Ok maybe I missed something, um; I comprehend that dhs/ice are generally hired for their heavy psychopath profile, I was additionally saying that this action was likely at the direction of a superior, specifically. That’s the joke. That’s it.
As in, this is intentional agitation meant to further foment a violent response, declare martial law, try to cancel elections, and so forth. Guess there’s no reading between the lines here though.
Anyone wanna take bets on paid actor?
edit: I’m saying they’re agitating on purpose here and I’m downvoted? Do I need to spam /s next time?!
edit 2: Looking at response/comment chain makes me fucking ill. Didn’t realize lemmy had been completely invaded by astroturfers and russian bots. And at this time we’re up to 30 fascist sympathizers! Just, ugh.
GIGN, SAS, KSK, and any other non US special forces, I believe you have just received a new mission!

Yes I think the point is just a shit ton more than the human brain, generally.
Yea it seems like a lot people don’t want to face the fact that US politics are a theatre drama. And of course they also presume that you’re implying that means one shouldn’t vote, indeed a dangeous (and irritating) assumption. I believe one should vote based on a politicians actions and character, and try to notice when they’re bought and performing. The preponderance of evidence that anyone with any power is bought out is defeaning.
Yes I understand and would not discourage voting. Its currently the only way to have any influence at all. Whole system needs to be turned over for anything to meaningfully change; vote as much as possible and get thoroughly educated, just don’t expect politicians to do anything helpful when they’re already owned by money.
The sooner every American realizes that there is NO ONE in the government with the desire and the power to help us, the better.
Edit: VOTE and be educated, but don’t expect anyone therein to be accountable and reponsible. Get ANGRY about that.
Replace the word weirdo with terrorist and I’m with you.
It occurs to me that I’d argue we’re heading towards a forced scarcity society rather than post scarcity. That’s the only way they can make sure we don’t get a Star Trek type future if/when we figure out fusion power. Hell, we’ve already basically been able to feed everyone for ages.
Yes I’m seeing a propensity for people to get stuck on one end of this spectrum or the other, and it seems to be good at inhibiting judgement or leading to some extremist belief. And unable to separate historical events from current ones and appropriate reactions therein, poisoning any dispassionate or rational discussion. This is a good example: https://lemmy.world/post/41392385?scrollToComments=true
