The browshirts at least were proud of their shitty ideology.

🎶Big tough men

Gotta hide their faces

Because they're afraid

Of their concequences

They don't want you to know that they're weak inside

And that's why they all joined ICE.

Ohhhh, Ice stands for

I Cry Everyday!

And it also stands for

I Can't Ejaculate

They've got a racist boner

For deporting your Abuela

Now even superman has teamed up with the Klan.

So these big tough men

With their body armour

To help them to defend

Against a stay at home father

Lets everyone know that they're all weak inside

And that's why they all joined ICE.

Literal poetry. I applaud you

I would love to know how many of these ding dongs "just couldn't wear a mask" during covid, and now...

People are using this to kidnap folks. If they don't id themselves, they are kidnappers and you should defend yourself lethaly.

Why has the country that has always defended it's "right to bear arms" in case the government comes after you, now bending over backwards and spreading their arse cheeks when these goons come to take their wife????

call the cops and say people are impersonating ICE officers, either the "ICE officers" are real and you've now slowed them down and sown discourse, or it turns out they aren't real and you've now avoided a potentially even worse fate than prison camp

The article is on point.

I did know a former brownshirt (my neighbour when i was a kid in the late 80s, early 90s), and i often talked to him about his time back then, before the war. He was quiet a nice dude, you couldn't imagine that he spend his youth beating jews and having street fights with communists... but this is another story.

What stuck in my mind from this conversations was that he and the other brownshirts were PROUD of what they were doing, they left their home in uniform and returned to it in uniform. They paraded in uniforms and it was simply KNOWN who they were. I think the best analogy for today would be getting a gang tattoo to your face and walking around with it in public - there is no easy going back.

This tells me, that the ICE guys (are there any women employed?) are not really convinced that they are doing "the right thing", that they want to have a way back into normal society if their experiment fails.

A lot of them are just doing it for money and a sense of purpose... like most jobs.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Brown shirts? Not so much, you swore to an ideology of you did it for money or just makes you selfish, hateful and greedy and I'm not actually sure that's better.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Ideology is a sense of purpose. Most human beings are selfish, hateful, and greedy. Regardless of their politics.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

Yeah neat, the ideology in this case was authoritarianism and racism. You sign on to that when you swear to it, excuses are kinda useless at that point.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Everything about everything that all of them are doing screams "shame". The thing people say they don't have.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 14 points 9 months ago

And the SS rocked those Hugo Boss outfits. Trump can't tie his tie the right length, the fit of his pants make him look like he just filled his diaper, and he surrounds himself with women who look like Janice from the Muppet Show. He's not even good at being a fascist.

The brownpants people

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago

These ICE cucks fear that they will fail because it all sits on the shoulders of a shit filled idiot balancing on swollen ankles moments from an artery clogged death.

If it falls apart then they only have their face masks keeping them from being identified and shunned from society.

Their VP Vance couldn't hold this together and Stephen Miller only hides behind the curtain so well because of the buffoon in front of it.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

They're scared that eventually we're going to get them. They've seen their Nazi compatriots hauled into courtrooms even 90 years later. They're scared that's going to happen to them. And they should be. We're going to get them all. Might take decades but we're going to do it.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Ok but this is at best deceptive. They often appeared in public unmasked but a lot of their most famous violent shit was done masked for anonymity.
