It was more offensive than it is now?
It's offensive?
Generally yes, mostly in rhetoric. It made me wonder what they said before they toned it down as it must have been quite spicy.
What's offensive? I honestly don't understand?
It is if you sympathize with fascists.
When an agent moved to detain the person who spit on him, the crowd tackled and attacked the agents while surrounding them.

ICE are claiming how tough they are but cry at the most tiny aspect of people holding accountable treating them like the Nazi scum they are.
They won't let us use their bathrooms to go pee.
Definitely use that to garner sympathy when you're at the Hague.
Aww, is the Gestapo getting their feefees hurt?
No, they're getting their peepees hurt.
Wear diapers ya big babies!
Just like daddy Trump.
Could be terrible experiment to see what happens to those wearing them outside in extreme cold for long periods of time
Could be ~~~~terrible~~~~ great experiment to see what happens to those wearing them outside in extreme cold for long periods of time
Kudos to the Minnesotans and the ICE asswipes can piss and 60shit their pants in their $60k plus vehicles.
Fuck ICE, but stop saying they aren't human. For one thing, their cruelty and depravity should stand as a reminder of what the worst of humanity is capable of. But more than that, dehumanization of one's enemy is the first step toward radicalism. How else do you think they came to have their own terrible views?
They weren't born like this. They were made this way.
I don't approve of that kind of rhetoric as a general rule, but conflating calling someone inhuman for their cruel actions with calling someone inhuman for their perceived racial inferiority is incredibly disingenuous.
I agree. The complacent myth that the Nazis were subhuman monsters and not people like us is part of what got us this resurgence of fascism. We need to admit that the worst people are more like us than we're comfortable with.
“It wasn’t Hitler or Himmler who deported me, beat me, and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, the neighbor, who were given a uniform and then believed they were the master race.”
I sometimes fear that
people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress
worn by grotesques and monsters
as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis.
Fascism arrives as your friend.
It will restore your honour,
make you feel proud,
protect your house,
give you a job,
clean up the neighbourhood,
remind you of how great you once were,
clear out the venal and the corrupt,
remove anything you feel is unlike you...
It doesn't walk in saying,
"Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."

Well this begs the question of whether or not radical actions are required at a certain point and where that point actually is. Surely complacency only gets more necks stepped on.
They were born humans, but they've surely lost their humanity by now.
People don't stop being people just because they're terrible. That just makes them terrible people. Never forget that the capacity for evil lives in all of us.
Furthermore, the only real purpose of claiming someone has "lost their humanity" is as a justification for treating them as less than human. Which is precisely why you and I despise them in the first place.
Is this how we end up with public bathrooms?
which amendment is the guarantee against soldiers being quartered in homes?
Does it matter when your government wipes its ass and balls with that constitution? At this point it's a paper in a museum, nothing more.
The trump admin is now pulling at the second amendment FFS. Not that I like that amendment, I fucking hate guns and they should be prohibited world wide, but o know how important the second amendment is to magas! It's the fucking load bearing wall under the foundation of all of their beliefs. Trump doesn't even care about the "rights" of his own supporters anymore (really REALLY bad move for a dictator wannabe, even dictators have to answer yo groups of people) so do you think he'll care about the 3rd, even for a second?
I guarantee you he won't even know what the 3rd amendment says
It's for their own protection! God forbid, there might be a trans person in there.
/s, obviously.
oh man must be so awful for them to have people making it impossible to pee in peace cant ever imagine what that's like.
Welcome to the reality of your existence ICEholes. We don't support you and need you to go back to your proud boi/KKK hole and continue to degrade.
It must be a sobering reality thinking what you're doing is lawful and the population is on your side, and then you have people on the street screaming slurs at you, hotels are kicking you out, and businesses won't let you take a shit.
Nah, Most of them are always the victim, never the victimizer. They cannot conceive of being the bad guy. The ones that do are scorned to silence by the ones that have no ability to see themselves as wrong. Those are the people that feel anything they do is justified and are capable of horrors.
Let it persist beyond their assignment.
They should feel unwelcome everywhere. Forever.
o noooo, your right as a human being is being infringed upon by another human being? o NOOOO i do not feel bad for you. what are we to dooooo.
Sounds like a shitty job for a bunch of pissed off crybabies
Pee your pants, you redneck pieces of shit. Isn't that what you do anyway?
Shitheads should speak with nurses like Pretti about how long they must go without taking a piss.
Such pansies.
Piss your pants fuckfaces
lol, lmao even. Fucking idiots, the disconnection with reality is unreal
Stop being crybabies you shut nazis
How about this: the general public treats ICE as well as they treat their worst-abused prisoner. Deal?
Let the children out of the cages you fucking scumbags and then maybe you can piss in each others mouths
Nazis are like vampires you never invite them in
