that's what a call a straw-man. NSPM-7 exists and is providing funding and direction for LEOs to target ideologically leftist organizations as tame as BLM or 50501 [0]

this, in combination with the rise of Flock, Clearview, Axon, and other mass-surveillance programs is leading us down an incredibly dark and Orwellian state - something that feels almost ludicrous given how anti-Big-Brother your average person is

It’s mesmerizing to see how easy it has been to transform the USA into what was decried China to become about 5 years ago.

You see some form of resistance (the guy that was caught with a truck full of cut Flock cameras) but it seems the population is resigned.
