Every single appointed position in government is basically a minister or czar.. we just don’t typically use that language to describe it.. we say flowery shit like “director” and “secretary” instead. So to answer your question, for a long fucking time. “Minister” and “czar” are considered pejoratives in this country. When some fuckstick bureaucrat starts acting like a little mini-dictator shit head, we call them that because they deserve it. That said, to my knowledge there has never been a public appointed position within a federal law enforcement agency with the sole purpose of being the national thought police..that is, until now. The problem isn’t so much that directors or secretaries exist in the bureaucracy - though you could argue against them I’m sure..the problem is what this particular one is charged to do and the fact that she is operating out of a law enforcement agency. Individual critical thought isn’t a crime, but this implies that they intend to treat it as a crime for the fact that this new bureaucracy is part of a national law enforcement bureaucracy.
