. Probably some, whether they are being honest with themselves for the reason or not, are wrapping themselves in MAGA for safety, then convincing themselves it's the Good Side by accepting the propaganda.
Which is neither to excuse any other group for accepting propaganda nor to assert Both Sides in any way.

I really hate how media gladly reused this label.
Antifa, pronounced ant-tea-fuh, allowed it to be disconnected from the actual words it was shortened from, and then used as a boogieman.
We all know there is no central antifa command center, headquarters, or organization. We are "antifa" because we are anti fascism.
As you say, you can label yourself, but you can also label yourself by your enemies.
The anti-fascists are Trump's enemies, therefore...

For the sake of history, its worth noting that it wasn't the left taking the non-violent options off the table. Just saying. When you see this happen, consider it in the context of something like the war in Iran. When the administration does things like this, they do so without a plan and without consideration for the consequences.

If you haven't already, I would start talking to your neighbors and organizing.
We already know the camps exist, and if you've seen some of the images that have been leaked you'll know the conditions are inhumane and cruel. These new labels can be applied to anyone, for any reason. And make no mistake, you don't even have to be in left-wing spaces to be accused and disappeared. So it's not just you in danger, it's everybody around you. It's your co-workers, your family, your friends. All it takes is a wrong place, wrong time.
Organize now, before you don't have that option anymore.

Recently had a WWII vet visit my parish. Dude was over 100 years old and was in town for a Pearl Harbor commemoration. He told me that he was among the first group of Allied soldiers to fly over Europe after the surrender and he described seeing people trying to make a life among the rubble of their towns and cities. He then compared this to what he was seeing in Gaza and started to lament the US' support of Israel and how he saw clear connections to what is going on there and what he witnessed in Europe. You're absolutely right, there are now too few living who remember...

I actually know a few "lefties" that thought guns are stupid killing machines and nobody should have them years ago. After the first trump administration they all took an about face and are now pro gun and think we should all be armed. Our government should live in fear of us. They are there to serve and protect us, and we are the ones feeding them to make it possible. Instead they take our money and give socialism to their billionaire buddies corporations or send it to Israel or bomb random countries. We should not live in fear of our authoritarian regime, it's time to turn the tables. Don't tread on our freedom 🇺🇸 and don't tread on sovereign nations because u want their resources.

There'd be a lot less snooty mcshoot face and a lot more mutual aid. Thats just what people tend to do when faced with extreme hardship.

Thank god you get it! Just in case there is genuine worry:
I certainly meant it as over-the-top satire, and I thought about adding the obligatory /s at the end. But by that point, I figured if it wasn’t known it wouldn’t help anyways lol
I’d also like to point out that the horrible things I satirized are, in a more real way, happening in varying degrees of severity. The President is not well, and his administration has successfully weaponized incompetence to make the concepts being satirized possible. Thankfully, of course, the terrorists are indeed not everywhere, they seem to be highly localized in Washington DC.
Sadly, in comparison to the stuff The President of the United States posts to social media, I think it’s rather sane.

I guess they'll be beating down the doors of the Antifa headquarters that don't exist any day then?

As the national founder of antichomo I figure my days are numbered but glad to see I'm only on the list for most of my beliefs and activities.

Then we can't make things worse by burning the White House to the fucking ground.

I long for the good old days when terrorists were the easily identified FOB European settlers

I lost track of how many times he's classifed Antifa as a terror group.

At what point does the benefit outweigh the risk of driving around with your flak jacket and 3D printed piece? When do you make the switch from locked away and secret to always ready?
