There is a demand for locally printed whistles for communities where ICE is or forecast to be.

If you are interested in printing whistles for your area, search "ICE whistles [your area]". You can use either your state or major nearby city. If you are interested in printing whistles, but can't find anything, let me know and I can see if I can find a local org you can support.

And which state apparatus do you expect to come to the rescue when all powers are practically consolidated, and the one supposed to protect your rights is the same that oppresses you? Or the oppressor changes/makes-up the rules on a whim? You just don't seem to understand what authoritarianism is about, and how the deal is changing. Haven't you been taught history? People generally don't bring up words like "fascism" for fun and giggles...

Your having a fantasy conversation

Do I? I'm just giving you textbook facts about authoritarianism and the consequences of living under one.

Whether you believe that this relates to your situation is something else. I'm not here to play mind games with you, all I can do is encourage you to simply look at the traits and definition of it, and bring your bingo card with you. Here it is, unaltered from Wikipedia:

Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in democracy, separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law.[1][2] Authoritarian regimes may be either autocratic or oligarchic and may be based upon the rule of a party, the military, or the concentration of power in a single person.[3][4]

Also, I gain nothing from this "fantasy conversation" besides the hope that it might help the reader navigate through what's happening (and that they will avoid the worst of it).

What you are doing is jumping to conclusions with barely any context with my relatively vague statement.

Sure, did I also make up this whole story about people being brutalised by the ICE from which it all derived?
