    Gotta love how the FBI is now spending considerable resources policing “ideology”.

    Come at me, bitches. I’m a midwestern-born transgender anti-capitalist atheist urbanite who works in tech and lobbies for socialist policy at every opportunity. I should have my citizenship revoked and be sent off to redacted

      You should read the article. Some FBI agents were fired for trying to warn about violent religious extremists.

        Exactly. The wrong kind of religious extremists. Catholics who blow up abortion clinics? Totally cool, stop warning us about them; in fact, you’re fired because you probably won’t stop thinking about it anyway.

        Progressives who care about the rights of asylum-seekers, or would like to avoid the worst outcomes of late-stage capital? Enemies of the state!

    They might start feeding the poor or helping immigrants. You know, the christian thing all the offshoots forgot about. Doesnt fit with the prosperity doctrine.

      They weren’t fired for being Catholic–they were fired for writing a memo which warned about potential violence from extremist Catholics.

        Correct? But also “Radical Traditionalist Catholic” was the title of the report. It would be radical and tradition for Catholics to take care of the poor and defend immigrants. Its part of the whole belief system.
