ICE Agents pepper spray, beat up, and kill a person, after forcefully capturing him.

I think maybe we're getting to the non-boring type of dystopia

MODERATORS
And Dems decided to vote in bipartisan fashion to increase ICE's fascist funding.
Guy poking corpse with stick meme Hey, Democrats... do something...
Why are you surprised? Do you really believe the Dems are an opposition party besides aesthetics and vibes? Lol
At what point did the person you're replying to indicate they were surprised?
Most of the videos are to grainy for me to tell what happened to his gun. What is clear is he had a phone in one hand and the other was empty when he was first attacked. That and that they proceeded to shoot him six times when he was aready slumped unmoving bleeding out on the ground.
Though given the New York Times is saying he was shot after the gun was taken without any particular weasle words I'm inclined to think they shot him without provocation.
Kristy Noem could descalate things a lot if she stopped trasparently lying.
I don't know what video you saw, but its not a video where that man wasn't executed.
it was plain as day, his legal carry was divested from his person by an agent 2 seconds before he was shot, and wile still sat on by multiple other agents
There were two agents per limb, if that dude was still a threat, bullets would have bounced right off of him.
Not ICE this time around, but the fascist pricks in the federal border patrol.
This is very confusing. How should we clear it up?
Here's an idea, anyone claiming or acting like law enforcement in your neighborhood that has no badge, no warrant, no visible face, they get gunned down in the fucking street, no hesitation nor questions asked.
How's that for clarification?
They have been stocking up on heavy military surplus materials for years and are incredibly horny to get to use it. These people are extremely excited about the prospect of civil war. They are not afraid of people fighting back, they are drooling their idiot faces off daydreaming about it.
So yeah, maybe try to think up a more efficient form of resistance, though I sympathize with the sentiment.
Even if thats what the top wants, it's not reflected in the untrained cowards on the streets. They were caught on video fleeing from their own gunfire.
They will escalate, whether we act or not. That's how we got here.
Act accordingly.
Also, asymmetric warfare works wonders. Ask any country that has had to fight the US in the last four decades and sustained those wars for decades.
Oh yes, because the countries the US invaded for natural resources have all been thrilled to have been murdered by american soldiers. They should really be grateful for the opportunity granted to them by the US to win a good war.
War is shit. Find a better solution.
Of course, I'm not saying you shouldn't prepare for the worst, but don't fucking escalate.
When did I say any of that?
Do you think those countries chose to be invaded? Did they escalate.
Help me find a better solution, I'm all ears.
I'm just saying that the fact that America tends to lose its wars is very meager comfort for those on the receiving end of them. You can't really win a war as a civilian.
Protests and strikes are working. Organize locally in a positive and constructive manner (maybe get active in a union? Do you still have those over there?), build community and dedicate time and effort to that. Be the opposite of the fascists, don't just echo their ideas of violence.
It might not feel so badass, but you'll do more good as a living organizer than as a dead agitator.

How tone-deaf do you believe this is?
Two "agitators" have been executed in the street, nevermind the thousands kidnapped and disappeared by this regime. The war is here already. I'm not advocating starting violence, I'm advocating ending it.
And when you say the protests and strikes are working, what does that mean exactly? How has it worked? Because again, people are still being disappeared and more people are being executed in the streets. Make it make sense.
Going out guns blazing will be seen as an escalation, even if that's what they're doing already. That's just the reality of the situation. Hell, they're currently trying to justify their killings with arguments such as "he held a phone" and "her foot fell on the gas after she died", and parts of Trump's base are nevertheless buying it. If anyone actually came at them with weapons they would be having a blast.
You don't end violence with violence against footsoldiers.
Pressure against the regime works. Trump and Vance are not afraid of ICE agents getting killed, they would be overly excited about it. They are not, however, excited to see the country rise in pritest against their fascist takeover.
You say tomato, I say fascist. Let's call the whole thing off.
Great example of " a distinction without a difference"
An important distinction nevertheless. There are a lot of calls to abolish ICE, not so many to abolish the US Border Patrol.
If I were American I'd at least like to keep track of who is executing my fellow citizens in the streets. But maybe I'm just a pedant.
Excellent point.
And nothing will be done about it
Probably yes, but hopefully not
Now's not the time to hope and pray the fascism away.
