The Biden Administration Asks Americans to Snitch on “Extremists”
Most Americans despise terrorists, both foreign and domestic, and the US has experience of both. So, when the Biden administration came forward with plans to combat domestic terrorism, one would reasonably have expected some rather standard practices and understanding of what they are looking for.
But what has been revealed so far suggests America is being run by the party from George Orwell’s 1984 if it were led by the three blind mice. The plans seem to revolve around encouraging people to rat on one another based on suspicions of radicalisation. And one of the goals is to draw up a list of prohibited ‘extremist’ activities for the Defense Department – even though what is considered extremism hasn’t been properly defined yet.
The definition of extremism is the best place to start, because from a law enforcement perspective there needs to be a clear legal framework on what exactly is going to constitute ‘extreme’. Normally speaking, domestic terror in the vein of white nationalism has been easy to define. The culprits are individuals who target others because they believe that the white race is superior to everyone else.
