This is like some always sunny shit.

"it's not like the SS is coming"

Cue the always sunny title music and the text "the SS ruins the Olympics"

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 16 points 1 day ago

What an odd thing to say.

Why would of all groups of people the SS would pop into their head, unprompted? Hmmmmm.

[–] europhile@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago

No but its like the SA is coming.

[–] shithawk@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah like that's never happened before

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 day ago

it's not like the SS are coming

That is a strangely specific comment, especially about a group that constantly is compared to the SS .... Because they fucking behave like the SS!

So yeah, yes! The SS are coming and you're rolling out the red carpet

Fuck these Nazis, you should all block their entrance to the country. Hell, Europe should have a requirement that (ex) ice employees aren't welcome. They so the same for ex nazis, don't they?

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

what "Immigrations Customs Enforcement" objective can it possibly serve to send ICE to italy?

It seems like they're trying to turn the olympics into some kind of fascist goon festival.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

They're just there to keep the trains running on time.

[–] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 37 points 2 days ago

It is like the SS is coming.

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 199 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Buddy, it's like the SS are coming.

[–] DivineDev@piefed.social 71 points 2 days ago

And even if it wasn't, when the SS is what first comes to mind when thinking "who is worse than ICE?", that's already enough of a problem on its own.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 22 points 2 days ago

O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

American here. Can confirm.

[–] j4yc33@piefed.social 15 points 2 days ago

It's weird how well they knew what to claim while claiming the opposite

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 97 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You mean the country that invented fascism doesn't see the problem with ICE?

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 38 points 2 days ago (4 children)

This is their current Prime Minister...

[–] Nikelui@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Up to not too long ago, the granddaughter of Mussolini was in the same political party.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I see "Mussolini" and "buon politico" and feel like I can piece enough together.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't speak Italian either, but I know enough Spanish (not much) to figure out what it says...

[–] YellowParenti@lemmy.wtf 8 points 2 days ago

Speak spanish

I think that mussolini was a good politician

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Jesus christ...I dread to think about what she thinks of Hitler .

This whole planet is doing a speed run to self destruction

To be fair, the SS used IBM and cocaine to achieve levels of efficiency that ICE can only dream of. ICE is using hallucinating LLMs and Sudafed, clearly.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 9 points 2 days ago

And also currently have a fascist government.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 56 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Why is US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement even going to provide security for a sports event in another country, anyway? It seems bizarrely out of scope.

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 2 days ago

Honestly, it's a rare chance for us Europeans to organise a huge protest against ICE. Now I'm kinda dreaming this happens.

[–] Nikelui@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Maybe to justify the billions of budget they have been allocated.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

They will deport all the Italians in Italy, obviously.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago

This will age like milk

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 81 points 2 days ago

Buddy, your grandpa got the same thing wrong 90 years ago.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So if this does happen, I expect the airport where they land to become a shit show of Europe protests... Let these motherfuckers see how real protests are done and how fucking hated these goons are.

Well, yes it is.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

They already have no legitimacy in the US, fuck business do they have going to another country?

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago

Many countries are sending police to help with the event. Mainly to advise on handling their own fans, so it makes sense border or immigration police are sent.

[–] Dremor@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

More like the SA.

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 days ago

yah it kind of is turning into that.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 14 points 2 days ago

And italy knows their fascists!

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 51 points 2 days ago (16 children)

I mean Italy has always viewed the SS in positive light, so makes sense they view ICE the same way

It IS exactly inviting gestapo to your country. Other country's hit squad having no jurisdiction whatsover.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

"They are the same picture"

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Puttana motherfucker.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I don't understand why they would go in the first place. They are homeland security. That's not our home land wtf

My boy Antonio really just went with the first comparison that jumped to mind.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

Really? Explain how this isn't that exact situation.
