This is like some always sunny shit.

"it's not like the SS is coming"

Cue the always sunny title music and the text "the SS ruins the Olympics"

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 16 points 20 hours ago

What an odd thing to say.

Why would of all groups of people the SS would pop into their head, unprompted? Hmmmmm.

[–] europhile@feddit.org 9 points 18 hours ago

No but its like the SA is coming.

[–] shithawk@lemmy.world 11 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Yeah like that's never happened before

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 day ago

it's not like the SS are coming

That is a strangely specific comment, especially about a group that constantly is compared to the SS .... Because they fucking behave like the SS!

So yeah, yes! The SS are coming and you're rolling out the red carpet

Fuck these Nazis, you should all block their entrance to the country. Hell, Europe should have a requirement that (ex) ice employees aren't welcome. They so the same for ex nazis, don't they?

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

what "Immigrations Customs Enforcement" objective can it possibly serve to send ICE to italy?

It seems like they're trying to turn the olympics into some kind of fascist goon festival.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

They're just there to keep the trains running on time.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So if this does happen, I expect the airport where they land to become a shit show of Europe protests... Let these motherfuckers see how real protests are done and how fucking hated these goons are.

It's weird how well they knew what to claim while claiming the opposite

[–] T156@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Why is US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement even going to provide security for a sports event in another country, anyway? It seems bizarrely out of scope.

[–] Nikelui@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Maybe to justify the billions of budget they have been allocated.

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 1 day ago

Honestly, it's a rare chance for us Europeans to organise a huge protest against ICE. Now I'm kinda dreaming this happens.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

They will deport all the Italians in Italy, obviously.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

This will age like milk

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 94 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You mean the country that invented fascism doesn't see the problem with ICE?

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 38 points 1 day ago (4 children)

This is their current Prime Minister...

[–] Nikelui@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Up to not too long ago, the granddaughter of Mussolini was in the same political party.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Jesus christ...I dread to think about what she thinks of Hitler .

This whole planet is doing a speed run to self destruction

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I see "Mussolini" and "buon politico" and feel like I can piece enough together.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't speak Italian either, but I know enough Spanish (not much) to figure out what it says...

[–] YellowParenti@lemmy.wtf 8 points 1 day ago

Speak spanish

I think that mussolini was a good politician

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

And here I was thinking that NOT getting strung up by an angry mob is what makes a good politician

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

To be fair, the SS used IBM and cocaine to achieve levels of efficiency that ICE can only dream of. ICE is using hallucinating LLMs and Sudafed, clearly.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 9 points 1 day ago

And also currently have a fascist government.

[–] Ascendor@discuss.tchncs.de 36 points 1 day ago

Well, yes it is.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 80 points 2 days ago

Buddy, your grandpa got the same thing wrong 90 years ago.

[–] Dremor@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

More like the SA.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 14 points 1 day ago

And italy knows their fascists!

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

They already have no legitimacy in the US, fuck business do they have going to another country?

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 1 points 20 hours ago

Many countries are sending police to help with the event. Mainly to advise on handling their own fans, so it makes sense border or immigration police are sent.

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 day ago

yah it kind of is turning into that.

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 40 points 2 days ago

It IS exactly inviting gestapo to your country. Other country's hit squad having no jurisdiction whatsover.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Puttana motherfucker.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't understand why they would go in the first place. They are homeland security. That's not our home land wtf

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was wondering what role they would be in as well.

It kinda is ..

My boy Antonio really just went with the first comparison that jumped to mind.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

Really? Explain how this isn't that exact situation.

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wouldn’t it be the brown shirts?

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yeah. Sturmabteilung (SA) aka briwnshirts is technically the more accurate comparison.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It is like the SS are coming.

I’ve taken to calling them ICEatzgruppen.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (4 children)

It's like the sa are coming. The ss were a military company, the sa were political police.
