Will terming dissenters "unamerican", be prevenient to placing them in re-education camps?

I don't like this word. It is preternatural. Sounds like "premie". There must be a good, sharp Anglo-Saxon word which could fill in for "prevenient" in your sentence. I, however, am at a loss. I can think of many strings of two words or more which do it but not one. Any suggestions?

It’s an adjective, Brugman. Something must follow the word to justify the use of it.
