Shared Themes (Government-Antagonistic Lens)

Across Thompson’s work, we look for evidence of:

1. Police brutality and state violence — Unjust force against citizens, protesters, or outgroups
2. Surveillance and harassment — Government targeting of dissidents, journalists, bikers
3. War as policy — Vietnam, Nixon’s Cambodia, military-industrial interests
4. Media manipulation — How authority shapes narratives (e.g., Angels as “outlaws”)
5. Drug war hypocrisy — Criminalization vs. elite use; enforcement as control
6. Political corruption — Nixon, campaign finance, Watergate-era rot
7. Corporate–government collusion — Vegas, gambling, who really runs things

Cross-Reference

• Iacocca collection — Business/Republican insider critique of leadership; complementary to Thompson’s outsider view
