Masked thugs kidnapping people, including PhD students, off the street and into unmarked vehicles.

Yeah, I'd say ICE has some things in common with the KKK.

Also, the burned look works well on that building.

[–] stefenauris@pawb.social 4 points 2 hours ago

And I was just thinking I never really hear much about things in New Mexico. Good job guys!

[–] MasterNerd@lemm.ee 20 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I find it hard to believe anyone would actually equate ICE with the KKK when the only thing they really have in common is racism. They're much more equatable to the Gestapo and KGB

I wonder if someone parked a Tesla next to the HQ. They seem to have a habit of spontaneously combusting.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago

Excellent. Only 52 more to go

[–] RaptorBenn@lemmy.zip 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

They needed a stencil for their tag?

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 hours ago

Makes it faster to place.

Also makes it re-usable in multiple places quickly.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago

Now they are fighting ICEIS

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 21 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The reason why the fascists want you to protest peacefully, is because it makes it easier for them to ignore you.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 7 points 7 hours ago

Also, easier to shoot you if you're unarmed.

Peaceful protests exist because the next step is citizens asking their governments less nicely if their demands are not heard.

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 6 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

I get that, but I feel this was a false flag.

I mean, did someone really cut stencils for this?

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago

did someone really cut stencils for this?

Using a stencil means they can leave their mark quickly (with less chance of being stopped), and repeat it in multiple locations just as quickly.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Looking at the stencils they look to have been cut pretty amateurishly

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 0 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

False flags usually happen before the blatant power grab, not after it.

[–] IfIonlyhadaBrain@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

So be prepared for some insane otherwise blatantly illegal, un-American, anti-democratic, fascist shit? Also known as another day of the trump presidency?

We have not reached the floor. I don't see mass daily protests or armed insurrection. Apparently we're all ok with this so far. When the fascists have pushed so far that people will sacrifice some comfort and safety to do something about it is when we reach the floor. Right now, people are still too comfortable.

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 3 points 7 hours ago

before the blatant power grab, not after it.

You aint seen nothing yet... Wait for martial law.

[–] The_Caretaker@lemm.ee 80 points 19 hours ago

A reminder to people who call this an act of violence, it isn't. Violence can only be committed against living things. This is arson which is a type of vandalism. If there are people or animals inside, then it's violence. If only property is damaged it's vandalism or sabotage, depending on the purpose of the damage.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 17 hours ago

Now that's the kind of direct action I like to see!

[–] KanataLemmy@lemmy.ca 52 points 21 hours ago (6 children)

Finally lighting fire to the right things...

reading the last quote in that article i'm 75% convinced it was an inside job to create a scare tactic to brainwash more republicans. talking about democrats from the 1860s in INSANE

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 14 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

false flag, reichstag? same tactics. its a sound bites for fox, and for the right wing grifters to rant about.

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Just don't leave fingerprints on the bottle :)

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago (8 children)

I’m thinking this was a false flag attack

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 2 points 5 hours ago

Republicans are crisis actors.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

Usually the false flag comes before the flagrant abuse of power to justify it.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 hours ago

Reichstag fire was my first thought... Hopefully not.
