    She sounds like one of the dumbest assholes you'd never want to meet. I'm guessing she has some deep emotional scars causing all that hate. Wouldn't surprise me if she's all love and Jebus on a Sunday though.

    It turns out that some people never mature mentally beyond that point, but continue to get older each year nonetheless.

    Until recently that sort of behaviour would have been quite a barrier to employment, but these days it's pretty much a prerequisite.

    #idiocracy was a documentary

    doesn't even make sense. In 1910s psychiatry, "idiot" meant 0-2 years, "imbecile" 2-7, and "moron" 7-12 in terms of "adults with x mental age" - they were degrees of mental disability. Obviously now defunct, archaic, depreciated - but they're calling the protestors "5 year old 12 year olds!"

    wow, good one.

    I wonder if they hired that Big Balls guy from Musk’s Hitler Youth squad.

    Edit: whatever happened to those kids? Are they titans of industry now?

    So this is how we can get the current administration to acknowledge unemployment numbers

    That does not matter to them. The far-right are completely unfazed by inconsistencies like that. In Sweden they started deporting immigrants -- well integrated, working immigrants -- because they had too low salaries. What was the limit? Higher than the collective bargained lowest salaries agreed on by the state and the union. Did the state raise the salaries then, because they just admitted they are too low to fucking live here? No. "Stay poor" is the message they want to give to citizens, and "go die" to immigrants.

    They are deporting people because their job doesn’t pay them enough?

    Who do they expect to do that job? Do they expect employers to pay more to the next person they hire? (Why not just increase the wage for the original employee?)

    They are deporting people because their job doesn’t pay them enough?

    Yes.

    Edit: Not only that. But when the state is the employer! (In a broader sense, at least, eldercare is regionally organized, not nationally)

    So since Sweden is part of EU and Schengen, it cannot deport EU citizens on this basis. So they tried to import EU citizens instead to fill the gap (who did not speak Swedish like the people they deported).

    It is the apparent inconsistency of the salaries being too low and too high at the same time which reveals what their intention is: racism. Do they think the salaries are too low? No, because then they would approach the public sector unions and say "we fucked up, here is your money". It is only too low for some people. For some people, it does not matter if they speak the language, have a job, or whatever. Some people just need to go.

    I just now compared this account on X to the DSHGov accounts on Threads and Insta.

    Totally different attitudes. X is by far the place for rude, childish posts like this one. Threads and Insta look like standard govt accounts. Not surprised.

    Hey, I'm gonna go out there and say plenty of them are Mr Garrisons. We see the same shit in any force. If you need headcount, offer the poor enough and they'll do it. Nit because they agree, but because shits so fucked they're being offered silver lining and more.

    Always send your energy toward the head of the snake. Those coordinating, those leading. ICE grunts are riddled with fuckheads, but some of them are not. ICE team leaders are guaranteed fuck heads. Up and up and up, the bigger the fuck headery. Aim for the head.

    Every force in history has socially worked this way

    you're both correct. we need the numbers to go after the top because class traitors trade their morals for $50k. they are complicit in genocide because they are so desperately hungry that they think this is the only way to survive to tomorrow. but by doing that they make survival harder for everyone

    It does for the time being , and will continue to do so, until the fascists are removed from power.

    Nope. If you're a member of ICE in the year 2025 you are an amoral piece of shit that deserves every bit of suffering the universe deals to you. "Just following orders" wasn't an acceptable defense 80 years ago and it isn't now.

    Honestly the only reason I'm not advocating for direct violence against these monsters is because it will only make the situation worse. Let them burn.

    Yes, leadership is to blame, but leaders are only leaders when people follow.

    What ICE is doing is not a secret. No one, not a single person, is forced to join ICE. They choose to do so. Everyday when they show up to work, they reaffirm that choice. You're argument is we shouldn't blame the agents for choosing to break apart families, attack people for their race, or kidnap children because the ICE agent needed a job? Fuck that noise. If your personal ethos allows you to destroy other people's lives so you can have a paycheck, then you are morally bankrupt, and I absolutely will blame you for what's happening.

    Sickens me that people are upvoting this and think this way. Oh won't someone think of the poor fascists. They need to provide for their families, so its okay for them to terrorize and kill indiscriminately.

    These are not golden-hearted dimwits who just need to see the light. This is not a Disney movie with a villain redemption plot. These are fascists, do you understand what that means? They take pleasure in what they do because they think they are purging mutants and heathens for the greater good. The paychecks are a bonus. They are not using them to provide for their beaten children and raped spouses, they are using them to buy bigger guns to slaughter more "others"

    You want to stay on the fence about fascism, go ahead. I can't stop you, I'm just text on the internet. But you are doing tangible harm to real people in this world by trying to white wash what is happening and giving a pass to the people making it happen.

    I would be surprised if they actually went to Texas. They say cities in red states, but strangely they seem to never go. Hmm…

    They want to do this in Democratic areas to hopefully ultimately reduce the number of voters.

    Edit: I am no longer surprised :(

    They’re here, in Houston at least. Red state but the big cities are blue. The people in Houston have no love for this shit.

    ICE Houston makes over 1,500 arrests during 10-day operation

    U.S.-born Houston teen says ICE agents beat him and his father during early-morning stop

    And just 1 example showing how we really feel about it:

    Yes I believe they're coordinating with Abbott. Basically, "We don't want to hurt you, Greg, but there are tons of brown people in your state who aren't self-deporting. Where are your political enemies concentrated?".

    Abbott hates Houston…he loves that this is happening. No coercion needed, trust me. He’s just as evil as Trump, Miller, etc.

    Every election he tried to put in new measures to make it more difficult to vote in the more populated counties because he knows it’s only a matter of time before the folks in the cities boot him and his asshole friends.

    Every time I see a quote with his name attached to it I know it’s going to be something a fifth grader might say.

    People in the future legitimately won’t believe how stupid, trashy, and unethical these people are.

    As an aside, this would be the DHS person and not him. It’s always impressive how many phenomenally stupid people work for Trump.
