just one watchlist? pls if you protested the iraq war back in the day, you're probably on like 50.

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Me: curiously googling if you can 3d printed drones and mini tanks

Reality: jersey drones and world unrest

Ah I'm on a few already I'm sure

I'm left leaning, aka a "lib" and I'm a fan of things that are anti-capitalist.

I think capitalism has outlived it's usefulness, just like religion did when we created modern criminal forensics.

At this point, we have so much in excess that if we did things in a reasonable and logical way, nobody would be homeless, nobody would go hungry.

The people with the power (money) don't want things to change, because they get to stay in power that way. The only way to oust them is to overthrow the system.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

This is not a lib mindset. It's at least progressive if not further left. Libs will fight and die for capitalism, but they want the messaging to be nice about it.

If you're on your deathbed, and looking back, you haven't been on at least one watch list, will you be able to say you have truly lived at all?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 162 points 1 week ago

That face...

"I'm a fucking child, why am I here saying shit you irresponsible fuckers should already know!?"

Layla Moran on the left is a member of their Liberal Democrats and someone who police were called out to when they allegedly beat their partner over an IT issue.

Ed Milliband in the middle is a minister and former leader of the Labour party. Maybe not the biggest leftie but enabled members to vote for their leader which paved the way for Jeremy Corbyn to win.

Based on the above two points, this feels to be quite badly labeled if you know who they are.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Was curious if the background! What's with Greta's wide eye face?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 14 points 1 week ago

it's called mutual aid and we start by fire bombing parliament ...

[–] ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago

I’m surely safe to respond to this because as an American we all know parliaments are for commies.

Right Mr fbi agent?

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 week ago (28 children)

I don't get lib as an insult. Seems like pretty much everyone on Lemmy is on liberal side of center. I've seen some hexbear users use it to refer to anyone who isn't as tankie as they are, but I don't get it.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 71 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

The US uses lib to mean socially liberal, in opposition to the cons. The rest of the world uses it to mean fiscally liberal, as in support of not regulating capitalist markets, which is an anti worker position.

People often get pissy that a word can have more than one definition.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thank you, that makes more sense.

I didn't even know the second definition existed at all. Ty for sharing.

And even more generally, Western liberal democracy which most flavors of anarchism and socialism view as a system that is neither based on securing liberty or particularly democratic.

[–] squid_slime@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago

This is the american bastardised version of the word, a liberal has more context then centrist.

If you’re not on several watchlists in 2024 you’re one of the bad guys.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 week ago

If you aren't being watched by at least 9 letters worth of government agencies, you're boring

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

I clicked on this image you posted and then men in black fell through my ceiling.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Generic antiestablishmentarism isn't going to put you on a watchlist, this isn't the 1950s. Glowies have better tech nowadays.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If you wanna be on a list, start collecting old army field manuals. It's one thing to say "we should start fire bombing McDonald's," it's another thing to say "we should start fire bombing mcdonald's, and here's instructions on how to do it"

Not that we should be firebombong McDonald's lol I would never recommend that

But I would recommend reading TM 31-201-1, especially pages 78-82

Want to know how Luigi found what hotel Brian Thompson stayed at? It's right in his "manifesto." He used social engineering.

Social engineering is when you just take advantage of people's natural predilictions to give you info or access that you shouldn't have. For example, if he were to just call up UHC and ask them where the CEO was staying, they would likely just have called the police. Instead, he had to think of some plausible reason that someone might need that info through unofficial channels. I have no idea how he actually did it, but for example, Thompson was a famous womanizer who cheated on his wife. He was your standard sleazy executive scumbag. That can be exploited.

*Hi, CEO's office? I'm John Doe, an underling over at the CFO's office. My boss wants to give Brian a special surprise at this year's company meeting. We're thinking of hiring a few girls to come over and keep him company one evening. I need to know where to have them sent. I would send an email or look up the info in our records system, but, as you can understand, it's best if there's no paper trail. Can you let me know what hotel he's staying at?"

These social engineering methods are the same tools scammers use, but they work just as well for assassins.

Hint of styrofoam for added spice.

On a totally unrelated note, TM 31-201-1 page 78-82
