Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
"became" probably isn't the right word.
This is an organization founded specifically to be the domestic white supremacist enforcement arm of the American federal law enforcement before Trump ever got ahold of it. He used this tool for what it was intended to be used for, he just did so in a way that was so clumsy and stupid that it became obvious to even normal people what it was.
The parallels with the SS are striking. In more than one way.
The parallels with the SS are striking
The SA, but yes.
Sure, but since the SA preceded the SS I think my point still holds. You are more historically accurate though :-)
The SA (Brownshirts) were the generic rabble with no training or professional education as soldiers. Hitler invited them off the street and gave them a fancy uniform and a mandate to harass and kill those he didn't like. Doesn't that sound a lot like ICE today that will hire anyone with a pulse and a white supremacist attitude?
The SA were replaced in a power by the SS, the professional soldiers, in an uprising initiated by Hitler that murdered the SA leadership.
Correct, and exactly what I was referring to when talking about ICE.
As for the exact history, the original SS were nothing but a bunch of untrained thugs too. Hitler has just grown distrustful of the SA and wanted his bodyguard to be loyal to him alone instead of the party. This is also what ultimately led to the night of the long knives and the execution of Ernst Röhm. It wasn't until Himmler took control of the SS in 1929, and with the institution of military training in 1934, that they slowly formed into an actual military organization with properly trained soldiers.
This was the plan from the beginning. If they don’t let him declare martial law in October he will use the Trump Gestapo
This was obvious right out of the gate. Now how can be stopped. Apparently they have an annual budget just short of Canada’s entire military.
isn’t this the largest ethnic cleansing operation in the USA in quite a while?
Just like Hitlers SS.
More like the SA (Sturmabteilung) AKA Brownshirts.
Poor fools:
ICE's REAL purpose is to be what "cleans America up" after all non-Republicans get "de-naturalized", legally converting them all into "illegals".
The current situation is NOTHING like what it's going to be after Trump uses the Insurrection Act to enforce insurrection against the US Constitution, or do some equivalent thing, probably in Feb.
There is no chance, whatsoever, for the US to be a "free society" once the tipping-point is crossed.
It will be exterminating-the-woke time, all-out WAR against lives of progressives, WHILE waging war on Canada to enforce annexation ( the REAL reason he "needs" Greenland: to snuff Canada's EU-lifeline ) & waging war on EVERYBODY in Central & South America, for imperial-conquest ( Putin's on the same page, re Europe ).
This is all charades, compared with the phase-change's situation.
Making-believing that the Status Quo LORD will reassert "normal" .. is a lethal delusion.
Once the tipping-point is crossed, all in the US will either vow loyalty to Trump, or have no rights.
& quite possibly no life.
