They crashed into him, shot him in the back, pulled him out of the hospital, threw him in a concentration camp, made him sleep in the floor, and he still has the bullet in his back, this is torture

Until Americans rise up en masse and become justice. It will only get worse.

And my countrymen won't. And never have. American culture is founded on selfish single mindedness. The fascists could kill us all one by one, side by side and the dumb selfish bitch 10 ppl down would go, "Not my problem"; rinse and repeat.

Not true. There is tons of history of Americans banding together to fight elites. Even in the past 2 years there is. But yes the scale needed hasn't been achieved yet.
I still believe it could happen.
Unions in the us helped Americans enjoy work privileges that are being rolled back now. But despite that unions are gaining popularity. Anti union propaganda has been tough to overcome but people are starting to realize they aren't ever going to get their fair share unless they band together.

And that's what everyone who keeps saying "americans: fix your country" is still waiting to see.
You guys need to get past that "rugged indivisualist" mentality and work together en masse if you hope to regain control of your country.

find me the books you think challenge the fictional but sincere history of uncle tom's cabin, and the non fiction of Phillis Wheatley, no one is illegal, and Assata Shakur and Huey Newton's accounts of how disgusting this country is and ill give it a go. otherwise, this country is vile and so are the people.

Federal employees do not deserve peace. They don't deserve to sleep safe at night. They need to be targeted like the enemies of the people that they are

Like, even a NOAA meteorologist?
Bluedragon012@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
They report weather on delay (8ish mins) to the masses. Only the military gets latest info. However, some do just go with the flow and don't know that they could do it differently.
AviAdi@lemmy.world · -4 pts · 2d
Yes. Even the lowly TSA agent. The fact is they all took an oath to protect the constitution of the USA. Going to work and doing your job making the government function under this administration is not what the oath says. Trump is attacking the constitution and these people are being complacent.
Just my opinion. Everyone else thinks an oath to the constitution means nothing?
reptar@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2d
I disagree that all federal employees are currently violating their oath.

You would defend Nazis for just following orders wouldn't you?
reptar@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 2d
No, and my mail carrier isn't a Nazi
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
Neither is mine. At least I don't think she is, being all trans and whatnot. Safe assumption
AviAdi@lemmy.world · -6 pts · 2d
The best thing that the people in United States can do right now is bring the entire system of the United States to a halt. But because we are like you and make excuses we will be complacent and let fascism take over.
reptar@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 2d
Yeah sure, you've got it figured out: I'm just complacent Nazi defender, and the woman delivering my mail is a fascist. What's it like being so smart? It must be exhausting
AviAdi@lemmy.world · -6 pts · 2d
What if he starts throwing away mailed in votes after an executive order by the president? He'll just be following orders after all 😂😂😂

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you..." Well, if you insist, fascists. But we'll use salt and lemon juice for extra sting. Oh, and we'll use confederate army medical procedures to, like digging bullets with unwashed hands or shove it deeper... Direction is relitive after all.
The time to fight is upon us. Rise up!
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
The "do unto others" aphorism isn't just good advice, it's a warning that people will treat you how you treat them.

Biden managed to deport more illegal immigrants per year than Dump. I guess Putin's stooge is ordered on destabilizing his rivals USA and Iran

You got any source?
eldavi@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2d
also: google "deporter in chief" and you'll come to understand why ice is a thing
Serinus@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 2d
Unsure if it's true, but Biden and Obama did crack down on immigration, partly because they were trying to appease Republican voters.
It's why Trump doesn't have actual criminals to deport and is raiding home depot and Mexican restaurants to round up working-class brown people.
Enforcing immigration law is largely popular. The Democrats think some laws need to change to make the laws more reasonable first. (DREAM etc.) The Republicans are shooting people in the back for protesting them shooting other people in the back. The Republicans are interfering with people doing their best to follow the legal process.
Some people will tell you this means both sides are the same.

Even if that were true, it was never like this.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
Rant incoming
Krasnov and ice aren't really limiting their activities to illegal immigration. That is one part of why your statistic is true. like 80% (number pulled out of my ass based on conversations I've had with immigration lawyers) of the people ice have (illegally) abducted in the last couple years are us citizens or foreign nationals with their paperwork in order. Legal immigrants, if you'll forgive the term.
If all you look at is the gross numbers, it was worse under Obama and Biden. The specific "crimes" the immigrants are committing by merely existing are civil, not criminal. Giving criminal punishment for civil infractions is draconian and obscene.
I generally argue for a country to have as open borders and immigration as possible. Statesia is a country of immigrants (if your family immigrated here in the last 500 years, you an immigrant), and that is one of its major positives. Like, my favorite places to live are exurbs in the middle of farm country (you get a really good mix of rural and urban perspectives). New [and I wish I didn't have to say this, but non-nazi] perspectives are always welcome. At least locally, if not nationally.

I believe it was said Obama as well but it was more judicial and humane. As such it wasn’t publicized as much.
Not rounding people up off the street as is currently being done.
