Let me give you another example:
Nowadays there is seemingly little being done regarding the kind of idle banter of folks wanting to off Trump. Looks may or may not be deceiving. That whole 86-45 T-shirt thing may be being treated as noise, but then again. . .
I remember a story from my father. This was about 1962-63. Some doofus mouthed off about killing the president in one of the local neighborhood bars. My dad heard it. Several other people did. Somebody took it seriously enough that they called the FBI, and the next thing anyone knew, Mister Doofus got a visit. That was nearly 60 years ago. Of course the president was Kennedy, and the doofus was mouthing off less than a year before Dallas.
Now? Let's say someone goes nuclear on here about socialist corkscrewers or whatever. Does the FBI care? No. But maybe a name and address get sent to the local ANTIFA cell or BLM organizers. Maybe you don't ever know why bad stuff starts happening to you-- random, seemingly unconnected stuff. That certainly happened with my grandfather and his family after they started standing up to the local Bund.
Mind you, I'm not saying stay quiet and take it. I'm just saying be damn careful about how you go organizing, and how you telegraph what you're doing online.
