Comment on ICE Agents pepper spray, beat up, and kill a person, after forcefully capturing him.

How tone-deaf do you believe this is?
Two “agitators” have been executed in the street, nevermind the thousands kidnapped and disappeared by this regime. The war is here already. I’m not advocating starting violence, I’m advocating ending it.
And when you say the protests and strikes are working, what does that mean exactly? How has it worked? Because again, people are still being disappeared and more people are being executed in the streets. Make it make sense.

Going out guns blazing will be seen as an escalation, even if that’s what they’re doing already. That’s just the reality of the situation. Hell, they’re currently trying to justify their killings with arguments such as “he held a phone” and “her foot fell on the gas after she died”, and parts of Trump’s base are nevertheless buying it. If anyone actually came at them with weapons they would be having a blast.
You don’t end violence with violence against footsoldiers.
Pressure against the regime works. Trump and Vance are not afraid of ICE agents getting killed, they would be overly excited about it. They are not, however, excited to see the country rise in pritest against their fascist takeover.
