I was talking to my friend the other day about how a massive EMP strike would ultimately do our society some good if we had to interact with our communities and neighbours again for necessities and entertainment again.
Absolutely. And I in all likeliness would also die. It would be a great tragedy. Maybe one that would cause humanity to step up. Start cooperating to fix this.
Most of the scenarios I see on the world scale right now involve me dying or living in slow decline to poverty as the world changes. Maybe I’m just being pessimistic but it doesnt feel like it.
One of the best days I had in college was when the hurricane knocked out power so me and the neighbors had a drunk chess tournament (you lose a piece, you take a sip. End of the game, finish the can. Drink of your choice but one of the neighbors had a cooler of coronas they were sharing so that and water's what post of us drank. I was smoking sassages for the group. Probably won 2 games?) We all just hung out, playing chess, listening to music, eating sassages, drinking corona, and waiting to see if the hurricane was going to give us bad weather again all half expecting to drunken scramble into one of the ground floor apartments if shit started flying. It did not and we all eventually went home and to bed. Most of us never really hung out before then, and some of them I never saw after.
When you finally denazify, please do it properly. Otherwise they and their ideology will fester in your institutions like a cancer, waiting to return when the time is right.
That county is clueless and hopeless.
Just look at how they still adore the Drone King Obama, mass-murderer and Deporter-in-chief.
The scumbag now hypocritically criticizing ICE, while he expanded it.
LOL the typical dumb american.
Can't say anything about the other asscheek of you uniparty without being called that.
Pathetic, I hate all of you scumbags, get it now?
Yeah, but this talk of "weeding out" and "denazification" will only create more violence. You guys need to learn to chill.
Who will you "weed out" anyway? Trump? His inner circle? ICE employees? Those who support ICE? Those who support Trump?
All this tough talk does nothing but escalate the situation. The US really needs to learn how to be a functional democracy again. And no, that does not involve "weeding out" anyone.
They should be classified as terrorist organisation and in case any of those fuckers steps on European soil, they should be arrested and trialed as war criminal. Fuck those fucking assholes, I hope everyone of the ICE staff dies the most painful death.
People pretending abolishing ICE makes sense: as long as the laws in their area of enforcement exist, you understand that makes absolutely 0 logical sense, right?
You also understand the real problem is the administration abusing authority delegated through the presidency?
That doesn't end by abolishing an agency?
They can move resources or personnel anywhere in the executive branch?
Hello?
Any critical thought anywhere?

Tear down the system that lead to a militarized police force and nation-wide surveillance? Nonono, that's crazy talk.
frisbird@lemmy.ml · 17 pts · 210d
That system? The United States of America.
defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 210d
More accurately, capitalism.
Any system that involves people having power over other people is inevitably going to end up like this.

That's true, but I suspect you're going to miss the many people who are going to die as a result.

Every time I’ve moved I always make an effort to be friends with the neighbours, with varying rates of success.

Racism and class war, for example? Absolutely, but those will take a little longer.

Abolish ICE and then prosecute them. Or the other way around, not that important.

They won't, Dems paved the way and they liked it just fine.
No 2 white people got shot.
bryophile@lemmy.zip · -5 pts · 210d
Good point but what does it mean?
Any move against them, especially penalising them, will evoke a counter reaction. The ideology will linger on and fester.
How do you decide who to "weed out"? Does it come down to removing all Trump supporters? That will create more tensions..
trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 210d
At least weed them out in all public institutions. Not like it was done in post WW2 Germany, where they were pretty much all left in place.
Drusas@fedia.io · 6 pts · 210d
The US doing largely the same after our civil war is a huge part of how we got into this mess.

They are murdering people in the streets with impunity. You are way beyond the "creating more tensions" stage.

Worth remembering that both of the most recent fatal shootings were carried out by border patrol officers. It doesn't end with ice.

Mentally adding "only" to a leftist slogan is a bad faith interpretation.
