Be prepared to have checkpoints everywhere you go.

And people are disappearing.

That's the actual point.

Bludgeoningly obviously, ICE had been chosen to be America's Gestapo.

The interesting thing is that the US of today isn't a historical parallel with Nazi Germany.

The US has 300,000,000 guns (among other things) in civilian hands.

I don't think it's going to be an uneventful 10-20 years as this round of fascism works its way through the American system.

Just put everyone in a labor camp and make North Korea look like a joke I guess.

I always wondered if family members of ICE members know that they are members... If I had a cousin that was ICE, I would go absolutely no contact with him, and would let everyone know that the guy is ICE. Wear your shitty mask, but people will know.

Someone should start an ICE database, where pictures of ICE people are posted, even masked. And let people who know them come forward and say "hey. I know the guy in picture X, it is John blabla". Then, bully those pieces of shit out of existence.

It'd probably be better to pretend to befriend them. Information is power.

A massively enlarged unaccountable army beholden to Trump, huh can’t imagine what could go wrong.

My pride flag will still fly. I will still protest. But I will now answer the door, chain bolted, and 9mm pointed through the door.

Bad idea. Even pistols can shoot through doors and entry tactics love it when you come to set location.

Get a security camera and if they take it out first... Well, you know what they're there for.

God bless the United States of authoritarianism

/s

America is fuckity fuck fucked. Enjoy Americans, this is what you voted for: fascism and tax breaks for billionaires.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

It's never going to stay limited to the US. Palantir will guaranteed be used by other governments outsourcing their tyranny.

You'll soon start seeing huge investment in trains, and their time-table as well.

[–] Onyxonblack@lemmy.zip 5 points 14 hours ago

It's absolutely fucked that this could be how trains and rail-lines get reinvigorated.

An overfunded undisciplined paramilitary of degenerates that couldn't make it through police academy, what could go wrong?

[–] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social 13 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Peacefully polite protesting should do the trick. You democrats reading my comment have any thoughts on the Second Amendment now? (Im a socialist and own guns and am not trolling, just want to genuinely ask what a solution is to this)
