The ruling class is PISSED that their Israel narrative was challenged. Thats why they’re going hard against any sort of narrative they don’t have complete and total control over. Even lukewarm shit like TikTok being considered a threat because the genocide of Palestinians got visible.

So here is an event that has given them a fucking gift-wrapped narrative for them. Clunky as it is for them to suddenly condemn all forms of violence while having a history of war and current genocide ties, they will push this “violent extremism is dividing our country” talk in order to excuse state violence against any form of protest of the status quo. It’s going to be the 9/11 “security” increase on steroids. 9/11 was used as an excuse to normalise the end of privacy, since then we saw massive adoption of CCTV and mass servailence.

I dunno exactly what forms of oppression they’re about to try and put forward, but I’m hoping the sheer hypocrisy of the Dems funding genocide and suddenly standing with Trump after calling him a threat to democracy will be enough to light a fire under people’s asses. However history shows that Westerners are very quick to accept whatever their masters give them.
