    I don’t oppose putting down those who sold their souls to be murderous dogs, who took a paycheck from the empire to let go of whatever little humanity they had and oppress the innocent. Ofc not, if I could snap my fingers and do it I would, this is as black and white as it can be.

    Having said that: imagine some ICE agents get taken out here and there, how would that evolve? Wouldn’t it just give the government and its MAGA supporters enough ammo to spin it and send even more militarized goons? Didn’t the government just approve like a billion dollars, no joke, for ICE? And how would Americans organise? Come on, now, that’s a bit of a fantasy, the racist, hateful villains, who are too propagandised for independent thoughts, are united by default. Honestly, I think anyone who cares about themselves and their families should, just like many have across the globe when facing imperialist aggression, get a passport and seek a way out. Shit’s uncomfortable but that’s life, what do you think most immigrants, running away from Western imperialism usually, have been doing? 🤷

      The right broadly is entirely about image and aesthetics, not principles.

      We keep projecting the idea onto them that all this evil and destruction we’re seeing is somehow based on a principle or an idea or some big plot. Nope, they don’t care about meaning behind anything, they don’t care about history or tradition or values, they just want to make the people who make them uncomfortable go away.

      More likely to melt her down and try to profit from the scrap metal. There are a lot of chuds who would like a piece of Lady Liberty. 🙁
