The Past and Future of Incitement | The American Conservative
The context is clear: As they geared up for an impeachment, Democrats and mainstream media have sold the events of January 6, 2021, to frightened Americans as a new 9/11, to be the prime mover for defining a whole new range of crimes. Incitement will become this generation s material support to terrorism, meaning the complex legal definition will be massaged in the name of security so that it will become a word, and thus a crime, that will mean whatever the Dems, media, and FBI want it to mean.
The Department of Homeland Security already issued its first new terrorism alert in ages, warning of domestic anti-government extremists among us. The kid in his bedroom chatting online will be talking to a Fed pretending to be a white supremacist instead of from ISIS. The arrest for incitement those DMs, supposedly about white supremacy will be played across the news and, as with after 9/11, lead to calls for more censorship, more surveillance, more arrests. It s the 2001 playbook all over again.
