which is great for necessitating the need to insert absolute militant power for police forces. It’s like… the PR of him having a ‘meltdown’ is for a reason or something.

stoly@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoI love the quote about how it is putting federal agents in danger…and I sort of think that they are doing that themselves.

PR for who? Who is on the fence about ICE?

Probably lots of people in red states. Farmers for instance, people who buy the Republican bullshit, but may personally rely heavily on immigrant workers. It puts them in a really tough position.

I have experienced some recent schadenfreude with farmers who no longer have workers to harvest because ICE scared them away.

You’ve made a potential error in underestimating just how horrible some peoples’ lives are and how filled with hatred they are over that fact. This is really what drives so much of politics in the world–disgruntled people with no future who choose to hate others who have nothing to do with it.

What fact? People’s lives are horrible BECAUSE of ICE. They’re so horrible that I considered that nobody would be “on the fence” because either you drank the Fear-Of-Crime Kool-Aid or you are horrified at what ICE agents are doing to children and poor people. The entire reason there are people who don’t think ICE needs to be abolished right now is because Fox News and other right-wing grifters have pumped out propaganda making it look like there is a “crime wave” like it’s the Reagan Era, and people living in the Suburbs not knowing what the outside world is like. Not only do they choose to portray a crime wave, they have to do it, because otherwise people would see their president as the power-hungry maniac he is rather than a savior of order. No riot is actually making people miserable, only the police-reported, sensationalist coverage of protests.
This is really what drives so much of politics in the world–disgruntled people with no future who choose to hate others who have nothing to do with it.
That’s just the American Suburbs. I hope American states can secede to change this. Meanwhile, in Vietnam, there is a high-speed rail being built. This is not driven by disgruntled people, people with no future, or people who choose not to hate others who have nothing to do with it. Neither is Iran defending itself from an imperialist regime, nor Australia having their left-wing Labour party completely outdo the right-wing Liberal party. America is the villain here.

Good, those agents are playing a dangerous game and you should know if you play with fire your going get burned. Its a matter of time before they try to kidnap the wrong person, and that person decides its better to die in America then it is to go to a camp then deported.
