The agents will enjoy it.

Great spirit from these kids, sadly they're too innocent to realise that kind words won't work against fascism. I'd like to believe there's a future for them where they can maintain that innocence.

Is this directed at literally the "fuck them kids" president?

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 11 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

As if the gestspo would care

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 10 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The fascists are not the target audience.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

but the title say that the kid wrote letters to ICE the fascists terrorist organization

It is not the letters that changed things it was real actions like boycott and mass protests

Boycotts and mass protests get more participants when people with a conscience see videos like this. That's why OP said in a parent comment the video wasn't for the fascists. Its for us.

Again the title and the kids first two words they said is adressed to ICE and now those kids and parents sre at risk of being targeted by thr facist. If it was adressed for normsl prople they would say dear people, dear friends, dear neighbourgh etc.

They couls also have hidden the kids face to protect them

Are you an alien who's reading Lemmy to study humans? How is this beyond your grasp?

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world -1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

You have no arguments so you rely on personal attacks. What you said is factually wrong

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not sure why you are talking in the past tense.

Non violent action is still active resistance, and all resistance to fascism is good.

Authoritarian regimes need obedenence, don't give it to them willingly.

Not everyone can be involved in an underground movement, not even everyone can be involved in an above-ground movement.

You want the kindergarteners to form boycotts and mass protests?

You're so dense I'm surprised you haven't collapsed into a black hole.

Those kids are on a list now, too 😕

[–] ToTheGraveMyLove@sh.itjust.works 4 points 17 hours ago

Cute, but the far right hates children. They see them as property, not people. This won't sway them.

God this video is pure liberal bullshit. I can’t think of anything that encapsulates how utterly useless and ill-equipped the liberal establishment is when it comes to combatting fascism.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

All resistance to fascism is good.

What do you think these preschoolers should do?

[–] dogbert@lemmy.zip -1 points 15 hours ago

Nothing. Children have no obligation to fight against fascism. That is the job of the adults and they have failed these children.

[–] sturlabragason@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Poorly phrased but sound reasoning.

Only reacting will not help.

Ah yes the shit take. One every thread now.

What do you suggest? Give the kids guns?

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)
[–] dogbert@lemmy.zip -1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

We just linking content made by Israeli propagandists now? Cool…

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 4 points 15 hours ago

I do not think you have the ability for critical thought.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Just don't get kids involved and protest in the street

[–] dogbert@lemmy.zip -1 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

lmao “pwease mister dont do fascism it’s bad 🥺” is totally gonna work 👍

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe the goal isn't for the letters from kids to change their mind, but to add to the public sentiment that there's some crazy shit happening and help get the adults fired up.

[–] dogbert@lemmy.zip -1 points 15 hours ago

You cannot possibly bring more awareness to ICE than what is already there. The public is perfectly informed about what is happening, and some kids aren't changing your mind if you like ICE lmao.

Buy a fucking gun already and start organizing.

[–] imrighthere@lemmy.ca 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Those kids have more balls than you will ever know.

[–] dogbert@lemmy.zip 1 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

My criticism had nothing to do with the children themselves. They’re great. Whichever rotting old lib came up with this idea should be embarrassed.

[–] Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Ignore my question then. You're only further proving that you're here for the shit take.
