    Obscuring your DOT number is illegal. I’m sure the police will definitely enforce that rule in this instance…

    Which tells you why it's so important to keep accurate notes of who's a nazi bitch and who's not.

    Area denial weapons. The name comes from the Old English "calcatrippe", meaning "heel-trap", which itself came from the French "chause-trape", or "shoe-trap".

    Their design ensures that they will always land with one spike pointing up, so they can be scattered in the path of advancing enemies to slow them down or injure their feet.

    For the record, I have never accepted this stance and have always stood against the excuse.

    Me, no. Corpo Amerika absolutely if it's profitable and low-risk. So which Lemmy "community" is the one where these corps are being ID'd (with all crowdsourced supporting evidence) and named and shamed?

    Why are mods deleting comments and locking articles?

    My comment was prefaced as being hyperbole and I said ICE should be held to account. What is this, Reddit?

    mods here in this comm are known fascist supporters. if you “dehumanize” a nazi they boot you.

    ICE should not only be held accountable but demolished.

    My comment was something like “this is purely hyperbole but more brave Americans should hold ice to account” in the post about the 10 arrested folks in Texas. I’m not being pedantic I genuinely feel if a person lives in a fascist state then the individual has a right to hold the state to account for actions the state commits. I don’t see why I need to kowtow and sympathize with ICE… I just don’t know how else to describe my feelings.

    From my understanding, that’s what has been removed, and why another thread about ICE officers being ambushed / shot by vigilantes on the 4th is locked.

    scabs. they’re the equivalent of scabs. are scabs at a labor strike ok with you?

    i’d like to continue our thread here. i am starting to understand something about your train of thought. see my scab reply and let me know what you think there. or here. either way.

    to me, the logistics trucker that puts his humanity at risk by trucking for the nazi camps is … I get it. he’s working class, paycheck to paycheck… but that’s a formula we’ve seen before huh?

    a scab in a nursing home or shipping dept or air traffic control is the same formula.

    remember, what the first nazi cohorts did was legal when they did it. the camps. the logistics. all of it. (except for that long knives thing)

    are we to forgive folks just following orders? just getting by? maybe the trucker is more human than the director of the camp, sure.

    i am still going to remind him and others, for the rest of their lives, they supported this “legal” monstrosity of death.

    Please look up the Paradox of Tolerance, also known as the Contract of Tolerance.

    Why are you defending the intolerant so hard?

    You need to understand, this isn't "adopting their tactics." This is "if you do not tolerate others, you no longer are protected by the social contract."

    You can opt out if you wish, but that has to cut both ways, or your contract of tolerance is worthless.

    I never said they don’t deserve human rights. I’ve said they are not human. They trade all humanity when they choose to be nazis. Why are you tolerant of nazis enough to not see this point as a repercussion of their own choices?

    You cannot dehumanize that which is not human. THEY dehumanize themselves. Look, I am not going to budge from this mindset. They are physically in meatspace human. But their hearts, minds, souls, and intentions are no longer such. They simply cannot be trusted let alone given an inch.

    Bottom line look you got a job to do. Calls for violence? Spams? Yadda yadda. Modding aint easy. But for all that is honest - stop pretending it is somehow important to remind people nazis are human too. “dehumanizing” is your thing, I get that. But look at your audiences and the replies you’ve “inspired” by your action.

    Yep they are some combination of ignorant, greedy, selfish, and cruel, but they are indeed human.

    And despite what this administration wants us to think, Latinos are humans too and most are not criminals.

    if I have been shown to toss a salute, support trump, pine for the good old blood and soil days, and or supply logistics to those doing those things, sure.

    as in, the persons in the original article.

    it is a choice to support them. a choice that makes you one of them.

    america is the bad guy on the current era’s world stage.

    stop making it difficult to call nazis out for being inhuman pieces of trash.

    they can be healed! but not by threads online. direct community action and a sprinkling of leopards eating faces will turn some around back into being human again.

    Okay thanks I will take your word that those “violent comments” were there, since you hold all the evidence. I’m an adult and know if calls for violence go too far, I don’t need a mod to hide stuff from me and delete and lock comments without explanation.

    That review hit the nail on the head: Why do all these people feel like they have to hide if they aren't doing anything wrong?

    They know what they're doing is wrong. They are doing it anyway. They want you to believe they are "just following orders" or "just following the money" but they know what they're doing. They are not your neighbor, your family, your coworker. Maybe they were once, but they've sold their soul and they are not that anymore.

    These people are irredeemable. They are the enemy of every good person on the planet, and the sooner everyone accepts that, the sooner we can do what is necessary to stop them. Fascism comes in all shapes and sizes and colors, it wears all sorts of flags and clothes, but it's still fascism down to the roots, it will kill or convert everything it touches into a tool for its own use, and it will use those tools to destroy everything good and kind in the world. Nevermind the woke mind-virus, this is the fascist mind-virus and it's absolutely real, we've seen it before, and we've seen what it can do.

    We must fight it again. They want us to feel helpless and hopeless, but we're not. We won last time, and we will win again. But be prepared to fight hard, because we'll need to.

    Seems like hiding the DOT number should be illegal. Why the fuck else would they have it on the truck in the first place?

    It is illegal, but that'd require them to enforce against themselves. As the regulators are federal (Trump) or state (Desantis).

    No need. When you see them doing anything illegal, report it. The local cops will have to investigate, and even if they don't issue a citation, or arrest them, their ID will be run, and the cop's camera footage is subject to FOIA requests. We can identify them without putting ourselves in danger, or alerting them that they are being watched.

    Isn’t a license plate also a unique identifier?

    And you can clearly see the company logos. Go after the bosses and owners.
