These two photos (to me) point to something even more monstrous in modern times.

For all of its barbarism, the guy on the left still at least had the courage of his convictions to show his face while commiting his crime. He believed enough to not hide his face like a coward.

ICE is just effectively keyboard warriors with guns in the real world. They have the balls to pull their shit only so long as they can stay hidden and safe behind masks while doing so. A bunch of fucking cowards who would immediately piss themselves if they were one on one and unmasked.

I'm not going to defend any nazi, especially the guy on the left. But at least nazi's used to have the courage of their convictions. Nowadays it's just barely literate dude-bros looking for a mask so they can execute people.

Before, theirs was the only voice being platformed, so they knew they needn't fear. Nowadays, they're a minority voice in most public spaces and know it.
