You're coming in here arguing that being mean to fascist goons is bad, and then when multiple people disagree you go "I actually, uh, didn't mean what I typed directly in my comment!!"

Both of the things you've typed here are genuinely useless. Go talk to your neighbors and help them instead of being a counterrevolutionary on Lemmy. There's a comment a bit further up on this very thread with extremely useful information, go read it.

This is an extremely egregious and dishonest comment. You are ironically waxing poetic about the law that the current admin has torn to shreds with the help of this lawless force that everyone else actually wants to stop. Let's take a look here:

• Yes, we have to change the rules. It's actually very rare that oppressive laws are overturned through entirely legal means. "I can kidnap, torture, and kill people if the state says it's okay" is not the same as "Holy shit suspend that immediately I don't care if it's against the rules to do so".
• Yes, violence is excusable if the target is committing heinous acts of wanton violence. We shouldn't finger-wag murderers
• This goes back to point one, if your ""democracy"" allows for people to be violently oppressed like this, it is a total farce, and NEEDS to be entirely revamped.

You are, painfully obviously, someone who cares more about "stability" and "order" (dude just let the ruling class brutalize people every now and then, don't rock the boat too hard) than any sense of actual justice and safety. Stop defending literal politicians, who INTENTIONALLY put themselves in this situation and BLOCK anyone actually willing to help stop this madness, while you encourage the already-oppressed masses to take on more trauma with far fewer resources. Note how you don't even end your comment with any call to action like mutual aid, just "lalala these frustrated netizens are fake people block your ears!!", fix this

But the problem is that this reinforces their denial, which leads to them continuing to support other organizations that do the exact same things.

This isn't a *minor distinction", this is the very thinking that let ICE grow and expand for two decades.

Race isn't real but the effects of enforcing it are, what a weird comment this is

Pretty sure he was already talking about the fertility of teenagers at some point, so this is more of a 360

I think it's safe to say the literal best thing to do when confronted by ICE is to try and leave, they will just ignore any identification and it's better to not be caught alone, have some people near you and work on cardio if you can; of course this doesn't help much with the door-to-door shit, so having emergency+legal contacts is also very important

Everyone's already pointing out "well doing nothing isn't helping" but I'd like to point out there are many steps between Doomscrolling and Suicide By Cop, such as talking to your neighbors and joining community projects to build your local resiliency.

Go to the library or search up stuff like "charitable orgs [zip code/city/whatever]" and see what you can do. You can't do anything if everyone around you is too broke and stressed, anyways.
