They’d charge us for our actual crimes. You are doing those right? Not just posting?

Terrorism, conspiracy, something about being foreign agents, interacting with against some obscure law, and worst of all being

I denounce all my “violent” posts

Acting against the interests of wheat and corn lobbies with our bean-lies

Delinquency of minors, terroristic threatening, supporting terrorist States, conspiracy to riot (any posts detailing what to do during protests, sit-ins, building occupations), being/supporting communists/communism (pretty sure there’s still laws all over the books from the red scare days that could be used) just off the top of my head.

Doubt most of the charges would stick but that won’t matter as anybody who gets scooped up is likely to be broke enough that having all your computer gear (cell phones, router, computer, laptop, tablets) disappeared, missing enough days of work to be fired, expected to pay whatever “fees and penalties” can be thought of, flagged in some background check databases as a “person of interest” or something can go a long way in making life unpleasant without being thrown in the hoosegow.

As it stands, nothing on Hexbear breaches the letter of the law in western countries.

But, the reality is that they can arbitrarily arrest those they want to, and the consequent charge and punishment will be equally arbitrary and dependent on what made “push come to shove”. Any previous examples will be equally arbitrarily charged and sentenced. So the only realistic answer is:

• Crime you’ll be charged with: Anything
• Punishment: Anything between no punishment and death.

imo the site would just be shut down in some way. Many of the state’s domestic repressive functions are more easily carried out by non-state actors. Like FICO score or getting categorized as ‘extremist’ in an HR consulting database. This sort of thing materially pushes people into situations where they’d be arrested for something more mundane.

Other than that, there are other forms of carcerality or social ostrisization if people fall outside of social norms in real life. So maybe in IRL we say “hey isn’t making kids say the pledge of allegiance every day sorta weird and bad?” and someone responds that it would be unamerican not to and that their dad died in iraq or something and that the pledge honors them… and etc etc… suddenly vaguely left people irl who were gonna join the DSA but didn’t ever get around to it are indistinguishable from maoist guerillas because US body politic is ridiculous.

Our made up internets number will be tared by the Committee for un-Amerikkkan Activities, Who will falsely accuse us of being Russian / Chinese / Iranian [insert who isn’t worshiping today] haxors, before promptly being proven wrong.

They will send your ISP a letter, expressing their displeasure. Who will then send you a letter expressing their displeasure of recieving a letter of displeasure.

Of which we will have a hearty laugh - and toss in the trash after posting our pleasure of their itterative letter of displeasure reflecting how much of a thorn we are to Wall Street’s puppets.

They would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for you meddling bears.

Extremely unlikely purely due to the optics and inevitable pushback. Simply isn’t worth it for any government to go far because it will explode in their faces.

What they will do is what they’ve been doing. Make protesting more and more illegal and then when people go from rhetoric (which they don’t care about… they just don’t. Everyone here chirping is powerless) to actual action and get arrested under newer more draconian laws, the prosecutors won’t have anything to pin most people with, but oh oops look this guy posts two years ago he thought it would be funny to bring soup cans to a protest. If you have a shitty lawyer… might just be fucked. Probably get charged with some bullshit about attempting to incite a riot. Maybe Stephen “Adolf” Miller will get some executive orders pushed through instructing the FBI/ATF/NSA (whoever else) to broaden the definition of terrorism to include being vocally anti-Israel or anti-police so when you get picked up protesting your life gets stamped out.

As far as some sort of goonsquad Gestapo going door to door arresting the best posters… never say never, etc. but that’s one of the most unlikely events, imo. The feds love and have a history of “let them cook…” then they throw everything you ever said ever in your face in court. Make some prominent “examples”, the chirping quiets down, they got what they wanted.

The real answer is, whatever they want to…

If they can argue you’ve crossed the line, they’ll get you on some sort of domestic terrorism charge.

If they can’t, they’ll get you for drugs or another crime, and planting evidence isn’t above them if they need to.

Maybe they’d even fear for their life during those arrests or you just become another “street crime” statistic and they don’t need to get officially involved.

They could also black van you if they can get away with it, at which point they don’t even need to pretend anything.

Meh, Feds going after this site but not 4ch?

I guess depending on which country you live maybe if you post here your intentions to give lots of kisses and hugs to your local president or something and then actualy go and do it, perhaps that sort of attempt could lead to an FBI intervention. Otherwise I seriously doubt anyone cares.

Someone should check on Mr Roger’s and see if he is still keeping track of this website for his “research”(the guy with the only result for HB on Google scholar)

Since we’re all Russian bots here, I assume they’ll send a Blade Runner.

the FTC would shut us down for being swag monopolists

• impersonating police for volcel police.
• inciting jazz music
