After the gestapo shot and killed Renee Nicole Good on January 7 during a fascist attack on Minneapolis, hegemonic media reacted by blaming Good for her death, saying it "was her own doing” and attacking her character by labeling her “a perpetrator” and “trained agitator.”

Quick question:

If being in front of or near a car and it supposedly driving towards you is sufficient reason to kill someone in self-defense, what's to stop someone standing in front of a moving ICE car and shooting the occupants in self-defense?

    Rules for thee but not for me

    They know it. Accusing fascists of hypocrisy accomplishes nothing, because they're not playing by the same rules as us. There is no logic to it, just projection of power. The more the strongman and the regime lies, the more power they have. They're not lying to be believed, but to say "What are you gonna do about it?"

    The argument that they are going to use is that ICE is law enforcement and disobeying their orders, whether conflicting or not, is unlawful and thus you deserve whatever happens to you

    no no, you're entirely right.

    I will point out that the "tread on me harder daddy" phrase doesn't necessarily mean they knowingly condone it (treading on "us"), only that that is objectively what it is from the outside regardless of how they perceive or intend it

    but the distinction in their thought process is important in understanding their actions
