Fascists should be afraid for their safety, as a general rule. When they’re not, it’s a problem. As we can see now.

And even if they weren't criminals, they're claiming to be law enforcement which normally requires you to identify yourself.

There's a reason why they hide their faces and want to hide their identities .... they know what they are doing is wrong. They're gambling on the idea that if their fascist government stays in place, they'll be rewarded ... but if their fascist government fails, then they can go back to normal society if no one knows who they are.

If what they are doing is justified, moral and can be easily defended, then they would have no need to hide themselves.

For the record, fascists will always project that they are afraid for their safety. Playing the victim is how they gain power. When one of them is targeted, it doesn't create fear to dissuade the rest, it empowers them to play it up for support.

As long as you accept that you are playing into their strategy to instigate a civil war which they've been working toward years, if not decades, sure.

Alternatively, we could opt to listen to experts on fascism, recognize the systemic issues that give rise to it (like economic instability and wealth inequality), make a concerted effort to address those concerns, win over the working class which the left has neglected for the last 60 years, and bring the temperature down for centrists thereby cutting off the primary weapon of fascism...

But we'll probably do it the dumb way.

Edit: for the record, I'm fully convinced there are psyops going on here on Lemmy, and the people like you trying to push us further toward violence and civil unrest are either them, or useful idiots helping them.

I'm not trying to be mean, but I do think you need to hear this: touch grass. This is a big deal to Americans, but it's pretty much politics as usual for like 70% of the world. Recognize that the fact that we get to think it's a big deal is part of our entitlement.

I get it, trump is testing limits, he's got ICE rounding people up, he's trying to deploy the military into states, he's painting innocents as terrorists. And I'm telling you, it's not popular. He doesn't have the support to pull this off, he's doing what he's doing not because he's strong but because he's weak, desperate, and he knows it.

Right now, he desperately wants this to devolve into violence, because like any demagogue, he can't be a functional politician, he can only fight invisible enemies. He's trying to provoke a war in time for midterms. Don't give him what he wants. Stand united in peace with the vast majority of people who don't want this to continue.

MAGA is gaining ground against you every fucking day and has been for years with zero opposition.

People like you are the reason.

“I’m not trying to be mean.” 🤣 of course you’re not- you’re not capable of it. If you were, you might have a shot at being useful. I promise you nobody is horribly hurt by milquetoast “mean words” from a coward who won’t lift a finger to stop his neighbors from being kidnapped.

3

First off, Trump is one thing, but MAGA is losing ground. Source. As soon as trump entered office, the MAGA movement stalled and has started trending back down. This is because he's been given the every lever, and as expected, he's botching it.

Second, you're interpreting what I'm saying in the way you want to hear it. Absolutely go protest, get naked and stand in front of a tank, douse yourself in oil and set yourself aflame on the whitehouse lawn, sound the alarm so that everyone hears through all the noise. And like always: defend yourself and those around you from criminals using whatever means you have.

But we are at the ideal time to appeal to MAGA. Look at all the Republicans breaking from him over the shutdown. MAGA is to the right what Occupy WallSt was to the youth before the rich steered it back to a left/right old/young thing. There are systemic problems, and people are seeing that targeting the "woke" isn't going to solve it. They are soon going to be forced to demand working solutions. He can only blame Biden for so long.

Of course, nothing i say will convince some people. There are a class of horny idiots who desperately need to act on their frail emotions, give trump what he wants, and go out in the streets with MAGA to aggressively suck each other off. You are free to be in that group if you want, but know that you're not helping anyone but yourself and the fascist movement. (Of course you and I both know that the only fingers you're lifting are from your keyboard to downvote someone you disagree with 🤣).

We cannot address any of the root causes of fascism while fascists control all the levers of power.

The fact that we're able to have this conversation means we still have the power that matters most. And the fact that they hold all political offices means they get blamed for any unrest. It's why every incumbent in every election in the world in 2024 lost support, and it's why trump is so afraid of the midterms.

Meanwhile, Bernie and AOC are holding successful rallies in southern states, and local candidates like Graham Platner are gaining traction. The right has spent decades shifting blame away from the rich, and it seems people are finally getting wise to it. It sucks that they had to see how bad it could get with their own eyes before figuring it out, but that's just how humanity works, it seems.

True, nobody controls the circumstances of their upbringing, but they do control how they react to them. Like MOST people, I internalized a strong moral code that would never let me do many, many things just for the money.

You seem to think that ICE agents are some kind of desperately poor unemployed people who are taking the only job they can get. I have been extremely broke in my life, I was one of those people that lost EVERYTHING in 2008, our house, car, everything. I still didn't resort to doing anything immoral to feed my family. If being an ICE agent has been an option, not only would I have rejected it, but so would my family.

ALL of those ICE agents grew up in the same nation I did, had the same access to education I did, and could have internalized the same moral code, but either they didn't, or they are deliberately choosing to ignore it now. That's not "privilege," that's sociopathic.

As for "building bridges," that might be the dumbest thing you've written in all your posts. We aren't trying to build bridges. These people are truly evil, the same rootstock that produced the Nazis, and there is no appeasing them, no cooperating with them, no working with them.

It's absolutely bizarre that you are arguing for the humanity of Americans, when that's not your position. Your argument is for the "humanity" of those within law enforcement wanting no consequences for their actions.

It's very naive to think this isn't troubling for EVERYONE in the US, not just the alleged foreigners (who, in many cases, are completely legally in your country and have done nothing wrong).

