There is no more common trope of communism than “children were ratting out their parents, and you weren’t allowed to speak out against the government.”
Meanwhile, this was at the top of r/News this morning:
I just don’t understand what anyone thinks, seeing this.
I guess everyone knows “this is like communism,” and it’s just a matter of whether you agree with it or not.
Two days after the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, Jackson Reffitt’s father, Guy W. Reffitt, returned to the family’s home in Texas. He told his son that he had stormed the Capitol, according to an F.B.I. affidavit.
Then his father leveled a threat: If Jackson, 18, reported him to the police, he would have no choice but to do his “duty” for his country and “do what he had to do.”
In interviews with investigators, Jackson Reffitt said his father told him: “If you turn me in, you’re a traitor. And you know what happens to traitors. Traitors get shot.”
But he had already reported his father to the F.B.I. weeks before the riot.
“He would always tell me that he’s going to do something big,” the younger Mr. Reffitt said in a phone interview on Saturday. “I assumed he was going to do something big, and I didn’t know what.”
Guy Reffitt’s wife told investigators after the riot that he was a member of the Three Percenters, a far-right militia group, according to the affidavit.
F.B.I. agents found an AR-15 rifle and a pistol at his home. The elder Mr. Reffitt told investigators that he had brought the pistol with him to Washington.
Great move.
I’m sure the cops themselves were patriots, who were probably in good with QAnon. (I’m serious – the cops they send to do this stuff are actual psychopaths, and they will start telling these guys they’re on their side and so on – “I met Q myself once, and he gave me this locket, so I would never forget what Tom Hanks has done to these children.”)
These fat morons have no one to speak out for them.
This guy is facing a serious enhancer for trespassing. He’s looking at 10 times the time for that one line, and he probably also confessed to going inside with malice and so on.
This man is nearly 50 years old and no one ever told him “yeah you know, the FBI, they can be a little shady sometimes, so usually people get a lawyer before talking to them about stuff.”
If you’re thinking “I’ll bet that kid is a little faggot,” then you would be correct.
The reason this is at the top of reddit is not because they are warning about communism. They are celebrating this little faggot as a hero.
They want this to be the norm.
Everyone knows “this is like communism.” It’s just that some people, apparently a lot of people, think it’s time to give communism another shot.
