my thoughts
perhaps it is me projecting(my default humor being based in many layers of irony), i don't know if merely normalizing the idea of a force being extremely violent is enough. there is this gamble here that if enough people are merely aware, something will change - however is there is another possibility where it becomes a social norm, think school shootings (south park had an episode on school shootings where the gag was that everybody reacted nonchalantly to the shooting except for the mother)i understand the perspective that the meme is to snap the general public out of it's trance, which is a good thing, as most legacy media is trying to massage this as justified.
no heat for the poster, whatever will happen is determined by the larger culture, than a individual
my concern is that once we develop a hegemonic consensus that ICE is extremely violent, are the human beings in the population well adjusted to correct this measure? or will we have allowed for the hegemonic culture to accept for ice to be more violent (not that revolution would happen instantly but the consciousness is gradually raised)
we may understand it is sick, in the context of this left unity website, but will that sentiment echo if i posted this meme to another groupchat in discord?
But it was posted here
