"Without a People's Army, the people have nothing" - Chairman Mao

And yet his local city pigs were gassing protesters just this afternoon to protect the feds who did the murder.

I saw a number of comments saying he should ask the cops and even the National Guard to do something to oppose ICE and other feds. They mean the same cops that murdered George Floyd? I know libs lack object permanence, but that was only 5 years ago. The pigs will side with ICE every day of the week because "Some of those that work forces / Are the same that burn crosses".

[–] Muinteoir_Saoirse@hexbear.net 67 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The local and state cops are actively attacking protesters right now to defend the feds, I do not know what universe people are living in where they think they will side with civilians.

I know we are all onto the whole “cops are publicly subsidized paramilitary who act on behalf of capital” beat but I’m genuinely shocked that stuff like killology training hasn’t made it obvious to more libs

You have to consider that to predict American politics, you need to multiply outcomes by a large stupidness-monkey paw-cruelty cofactor. So it's like "yeah, there's a chance that state police help the people, but it's a volunteer inmate cohort who treat chemical burns from Brand Co. tear gas in exchange for healthcare via a 10 million dollar grant."

If the mayor had any real principles, he'd order the cops to arrest the ICE agents anyway. Then if the pigs refuse, it's at least obvious where the lines are. But he's a spineless liberal, so

not ask, order. and there would be resistance but you could probably find enough pigs to try to do their job if an authority is telling them to.

ICE is also targeting off duty hogs, there's plenty of justification for swine on swine violence

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago

there's some us-foreign-policy going on there so it could depend on whether the white pigs are white or blue first. I would assume they're white first.

Being two-faced pond scum while trying to appear to be merely incompetent is a time-honored demonrat tradition

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 59 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They (Democrats) still cant bring themselves to say abolish ICE even after yet another murder.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 51 points 3 days ago

I had a laugh a few minutes ago.

Honest question: what do you think he should do? I live in Minneapolis and I’m honestly not sure what more our government officials can do to stop a federal armed agency.

Libs chorus: "They can take my ability to vote from my cold, dead hand!"

ICE & other uniformed goons with guns: "Okay!"

Appealing to norms and traditions in a post-truth fascist society is something alright

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 31 points 3 days ago

yes-honey-left I'm not allowed to order my police to defend the city against an invading armed cult.

Heh.

kelly and above the fold

It doesn't make sense in this context but I had to post it.

---

I wonder if "above the fold" is a bit on the obscure side. Bluesky libs sometimes use it with a photo of their copy of the newspaper as if physical newspapers matter.

Above the fold is the upper half of the front page of a newspaper or tabloid where an important news story or photograph is often located.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 30 points 3 days ago

Didn’t he run on dismissing the threat of ICE and what to do about them? I remember him being pretty dismissive in the debates

Dear President Trump,

History will judge you harshly unless you rein in your execution squads.

Sincerely,
Love Me, I'm a Liberal
