Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

That's what you're complaining about? You guys are fucking lucky that people aren't just walking up to you and shooting you in the head. It wouldn't be murder either. Murder is killing humans, which you aren't. So, toughen up and piss in a bottle you little bitches.

Shitheads should speak with nurses like Pretti about how long they must go without taking a piss.

Such pansies.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 15 points 7 hours ago

Piss your pants fuckfaces

Fire code dictates that doors should swing outwards, but I've come across single stall gas station bathrooms that swing inwards.

Barricade them in, but be aware that they'll probably start shooting through the door.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Shit needs to be flushed, not walking around on our streets.

Fuck ICE, but stop saying they aren't human. For one thing, their cruelty and depravity should stand as a reminder of what the worst of humanity is capable of. But more than that, dehumanization of one's enemy is the first step toward radicalism. How else do you think they came to have their own terrible views?

They weren't born like this. They were made this way.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 28 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I agree. The complacent myth that the Nazis were subhuman monsters and not people like us is part of what got us this resurgence of fascism. We need to admit that the worst people are more like us than we're comfortable with.

[–] Zombie@feddit.uk 23 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I sometimes fear that
people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress
worn by grotesques and monsters

as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis.

Fascism arrives as your friend.
It will restore your honour,
make you feel proud,
protect your house,
give you a job,
clean up the neighbourhood,
remind you of how great you once were,
clear out the venal and the corrupt,
remove anything you feel is unlike you...

It doesn't walk in saying,
"Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."

If it wasn’t for that click noice meme, I wouldn’t have clicked this. I wouldn’t have read all of this man’s thoughts.

To think he’s been blogging this whole time is unreal.

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

They were born humans, but they've surely lost their humanity by now.

[–] PoastRotato@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

People don't stop being people just because they're terrible. That just makes them terrible people. Never forget that the capacity for evil lives in all of us.

Furthermore, the only real purpose of claiming someone has "lost their humanity" is as a justification for treating them as less than human. Which is precisely why you and I despise them in the first place.

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 6 hours ago

In my culture, being a human and having humanity are two entirely separate things. So I think we agree for the most part.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

I am merely doing unto them what they have been doing unto us. The saying is "do unto others as you would have done unto you." I'm merely doing that, but from reverse.

dehumanization of one’s enemy is the first step toward radicalism.

Systematically exterminating the cockroaches that is ICE and Republicans might be how we get out of this pit.

[–] Azzu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 29 minutes ago* (last edited 25 minutes ago)

I see, so you actually want them to dehumanize you? So you're supporting what ICE is doing?

Because the saying is, with emphasis, "do onto others as you would have them do onto you", i.e. in plain English, "treat others as you would like to be treated yourself". So if you dehumanize them, that means you must like being dehumanized yourself (at least as long as you apply the saying).

I think the saying that fits you more is "eye for an eye", just don't read what comes after.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago

Nazis are like vampires you never invite them in

[–] TemplaerDude@sh.itjust.works 15 points 9 hours ago

Let the children out of the cages you fucking scumbags and then maybe you can piss in each others mouths

[–] whereIsTamara@lemmy.org 61 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

We should flip over their portable toilets… with them in it

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 25 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Tip forward so it's harder for them to get out.

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 1 points 5 hours ago

Makes the air vents easier to access too 💩

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

We should arrest them for dragging women detainees into them...

We should push them over when they're solo too, but silly pranks isn't enough, we need justice.

[–] whereIsTamara@lemmy.org 4 points 11 hours ago

The kind of justice we get with the failed legal system, or the kind of justice we take for ourselves?

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I'd be willing to bet you could shoot through an outhouse easier than flipping it.

[–] whereIsTamara@lemmy.org 1 points 3 hours ago

I mean, i only have 12s, so… they scatter.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Replace them with one of those exploding porta pottys from jackass

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 52 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Let it persist beyond their assignment.

They should feel unwelcome everywhere. Forever.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 16 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

How about this: the general public treats ICE as well as they treat their worst-abused prisoner. Deal?

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 hours ago

Deal! I’ll take your entire stock!

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

If the police weren't so buddy buddy with them, I'd say follow them around. The second they piss in a corner, get them for public urination. If it were on school grounds or close by? (don't remember if there's a distance cutoff) you could have them in the sex offender registry, which tracks them and is fully public.

ETA: The ones who aren't already on that list

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 11 hours ago

lol, lmao even. Fucking idiots, the disconnection with reality is unreal

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 7 points 8 hours ago

I reckon they should expect about the same amount of sympathy they've shown to the people they've been abducting, i.e. none at all.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 21 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Waaah! Somebody's gotta wear a diaper. Waaah!

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago

They wanna larp like marines anyways, might as well go all in and give them the adult diapers too.

They want to be "at war" with citizens, yet still demand citizens treat them like the social contract is intact

It's common with fascists, because basic shit like this does have an effect on the jackboots.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 14 points 11 hours ago

That's a lame excuse for pissing yourself from the slight resistance of someone you can't just shoot anymore. Do like your boss and get a diaper if you can't cope via other means.

[–] criscodisco@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago
[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 11 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Do they let the immigrant children they ship off take breaks?

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

No. They have a known and documented history of putting people in deplorable conditions on ships. So, why would do anything different now?

[–] LMurch@thelemmy.club 6 points 9 hours ago

Ugh... The lack of self-awareness is killing me, I swear...

[–] Arcanepotato@crazypeople.online 9 points 10 hours ago

Lol maybe if they don't want a UTI they shouldn't have signed up to terrorize people

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 hours ago

Imagine working at Amazon and complaining that you have to keep murdering people to make your nazi bosses happy. That’s merely the inverse of this situation.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

They need to tell ICE to KYS. Actually do something helpful.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 6 points 11 hours ago

Apparently, dehumanizing one's opponents isn't seen as a problem anymore.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 4 points 10 hours ago

I say this as not even an advocate of escelation, but they are unironically lucky to be allowed to continue breathing after everything they have done, what they are a part of.

[–] Binturong@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 hours ago

I hope they piss their fascist little panties and walk around in piss slush all day, forever.

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 hours ago

Kaitlin Bennett yourself?

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago

It's only right that these cowards piss and shit themselves
