So they can't even identify the bodies. Yea that'll end well.
It's not that they can't. It's that they don't care enough. Plus they enjoy the suffering.
They need IBM's help.
For those unaware: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust
oh wow. I knew IBM were involved, but it always seemed to be handwaved as "yeah we sold them some computers before we knew they were evil and had no control over what they did with them". But uhh nope. They were complicit as fuck.
Yeah sadly Coke, Ford, IBM, General Motors, IT&T, Kodak, were the biggest ones, but “line go up” regardless of human death and suffering has existed forever and only now we’ve gotten better at codifying it

And now Google are actively assisting a genocide, and firing employees who object.
Yup, same with Microsoft, Palantir (which is just pure evil from the start), etc. like I said, doesn’t matter who dies or suffers as long as line goes up
Maybe someone should start helping people hide from ICE and they can make a movie about the list in a couple years.
I want Christoph Waltz to play a role in that.
Ah, good old DEHOMAG.
Sounds like ICE just committed fraud.
Really that's on the very low end of what they are committing
Insurance companies and the IRS tend to not like fraud and have a wee bit more money and political power than the average family. But you are not wrong.
ICE is now bigger then the IRS (wild times). And I doubt the insurance industry is taking on the current administration in the us.
Unbelievable!
They deported him for losing his wallet.
Nothing says “law and order” like shoving innocent people into unmarked cars over lost pieces of paper. /s
“Papers, please.”
If they want to honor their cosplay they should yell "AUSWEIS BITTE".
jesus fucking christ
when will people start fighting back?
They won’t until upper middle class college educated white people start being affected. The Vietnam War didn’t become a controversial topic with this demographic until they started drafting college students. Once they start sending wealthier native born white people to camps for voting Democrat is when the fighting will happen on a national scale.
Funny, isn't it. All this time the left has yelled about those republicans who "only care about things when it affects them".
Uhhh this dude looks white.

(wtf how does code indentation work in this shithole??)
Same as Reddit. For each line of code indent 4 spaces.
I support this.

Serbia too while at it
Tell you what- the world can consider helping out when even one person out a couple hundred million American cowards lifts a single goddamn finger.
Literally multiple millions of people showed up for nationwide protests just over a month ago
And that changed what exactly?
Absolutely nothing- but shhhh… don’t say that out loud. You’ll upset the people who did fuck all.
Quote, Europeans who have fully relied usa support for defense for decades
I'll agree that that was a good thing to see. But that was over a month ago so I'll also ask what has happened since?
I honestly can't measure the exact impact it's had since just this month the Epstein cover up has overshadowed it in terms of how much Trump is struggling to be a president. We didn't even have a month between massive embarrassments.
Oh hey.
I can measure it.
They shot four high profile democrats that weekend. Two of them died.
They racked up a body count while you were congratulating yourself about the cute signs you made to take to the little parade on a Saturday. Good thing there wasn’t any rain or you might have had to cancel the thing.
We can have a discussion when you calm down
I remember trying to use “calm down” as a power move when I was in high school. I’m sure it didn’t at all telegraph to everyone in earshot that I was too fragile to face up to the discussion and too terrified to offer anything useful.
And what happened when they didn't get what they wanted?
That's right, they mostly moved on to the next shiny distraction, love island or whatever. It's time to revolt, and liberals still think going out with signs once a year is "protest"
Just because you don't see resistance happening on your pretty little television screen doesn't mean there isn't organizing going on in the background. And no, I don't mean protests.
What do you mean? Y'all still bitching Kamala Harris didn't win, is that your organizing? Are you organizing to elect Gavin Newsom next are should we give Biden another shot?
Describe the organizing you're doing, because I've found nothing but resistance to any organizing from liberals.
There isn’t.
Burden of proof is on you here.
A dozen or so people are in jail in Texas for allegedly vandalizing an ICE facility and firing on responding police.
It’s a start
Yea you’re right people shouldn’t organize. They should give up instead.
Yeah that's what I said.
"Organize" doesn't mean you find out there's a planned protest in a designated area away from everyone and surrounded by cops to make sure you're contained. That's performative.
Organize means building power from the ground up, knocking on doors, meeting in living rooms, cooking meals, making childcare plans, and finding the people in your community who are ready to fight and ready to love. It means strategizing together, planning direct actions that disrupt, not entertain power. It means understanding that the terrain of struggle isn't just symbolic; it's material. Streets, workplaces, campuses, and housing complexes become the front lines.
Organizing is about forming bonds that last beyond a single march, about mutual trust and shared risk. It's not just about showing up, it's about staying. It's not a hashtag, it's a commitment. It's not consent to be managed, it's consent to resist.
Don’t you dare question those lazy, servile Americans. They’ll downvote you and call you a keyboard warrior and demand to know WHAT YOU DID in response to their pants-pissing inaction.
No Kings was an absolute joke. Great job showing the fascists exactly how little a threat you are. If anything, that weekend’s biggest accomplishment was to embolden the far right. Call it what it is- you did a parade.
How many of those millions showed up armed?
k
It’s fine, I’d be embarrassed and defensive if I were you, too
k
Does the alleged green mario count?
Don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about- that guy is clearly innocent and nobody has stepped up to carry on the work he’s accused of having done.
Fixed it, my bad.
Yes, he very much does!
Love the keyboard warriors who would absolutely not do a single fucking thing themselves demanding others sacrifice themselves
You have NO clue. More people are ready than you would ever know. Now get back in your cubicle, your master is calling.
Oh, hey, found one
There's been a lot of effective action, and you'll never see it on the news.
Put up or shut up. Define “effective” and then prove it.
Define 'define' define up or define down then define it.
What part of "burn it down" did you take to mean helping America lmfao.
I'm sure there are unreported deaths in ICE custody
The douchiest of douchbags. This could participate in the asshole Olympics and get gold easily.
My favorite event is the prolapse hammer throw
Well, one difference is that all the shirts are made in China.
Don't worry.They'll learn a valuable lesson from the fallout from this and similar cases.
From then on, ICE will make sure their victims really are dead.
Come on seppos. Rise up already.
the actual fuck
