Not my country, thanks. I figured the lemmy.ca might’ve been a hint but that would require paying attention.
You might not be able to directly protest outside of the ICE office, but to say you can’t do anything just reaffirms my point. You CAN do things from outside of the US. You could be helping set up databases of ICE agents, you could target their networks, you could organize with people who ARE in the US, etc.
Instead you go online and tell others how to act or protest. Take your own advice and do something effective if you care about this issue.

People are being killed every day and yet people - including yourself, I’m sure, continue to enjoy their days openly. Or are you miserable and unhappy in everything you do on a day to day basis?
I’m in agreement that the example in the video is weak and performative, but it’s funny to me that these calls for Americans to “DO SOMETHING!!!” always come from those who aren’t going to be the ones making any meaningful sacrifice. It’s keyboard warriors all the way down.
At least these people are letting ICE know they’re still there and paying attention. What have YOU done to help the fight against ICE?

I would pay a premium ticket price to get a lay down seat at the back of the plane and have no food service in that zone. That gets rid of the food sales loss, for which I have never paid for anyway, as I’d be paying a higher ticket price. I guess at that point there is still a concern regarding a mess, since I can bring my own snacks, but it’s not like I would be getting some memory foam mattress with Egyptian cotton sheets with the way airlines would implement this anyway. I’d get a long pleather cushion with maybe a standard pillow.
It would be worse than what I got in the Navy, slightly, but still better than any shit airplane seat I’ve sat in.

How is it allowed? That’s the American way, baby!
How is it possible? People buying Apple products. Their walled garden seems to be a point of pride amongst many users. Not many people actually need Apple products, it’s a choice.

And the fact that he’s sitting down could be taken as poking fun at people with mobility issues

Is eyeliner a specifically queer thing now?
