    Why are they wearing camo in a fucking city?

    Why is camo worn in cities in general or why ICE is wearing camo?

    Cities aren’t big splotches of gray. Wearing camouflage still provides some benefit when within cities. Also, uniforms are no longer just the pattern, these uniforms would also reduce IR signatures to not be seen as easily by nighht vision equipment.

    Why ICE is wearing it? Surplus. The uniforms are easy to get and identify them as some form of federal agent. The alternative is a batch of one colour uniforms which would cost a lot or go plainclothes which I consider to be worse.

    Trying to find specific context on this guy, here's what I got so far: The picture was taken 14. October 2025 "around 11 a.m." in Chicago, "near 105th Street and Avenue N in the East Side neighborhood". The rest of the uniform indicates he's a member of a Special Response Team, whatever that is.

    What's the NS stand for though? Only thing that comes to mind to be labeled a nazi is "National Socialist"

    I spent too much time looking for what this patch might be and didn't find anything. The only patch I found with an NS on it was for Nova Scotia, which I have a feeling isn't what this is.

    With that said though, it's hard to say what this is. The lightning bolt isn't the same shape as the SS, but it is the same shape as a lot of military groups use. Who knows though. It could be a Nazi thing. They did use similar lightning bolts too I believe, just the SS one is quite different. It could still even be a reference to that, but trying to be slightly less obvious.

    ICE are all the raging assholes that constantly demanded violent responses to everything a minority or liberal did, or suggested nuking every foreign country for whatever perceived infraction, while safely behind a screen and keyboard. They refused to sign up for the military that would impose rules, expectations, and restrictions on them. Also, people shoot back at you if you get deployed. Can’t have that. Too scary. So they join ICE and get to beat up on those foreign people and piss off the libs while under State Protection, nobody gets to shoot back. They’re protected from consequences. Cowards and bullies.

    A lot of people posting this, I'm guessing sarcastically because it doesn't make much sense.

    I'm guessing it's "No survivors" because "ooooh, I'm such an edgy badass!"

    The SS fucks had a flat top and bottom, this one appears pointed. Anyway, close enough and most their ranks are filled with neo-Nazi turds.

    I think it's more likely that dude saw it and went "oh man that's fuckin siiiiiiccccccckkkkkk" probably has skull stickers on his truck too

    I want to note that this is exactly what that actual Nazis did when they stole symbolisms from various cultures including the rune ᛋ and of course the swastica. Both of which represent the sun.

    Related from my own defunct blog: Skulls in military symbolism are actually not particularly odd, as indicators of toughness and ferocity (and in Navy a nod to the Jolly Roger, which was partly an identifier of the pirate vessel, but also a call to surrender with the promise of quarter...)

    Discussing the M&W Are We The Baddies skit and the preponderance of skulls in Waffen SS kitch.

    If they're so shitty at being Nazis, can we call them "Notzis"?

    NS clearly signifies "national socialism" , i.e. what Hitler's party called their ideology. Don't evne worry about the lightning shaped rune in the center.

    If it looks like a "natzi" and smells like a "natzi" it's a "natzi".

    You're not wrong. One minor thing: if you're gonna spell it like that, why not "notzi" or "not-z" at that point?

    You dont have to look back very far to determine how this started on a low level, this is just aggresive inaappropriate counter-culture , 4chan internet troll, basement dwelling shitheel behaivor from the 90s and 00s but carried over into adult life

    Contrarians will always be contrary, so I guess being contrary to a boring "regime" that didnt particularly say or do anything except for ask for generic human rights for everyone, means cosplaying as the most offensive thing you can think of because it makes them mad, Cosplaying as Nazis and even doing the same thing the Nazis did with randomly and incorrectly co-opting norse iconography.

    They aren't Nazis just for contrarianisms sake, a large portion of the right wing in the US is inspired by and wants to emulate the Nazis and agree with their racist worldview. A lot of the people trolling and posting ironic racist stuff were just being edgy at some point, but many of them do agree with the things and just troll/joke as a cover.

    Is this really an SS style bolt? I'm genuinely asking. And I know a lot of bad faith dialogue starts with that. I'm mostly asking because I don't want to accidentally use something people view as an SS symbol. I hadn't seen anyone call this the SS bolt until a few weeks ago. I always associated the flattened tips with it more.

    I mean it's verbatim a black version of the lightning bolt ⚡ emoji on Android - so it could just as easily be that. I'm no fan of ICE, but we've got plenty to be mad at and fight them about. When the arguments seem trivial, we lose face in public opinion.

    They're using the wrong symbol: the rune ᛋ is not a lightning bolt ⚡. That old Norse symbol for sun ☀️ inspired theirs.

    Nazis need to get their symbols right. We also need to defend our thunderbolts ⚡ from confusion.
