    McCarthyism is back in full force. It reminds me a lot of the Brazilian military dictatorship where the mere denunciation of someone being a commie could get the person detained and maybe disappear entirely. Neighbors were denouncing other neighbors they had a disagreement with. And the same happened with co-workers.

    What I would say to my US comrades is to keep the head down and try not to bring too much suspicion. This is specially true in times of social media. However the way things are happening in the US what I see is that probably we’ll see the genocidal imperialist logic applied inside US borders or maybe a civil war will break out.
