    I think the more chilling part of this is the implication that a university is working with the FBI to erase this person at the drop of a hat, with no due process. Not that it’s surprising, considering universities that take the side of the genocidal settler state israel over student protesters, for example. But it doesn’t make it any less fucked up.

      The FBI started as an extrajudicial hit squad to murder folk-hero bank robbers and the creator/first director was a deeply fucked-up man who used the Bureau to hunt down homosexuals because he was one and hated himself so much. It has never been a morally upright organization.

        Thanks for the context. I’ve figured they’re an extension of the white supremacist, colonial fucked system (which implies a lot of shittiness all on its own), but am not very clear on the details. Do you have any sources you could recommend on the history?
