I am like Kraut, referring to pro-Putinists, which include individuals in a wide assembly range of political positions and whether they can sit in high level positions in the defence, etc.
It’s easy to simply call people “pro-Putinists” and then make lists, crack down on them, repress them, etc. Calling anti-system agitators “foreign agents” or “foreign influenced” is a time-tested tool of fascism.
I don’t believe this wide sweeping, that you refer to, will occur.
People who support the aggressive nation of Russia and their invasion of Ukraine are, in fact, very identifiable. You are not innocent “anti-war activists”. You support an aggressive neighbor.
I don’t support “cracking down on” you. I DO support you being barred from holding certain positions in defense and similar.
The sweeping is already happening, I linked groups like BreakThrough News, PSL, and the DSA getting targeted by the US state under the excuse of “foreign interference and domestic terrorism.” They all have anti-war positions that I share, and yet you label this as “pro-Russian” and wish state repression upon me, with regular surveillance to make sure I cannot continue organizing as a socialist. Read the links I provided.
I am not in a position to really voice my opinion on the cases in those, very short, articles, since they describe an area I am very unfamiliar with. They are unrelated to Russia-Ukraine.

Hopefully my OPSEC is good enough to keep me safe, but organizing as a communist is always a risk.
You’ll be found out and barred from jobs you could never dream off anyways.
Calm your victim complex.
NSPM-7 is a real program targeting any organization against the capitalist state. This isn’t a “victim complex,” it’s the real present day state repressions.
