So one thing that I learned from Timothy Snyder is that one of the critical things that leads to political violence is humiliation. This is something that the trump regime is really doubling down on, especially lately, through multiple different channels. They've already made clear, explicitly, that they want to cancel the midterm elections. Inciting violence is the means to that end. They're celebrating her death and flaunting power, ratcheting up violence and amplifying instances of violent outcomes in media. They've even fixed their own agent in hopes that someone will try something stupid.
In this sense, Good's shooting or something like that was inevitable, they're seizing this opportunity for all it's worth. They were expecting this and were ready to act. They engineered the situation.
They've been pissed about vehicle blocking at ICE raids, the Puppy Killer talked about it on detail in her rationalization speech.
If we could properly investigate this, we would find out that the agents were told to watch for vehicle blocking, and make an example, and send a message. That's why they obviously deliberately escalated the situation, and unhesitatingly shot her. They were under orders.
So who sent those orders? Puppy Killer? PeeWee Himmler? Trump himself?
Thanks for the additional context, and yeah, it seems clear that the murder was actively working to orchestrate such a situation.
And it's so blatantly obvious too. They think they're crafty when they're just fascist lite, all the fascism, no competence at all.
The original fascists weren't competent either. That's a myth.
Some of them were, but you're right, most were idiot sycophants.
Oh sure, there are competent individuals in most any regime. Wernher von Braun, Hanna Reitsch and Otto Skorzeny spring to mind.
What I meant was though that fascist regimes as a whole do not govern competently, for a variety of reasons, including promotion for loyalty. I'd argue though that the main reason is philosophical: their disdain for intellectualism and reason.
