    May I propose to call those mf Sturmabteilung/SA?

    They are no secret police, they are paramilitary brown shirts. Fucking literally.

    Thanks, a german

      As an American who has actually studied WW2 history, I’ve decided which to use myself, but here’s the reality : the US is fully a police state. Our regular local/county/state police all play para-military as well. Since those enforcers are going to be the most common interaction they most citizens would experience, I personally decided to refer to them as SA/Brown Shirts since they largely act as thugs.

      So with local police acting as brown shirts, I think it makes sense to refer to Feds (in general) and ICE specifically as Gestapo especially since their primary MO is to disappear people.

    That’s means they KNOW they are in the wrong and fear the day they will be forced to be accountable for their actions.

    The Nuremberg Defense didn’t work for the Nazis and it won’t work for you dumb fucks. We will all relish the day you get what you deserve and until then know that you are all scum, that we hate you, and wish you nothing but the absolute worst.

    Everyone else, I hope you are having a decent day! Stay hydrated!

    These are the same people who go to play videogames and claim leftists wouldn’t survive a Call of Duty lobby.

    My dude, your higher ups are calling people calling you a big stupid doo doo head “verbal assault”. You’d evaporate in an actual CoD lobby.

      The thing with the CoD lobbies of 19 years ago compared to today is that they are filled with the same players. Only now they have boring jobs, cholesterol medications and just want to put a game on to relax, it’s like what a bar would have been like 20 years ago. It can get rowdy, but mostly it’s civil and passes the time between chores and problems.

        If you play SND you still hear a lot of trash talk, it’s just way more tame, and even in the lobbies of today those mfs would literally evaporate. Their entire thing about “snowflakes” and “facts do not care about your feelings” is projection.

      Maybe the dems should have taken the threat seriously instead of presenting a candidate that promised fuck all. We wouldn’t be in this situation if the Democrats pushed progressive policies instead of promising “stricter border control” or “most lethal military”.

      Yes, I voted and I have voted in every election I have been able to except for a few off-years where nothing was on the ballot except local tax measures. For good measure, I typically vote straight D with the odd independent for things like mayor or city council.

      In a lot of ways yes, but not enough to write off the dems entirely. If they grew a spine before white people started getting slimed by the pigs I’d respect them a lot more, but at least they are doing something now.

      No more than you. Do you do anything to get us out of this or do you just spend your early mornings responding to hypothetical ideas of people asking them if they voted?

          I voted, but do you really think its mattered since technology entered the voting booth? I for one, dont. Its completely rigged. It was likely rigged with paper ballots, but it was probably a little harder to do. Just my opinion. Ill still get off my ass and do the song and dance to vote though.

      I’m sorry, WHO decided to appeal to “moderate republicans” that DO NOT EXIST, decided to campaign with DICK FUCKING CHENEY, and completely ignored everyone’s pleas to stop Israel from killing children and then did to students protesting literal genocide the exact same thing ICE is doing to immigrants right now?
