“The FBI once raided communists, but now they raid those who criticize communists.”
No. They raid those who point the finger and scream ‘communist’ or ‘Marxist’ or ‘Socialist’ or ‘Jew’ or ‘Muslim’ without knowing SHIT about any of it. Except that it justifies violence.
“Principles do not matter in a war.”
Yeah, that’s how come there’s no such thing as a ‘war crime.’
And why every war, no side claims to be ‘the good guys.’
"The conservatives created an institution”
You think you created a weapon and dislike when it’s used against you.
YOu might want to think on that, just for a bit.
"The leftists took it over and use it to target the average conservative now”
Plenty of conservatives aren’t worried if the FBI goes through their email or their bomb-making workbench in the basement.
"We need to make our institutions immune to leftist centralization, no different from what the leftists do”
Again, if it’s bad when it’s used against you, why do you think it’s a good thing to use it on others?
