It’s helping because instead of government propaganda about violent antifa terrorist protestors with video and photos to support it, you’re reading about a non-violent protest to violent fascist government actions.
Okay, so do something straight up illegal not this disgusting performative shit where you smile and laugh as you’re having fun while people are being killed.
People are being killed every day and yet people - including yourself, I’m sure, continue to enjoy their days openly. Or are you miserable and unhappy in everything you do on a day to day basis?
I’m in agreement that the example in the video is weak and performative, but it’s funny to me that these calls for Americans to “DO SOMETHING!!!” always come from those who aren’t going to be the ones making any meaningful sacrifice. It’s keyboard warriors all the way down.
At least these people are letting ICE know they’re still there and paying attention. What have YOU done to help the fight against ICE?
It’s your country, being committed by yourselves, and it’s your responsibility. Who the fuck else in the world do you think could do this except for those inside it, running it at every level of society?
Not my country, thanks. I figured the lemmy.ca might’ve been a hint but that would require paying attention.
You might not be able to directly protest outside of the ICE office, but to say you can’t do anything just reaffirms my point. You CAN do things from outside of the US. You could be helping set up databases of ICE agents, you could target their networks, you could organize with people who ARE in the US, etc.
Instead you go online and tell others how to act or protest. Take your own advice and do something effective if you care about this issue.
Oh you can, you just won’t. It’s easy to talk big about valiant sacrifice when there’s no risk to you. Remind me again when did Australia solve all it’s problems and we’re those solutions gained at the end of a gun?
You already know I’m not physically there, so how do you propose I do?
And classic, you lot always descend into whataboutism as you struggle to defend your inaction. You might have had a point if we had literal fascists in power abducting people off of the streets and into camps.
Is not 13bce, you can get on a boat or a plane and come here and or that boisterousness to the test. My net is you won’t because talking tough is more fun then actually having to be tough.
That’s not whataboutism, you could Sacrifice your life for your country today, you won’t but you could because again is fun to talk big but less fun to try to actually do and risk yourself.
As far as I’m aware we’ve never spoke before but I do love some ad hominem, keep at it maybe you’ll actually put your money where your mouth is but again. I’m betting not.
The thousands abducted and unaccounted for and 60,000 in ICE camps probably aren’t having as good a time as this lot is. Look at all those smiles!
I am not sure how much this is helping the anti ICE movement optics wise either.

There’s only so many ways to annoy federal law enforcement that aren’t straight up illegal.
In this case they’ve already banned prayer so they moved into aerobics and when that gets banned they’ll probably do tai chi or something.

You first homie.
Would if I could champ.
