This is exactly why the 2nd amendment exists.

Those of you who have served in the military and swore an oath to protect us from domestic enemies, please seriously consider honoring your oath before the rest of us have to do it for you.

when ice is coming to get me, no amount of weaponry will save me, all I'll do is take some nazis with me.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I want to be very clear here. If they take you, at A MINIMUM, they will beat you, torture you, SA you, and deny you civil rights and human rights. At worst, you die. You want all these slack jawed jackasses that won't raise holy hell about the government already doing this to immigrants, you're dead anyway. ''ICE kills US citizen'' is a much stronger headline than ''Trump says he will do this to citizens'' additionally when the ICE agents have to deal with the fact that ''just following orders'' includes a high chance of death, they might question the orders.

This is important to remember

Take down the Nazis with you because you have no choice or hope. You can't reason with them

They will deface you and disappear you. They will say you work for MS-13, that you're a child pedophile, they will craft and manufacture evidence and they will disappear you to the concentration camps. They've already done this, they're just going to continue

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They cover their faces and ID anyway, they should be blasted any place with stand your ground.

[–] Sizing2673@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It won't hold up

Fascists have full support of the government to send everyone to concentration camps with no due process

Stand your ground isn't going to do shit. And every conservative will suck the government dick

The government will make shit up like that have. That will say you worked for MS13 like that have been

Or say you are a pedophile. Nobody will defend you even liberals. And then it is your word against their and truth doesn't matter. They'll proceed anyway and kill you

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

As others have said, if they take you to a second location, you could either die or end up in a gulag in another country, which is probably as good as being dead.

May as well fight to the death. Make them pay for it. If you don't you could end up wishing you had another opportunity to.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Exactly this. The fear of torture to death would make me fight back when they bust in. This reminds me to start carrying and leaving easy access to the shotgun at home

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Honestly, not true? ICE is a bunch of fatass fascist sympathizers that get their rocks off abusing their authority. If they try to kidnap you, they are not going to expect you to be armed and dangerous. They are not going to be prepared for you to fight back.

You'll have to flee immediately after, because they'll send more agents when the first turn up dead, but it at least gives you a chance.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

And some job satisfaction.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

They are not going to be prepared for you to fight back.

I would be willing to bet that a significant portion of them spend their workdays at half-mast just hoping for someone to resist with a weapon so they can execute them. They may be more prepared than you think.

Absolutely true. They will also make shit up and deface your name anyways.

Even if you were found innocent and released, the entire world would believe the US government and the US government would call you MS-13 or pedophile

They wouldn't correct that mistake. And you would be hard to even find a job, plus you would probably have cultists coming to kill you

That is if they'd still don't just send you to the concentration camps and have you murdered like they have done so far

[–] VanillaFrosty@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Everyone should strive for 2 so we make progress

[–] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Group up with others of the same opinion and go hang at some brown people's houses. Don't wait. Force the issue.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

We need a black panther revival asap

You need the people to come together. However that happens for you. Go eat with some folks you don't know from minority communities. The internet tells me Americans eat out a lot. Go to ethnic restaurants. Meet their families. Offer to help them buy guns to defend themselves. Defend them yourself openly and without shame. Put your own comfort in jeopardy for someone you don't know.
