I refuse to believe those groups are terrorist organizations because the CIA has never armed them.

So, being pro-democracy means you are a Violent Extremist?

Republicans, at CPAC, loud and clear: "We are all domestic terrorists"

The FBI: "But whatabout antifa?"

Excuses to label you as a criminal so their overreach is justified.

Talk about double speak, being against fascists and racists means you’re terrorist now, LMAO.

FBI has long since been relabeled as the face of the cia, nsa and are the gen pop wranglers.

Call this shit the fuck out for what it is, an attack against Americans of ALL political backgrounds. This is a unified issue, they might only be banging on your neighbors door but you are next.

"Anti-fa" literally means anti-fascist. The allies storming the beaches of Normandy were "anti-fa." The only thing "anti-fa" wants these days is for cops to stop murdering them. Needless to say, I support that position.

Some idiot put that in the list for purely political reasons.

Protests are nice to look at, but they paint free targets on everyone who participates. Conservatism/fascism has never been defeated by pacifism.

If you are motivated to resist fascism/conservatism, arm yourself and train appropriately. Take classes, join left-leaning gun clubs, survival groups and prepper classes. Exercise and learn to fight.

Conservatives have been prepping for years for a war they insist is necessary. They have decided you are their enemy. You cannot change that by protesting.

Radical Centrism wins again

Oh no, what will we do if the FBI targets left-wing activists for insane reasons? They might give the J. Edgar Hoover Building a bad name.

And this is why we need to break the current command chain in domestic and foreign intelligence, we never actually banished the ghosts of the Kissinger days, just let them pick less noticeable successors that still hold the same basic world view.

"Eat the Rich" is now a symbol of extremism.....

That is extremely funny and extremely stupid at the same time. Honestly, after both of those conflicting feelings wore off, I am left in a state of confusion.

I mean, I get it. Just because phrases or symbols are used in extremist movements doesn't make the phrase or symbol exclusively extreme, with some exceptions. (Idiots will look at that "guidebook" and just leverage the FBI classification as a means to reinforce a bias, regardless of the context.)

For example, the Gadsden flag is a part of American history. However, it has also been hijacked for different causes. (I sarcastically see it in its original context as people still holding a grudge against the British, TBH.)

Oh... so the secret police of a fundamentally white supremacist empire that funds and enables fascist terrorism all over the damn planet doesn't like anti-fascists and anti-racists?

Gee... who coulda thunk it?

Explains why they coddle white Trump terrorists

"Stop resisting!"

Often repeated by terrorists appealing to their body cameras.

So starwars is now considered terrorism propaganda, ok

I said it back in 2001 when the war on terror started.

First it will be the "terrorist", then the "extremists", then it will be the "dissidents" and then finally the "undesirables".

Seems we are at the dissidents stage.

The idiots behind this shit really should have paid more attention in history class.

Sounds like something fascists would do.

So they are publicly claiming the agency to be fascist and racist?

If only they would finally arrest the president of Antifa, this would be unnecessary. Richard Antifa deserves to be held accountable!

TIL I'm a violent extremist.

I label FBI as a waste of space that should be deleted.

Man I love having to vote for people who label me a violent extremist. 10/10 government right there.

i found some symbols that represent the real domestic terrorists

To be fair, Senate Bill #4255:

To authorize dedicated domestic terrorism offices within the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to analyze and monitor domestic terrorist activity and require the Federal Government to take steps to prevent domestic terrorism.

They call out white nationalists quite a bit in the domestic terrorism bills.
