Gestapo says what?

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 72 points 3 months ago

people have proved their status or citizenship only to be assaulted and detained anyway..

so, FUCK OFF.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 63 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Papers, please!

Of course, where does that leave those of us who aren’t citizens and have no intention of becoming citizens?

Death camps, probably

“LET ME SEE YOUR PAPERS!” Should Latinos wear a patch yet? Or does that come later?

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago (3 children)

The way this admin is speed running fascism I half expect them to tattoo QR codes on them. When called out for being nazis, they'll push back and say nazis used numbers. This is totally different.

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Everyone will get a QR code tattooed on the forehead. Among other things these codes will be needed to use a credit card. Evangelicals will hail this move as a clear sign of Trump's godliness.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The Mark of the Beast, one of the primary signs of the Anti-Christ.

Revelations 13:

And he causeth all, both small and great*, rich and poor*, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand*, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

You can see how a Capitalist would like that part.

Could Americans spot the Antichrist?

Good idea. Maybe the government could create a specific patch that shows their immigration status, with each being a different color. First it's the undocumented with no patch, then the asylum seekers with a yellow patch, then the dreamers with a blue patch, then the green card holders with green patch, then the birthright citizens with an orange patch, and finally the naturalized citizens with a red patch. As each group becomes criminalized, it will make it easy for ICE to scoop them all up.

Those who bought Trump's $5 million Gold card get a gold patch, of course. Nobody will bother them. They bought their citizenship like you're supposed to.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 3 points 3 months ago

This will make the visual metaphors in the movies of the US's Fascist Fun Time a lot easier, that's very thoughtful

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 46 points 3 months ago

Nazi Barbie just figured out how to make normal people resist more actively.

[–] MichaelHawkinSnider@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

Remember when MAGAts threw hissy fits when you had to have a piece of paper to prove you were vaccinated for the safety of the public? I wonder what they think of this.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They even compared it to having to present papers in Nazi Germany. But this? This is totally fine to them.

[–] Lor@leminal.space 10 points 3 months ago

Remember the Death Panels? Now the GOP is a death cult! Go figure.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

MAGA: Isn't my citizenship obvious? points at white skin

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 27 points 3 months ago (2 children)

She looks like she's wearing a mask made of human skin which somehow fits the "I bragged about killing a puppy".

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 3 months ago

And while she was hopped up on blood lust, she killed a goat, too.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 4 points 3 months ago

Southpark did a documentary on her, I think they cover the story behind her face.

[–] Lor@leminal.space 25 points 3 months ago

very fascist.

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Kristi Noem should prepare to spend the rest of her life behind bars when normal government resumes (and it will).

[–] chocrates@piefed.world 23 points 3 months ago

Normal was school shootings every week. Normal was Cops militarizing and murdering black and brown people in our streets. Normal was unlimited money flowing into congress form Corporations.

We can't go back to normal after this. This has to end in revolution and rebuilding our country. We need to enshrine our real values in the constitution and prevent things like this happening again.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Why would it? They are fixing elections and the democrats refused and still refuse to stop them, or to be popular.

How could you possibly think they will be unseated?

Who would want to live in a country where you aren't even free?

What happened America?

A nightmare came true.

[–] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Seems like things went to shit overnight.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Definitely not overnight for anyone who has been paying attention

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

It's been long in the making, like almost 50 years ago when a bunch of influential fanatics had an idea of trying to get Supply Side Jesus land on earth.

Anyone who is still a Republican at this point is a Nazi too.

I prefer it if Krispy Gnome had to prove she was human.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How do you prove citizenship? A lot of (most?) people don't even have passports, which is the only federal ID that most people can get that establishes citizenship.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 months ago (3 children)

the "real id" marked state id and dl also do, but have also been ignored by the police state.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

They've already come out and said the Real ID isn't proof of citizenship, just your identity.

Best I can do is exercise my God-given inalienable rights with great intensity.

Here's my proof: 🖕🤬🖕

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Papers, Please

It's a fantastic single-player game if you need a distraction while the world is destroyed around you and your friends and family are murdered.

[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Why not come out with a system were you can identify this quickly and effectively.

We can all wear something on our sleeve like a star or something, maybe make it a bright color so it's easily seen from a distance.

[–] AshMan85@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Exercise your rights.

Fuck you I won't do what you tell me!
