Can you please change the comment to this post. Otherwise I have to take it down.
Why people downvote this? Mod being friendly and polite, giving a chance to keep the post up instead of just deleting it on the spot like SOME websites do. This rule isn't arbitrary. You need written permission from the original author to reproduce an article.
Fuck ICE, but stop saying they aren't human. For one thing, their cruelty and depravity should stand as a reminder of what the worst of humanity is capable of. But more than that, dehumanization of one's enemy is the first step toward radicalism. How else do you think they came to have their own terrible views?
They weren't born like this. They were made this way.
I agree. The complacent myth that the Nazis were subhuman monsters and not people like us is part of what got us this resurgence of fascism. We need to admit that the worst people are more like us than we're comfortable with.
I sometimes fear that
people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress
worn by grotesques and monsters
as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis.
Fascism arrives as your friend.
It will restore your honour,
make you feel proud,
protect your house,
give you a job,
clean up the neighbourhood,
remind you of how great you once were,
clear out the venal and the corrupt,
remove anything you feel is unlike you...
It doesn't walk in saying,
"Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."

If it wasn’t for that click noice meme, I wouldn’t have clicked this. I wouldn’t have read all of this man’s thoughts.
To think he’s been blogging this whole time is unreal.
“It wasn’t Hitler or Himmler who deported me, beat me, and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, the neighbor, who were given a uniform and then believed they were the master race.”
They were born humans, but they've surely lost their humanity by now.
People don't stop being people just because they're terrible. That just makes them terrible people. Never forget that the capacity for evil lives in all of us.
Furthermore, the only real purpose of claiming someone has "lost their humanity" is as a justification for treating them as less than human. Which is precisely why you and I despise them in the first place.
Let it persist beyond their assignment.
They should feel unwelcome everywhere. Forever.
We should flip over their portable toilets… with them in it
We should arrest them for dragging women detainees into them...
We should push them over when they're solo too, but silly pranks isn't enough, we need justice.
lol, lmao even. Fucking idiots, the disconnection with reality is unreal
Piss your pants fuckfaces
How about this: the general public treats ICE as well as they treat their worst-abused prisoner. Deal?
Deal! I’ll take your entire stock!
Shitheads should speak with nurses like Pretti about how long they must go without taking a piss.
Such pansies.
Let the children out of the cages you fucking scumbags and then maybe you can piss in each others mouths
They won't let us use their bathrooms to go pee.
Definitely use that to garner sympathy when you're at the Hague.
Waaah! Somebody's gotta wear a diaper. Waaah!
They wanna larp like marines anyways, might as well go all in and give them the adult diapers too.
They want to be "at war" with citizens, yet still demand citizens treat them like the social contract is intact
It's common with fascists, because basic shit like this does have an effect on the jackboots.
Aww, is the Gestapo getting their feefees hurt?
No, they're getting their peepees hurt.
If the police weren't so buddy buddy with them, I'd say follow them around. The second they piss in a corner, get them for public urination. If it were on school grounds or close by? (don't remember if there's a distance cutoff) you could have them in the sex offender registry, which tracks them and is fully public.
ETA: The ones who aren't already on that list
Nazis are like vampires you never invite them in
oh man must be so awful for them to have people making it impossible to pee in peace cant ever imagine what that's like.
which amendment is the guarantee against soldiers being quartered in homes?
When an agent moved to detain the person who spit on him, the crowd tackled and attacked the agents while surrounding them.
heroes
That's a lame excuse for pissing yourself from the slightest resistance from someone you can't just shoot anymore. Do like your boss and get a diaper if you can't cope via other means.
Welcome to the reality of your existence ICEholes. We don't support you and need you to go back to your proud boi/KKK hole and continue to degrade.
It must be a sobering reality thinking what you're doing is lawful and the population is on your side, and then you have people on the street screaming slurs at you, hotels are kicking you out, and businesses won't let you take a shit.
Lol maybe if they don't want a UTI they shouldn't have signed up to terrorize people
ICE are claiming how tough they are but cry at the most tiny aspect of people holding accountable treating them like the Nazi scum they are.
I reckon they should expect about the same amount of sympathy they've shown to the people they've been abducting, i.e. none at all.
Pee your pants, you redneck pieces of shit. Isn't that what you do anyway?
They need to tell ICE to KYS. Actually do something helpful.
Stop being crybabies you shut nazis
Ugh... The lack of self-awareness is killing me, I swear...
Fire code dictates that doors should swing outwards, but I've come across single stall gas station bathrooms that swing inwards.
Barricade them in, but be aware that they'll probably start shooting through the door.
I hope they piss their fascist little panties and walk around in piss slush all day, forever.