The US is a imperial nation, so I have every right to comment on your politics, as a vassal of the US.

The fact that these gestapo fucks all wear masks and are hell bent on not being identified gives cause to believe they require identification.

Im not sure about the MLK comment in particular, may have misremembered on that one. But he did get assassinated 1 month before he was set to kick off the Poor Peoples Party.

Im not sure what you missed re:Black Panthers

The other thing I didn't mention previously was the amount of violent actions taken against citizens. Rainbow Coalition attacks, bombing a neighborhood, Kent State, and that's just the Civil Rights era.

Doxxing isn't inciting violence, its identification. Ive been doxxed before and i never felt threats of violence were coming my way.

Beyond that, I've never incited violence in any way like you're describing. Maybe the fascists should be less violent if they're worried about violent reprisals though?

Yes, it'll all be about "unity" and "healing".

Note that even in Germany post WW II, where a real effort was made and at least the official line was uncompromising, the large majority of Nazis and their ideas in politics, society, law, industry GOs and NGOs died slowly of old age over the next 50 years. Without that effort, even a future Democratic president (if even possible) would just be a waiting game for the next Trump.

Most of them are tied to the american dream, which says that you can never earn less than you have before or else you are a failure. Its why a lot of people here simply won't adjust to lower levels of income, they'd rather be unemployed. This leads to peolle feeling trapped and limited in job choice. They'd rather work for ICE than to downsize their house or car, but only barely.

ICE agents are not happy. They are paid incredibly well, and thats it. If order actually breaks down, they are just as likely to fight against tyranny than for it. They are just like any other citizens.

Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn wants the identities of federal officials carrying out President Donald Trump’s deportation campaign to remain secret for security reasons. To that end, she introduced the Protecting Law Enforcement from Doxxing Act, which would make it illegal to publish the name of a federal law enforcement officer with the intent to obstruct a criminal investigation or immigration operation. Skinner, for his part, has proposed the opposite: to publish as many names of the officers and their collaborators as possible.

This list is for future prosecutions, and as such doesn't run afoul of this proposed law.

lemmy.today

It doesn't matter that they've been convinced. I have access to all the same media, and I haven't been convinced to join in with abusing people.

That's because I have good Critical Thinking Skills, and I use them, especially to guide my morality to follow what I know is right, and not just what my worst emotions tell me. If I start to feel bigoted towards someone, I have the self-awareness to recognize it, and direct my thinking in a better direction.

MAGAs, and other stupid people, just accept their bigoted feelings, and act on them. Good people will suppress those feelings, and substitute moral and ethical thinking instead, and train their brain to think that way. It's harder that just reacting to your emotions, but becoming a mature, positively-comtributing member of society takes effort.

So I don't accept excuses like they needed the money, or they were only following orders, etc. They knew what they were signing up for, and most, if not all, did it because they saw a chance to wield evil power over vulnerable innocent people.

They are evil people, and defending them is evil as well.

You dont have access to the same media they do, thats not how it works with technology these days. Honestly, all I see is you trying to convince yourself you are a good person.

with the intent to obstruct a criminal investigation or immigration operation.

Intent is often one of the hardest things to prove in court cases anyway, often requiring additional sources of information to assess state of mind (mens rhea). At least, in a society where law matters. That said, if we assume US law matters at all (which you should never assume considering its historical actions), the stated goal of the site is for future prosecutions, as you've said and I agree.

A lot of the confusion comes from the fact that the FBI refers to is personnel as agents, whereas "agent" means something entirely different to the CIA.

CIA agents aren't employees of the CIA, but are people in other positions that are being used by the CIA. This can include informants, spies, etc.

ICE isn't law enforcement. It is Trumps private thugs. Much like the SS in Germany.

The "law" they're enforcing is Trump's edicts. Immigration law as it's existed for some time doesn't call for this kind of action. Trump doesn't get to write law, that's for the legislature. He's there to carry out and enforce existing law, not create it, not reinterpret it, not ignore it, and CERTAINLY not to gaslight the American people about it.

The way Trump treats law is literally un-American.

Lick that boot harder.

We have plenty of videos naming and shaming cops who violate our civil rights, often times in deadly violations, and they're all doing just fine and none of them faced anything more than sometime justice for the inhumane and civil rights violating actions.

No, it's not. But you really should take advice and pick up a history book. There are a terrifying amount of parallels with ICE and literally every single dictator's secret police, not just the Gestapo.
What you remember from history is the endgame of this, and we're not there yet. If you want to get the comparisons you need to read a little about how things got to the point where millions of Jewish people (and others, mind, it wasn't only Jewish) were genocided.

If it's the same project then they are using AI to reconstruct faces, finding matches on social media, then they scan the social media for real evidence. Something like parallel construction or fusion centers except they start with synthetic "evidence" before discovering real evidence.

They take advantage of the fact many people don't realize you can easily bring up someone's Facebook by scanning their face. I don't think they can find ICE members who are secretive and careful, but it's unlikely many ICE members are that meticulous.

Nope. Same as any other random person on the internet, they have no third party fact checking, they have no incentive to be honest and truthful, and their motivations could literally be anything.

It could be a honeypot to pull everyone who visits the site. It could have non-ICE agents in the database to try to incite violence against non-ICE agents. It could simply be a list of a persons enemies from highschool.

It could also be legit, but I'm not going to take the effort to figure it out, because I dont think its that useful of a website even if it is real.
