Flooding the system with false hints... that is a brillant idea!

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 43 points 2 months ago

Simple sabotage goes miles.

[–] Soleos@lemmy.world 72 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So... Now we put Mexican stickers on every Republican's car, mailbox, and window sill right?

[–] Gnugit@aussie.zone 11 points 2 months ago

I love this

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 49 points 2 months ago (2 children)

"Why the sticker?"

"Oh! That's because, fuck you."

[–] fadhl3y@feddit.uk 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because the First Amendment

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

While I agree, I prefer my answer ;-)

As soon as we get back to Cali, I’m putting a Mexican flag sticker on my car. I and my parents are natural-born US citizens. I also have a Latin surname so it should be extra time wasting for the fuckers. Possibly even a false imprisonment sitch. And I WILL get a lawyer to go after them if ICE arrests me

[–] talentedkiwi@sh.itjust.works 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Best to have a lawyer you already have a number for, just in case.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My Sister in Law is a lawyer and former city attorney for LA. And hates MAGA as much as do I. She would be able to advise on emergency issues and would find me a ravenous barracuda of a civil suit lawyer.

[–] talentedkiwi@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago

That sounds like the perfect setup to waste some time.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

Seems like citizenship matters to them less than skin color.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 33 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm surprised they didn't just deport her anyway. She must not have had any tattoos I guess?

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They're strong to the weak and weak to the strong. And the bar for strength isn't that high... they're cowards who hide their faces and act only in groups

[–] fuckgod@feddit.online 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just want a story where a pile of ICE bodies is discovered somewhere.

I actively want to see a body pile of corpses, but of them.

I might forgive certain kinds of ignorance (begrudgingly) if people snap out of it, but I will never forgive ICE members.

We're living through what will become Inglorious Bastards II.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 5 points 2 months ago

I wonder what city we'll hold the trials in... My guess is Vancouver

It would be really terrible if they ended up in a mass grave before then. I would never advocate for such a thing, definitely not...

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They suggested to remove it... Wtf is happening there...

How are they “pulling people over”? Don’t you need some kind of cause for a traffic stop? Just because you put a siren on your car doesn’t mean you can pull people over.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 28 points 2 months ago

You must be new to US policing.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The threshold of evidence for this is "reasonable suspicion", which means that the police can pull you over based on their subjective opinion that a crime, such as being brown, might be committed.

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Woah let's not walk away from the bigotry some of them actually believe it's a crime to even give them rights.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

They aren't real police, the Mexican flag is enough cause for the gestapo.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sounds funny and dangerous.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Let’s buy a bunch of Mexican flag stickers and put them on ICE vehicles, so they all start pulling each other over.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

My theory is that ICE agents wear masks because ICE is hiring a bunch of undocumented immigrants -- for the same reason everybody else hires them.

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

Could we also dress like ICE and show up to their invasions? It's not impersonating an officer because there isn't a real uniform.

[–] TypFaffke@feddit.org 13 points 2 months ago

"Why should I remove the Italian sticker? I happen to like pizza"

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 months ago

This is precisely what the CIA tells people to do to rebel without blowing your cover.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I guess it’s not a great idea to tell the pigs “to waste your time you Nazi fucks”?

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

Da Queen shows us da wei!

[–] scaredoftrumpwinning@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I hope this takes off. It might give people other ideas too to keep wasting their time

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

Like ICE gives a fuck. They are rounding up anyone they want.

Xuckles in Aztec

I'm not sure of the correlation but I'm reminded of the quiet rebellion through Nazi-occupied slavic states (Poland, the Czech Republic, etc.) to hat-tip Jews whenever they were encountered in the street, which specifically pissed off the German garrisons, especially the SS.

It's the same as owning the libs albeit directed towards the far-right.

In the 20th century, false flagging (in this case, dressing using cultural indicators of a group you're not) was used to call out propensity for calling out black or latin persons.

An opposite effect came with a young black artist saved his pennies to get a Harrod's belt, and police arrested and booked him for stealing it until proven otherwise.
