Their interest in understanding us ends at the end of their whip.

Then its a question of how real is the Whip? Or the arm wielding it?

This isn’t Heydrich or Beria , it’s just mean girls.

Mostly they can threaten social media likes.

Outside of Progressive dominated career fields where they might get you in trouble or fired - what?

Their greatest harm is within their own fields if they are in media or academia. Especially Media.

The extreme tail cases like Trump or J6, or the RTL arrests- most are out fast but they are only indicting and prosecuting very few, convicting fewer. This isn’t just incompetent repression, its sporadic and erratic repression.

Normally incompetent and ineffective repression is the worst choice, they have found worse yet; Erratic and Eccentric Repression.

They need to be arresting millions and imprisoning hundreds of thousands at least, they aren’t and probably can’t.

The sporadic and rare arrests compared to the defiant are the prosecutors they can scrape up and whatever dumb or compromised FBI dupes ...

It isn’t enough.

Ineffective Repression is just filling people with rage and contempt.

If you want to be Stalin be Stalin.

But to reach for Tyrant and fail to grasp Tyranny...

They want to arrest millions. They need another excuse. They want the indictments and arrests to be as infuriating as possible. That’s why they were so gleeful about the mugshot and so disappointed that Trump used it to his advantage. They are hoping ti trigger a violent response or a response that they can manipulate into violence. Then, there will be more propaganda and arrests.
