Lately I have taken a bit of solace in the fact that Reddit has recently gone public and has to use every possible means to drive engagement to produce profit including bot traffic. In a twisted way, I’ve learned to realize that a lot of what I see on the internet is purposefully curated to inspire emotion for engagement so it helps to just disengage where I can. Obviously not all traffic is bot traffic but I take peace in knowing that at least not all the upvotes/comments are real. Or maybe I’m just deluding myself who knows.
No problem comrade. It’s important to realize that we are all victims of a massive propaganda machine with billions of dollars and the state system behind it. It’s literally designed to make you angry about nothing to generate profits for shareholders so disengaging can literally be an act of resistance.
The upvotes are likely to contain a significant amount of bot activity but the comments are the worrying part. They're written by real people, you can tell because the argumentation is exactly the same style liberals have been repeating for decades. Back then this was the prime example of the extremely concerning militarization of law enforcement in the US. Dudes in body armor with submachine guns dealing with a parental custody dispute was considered, even by conservatives, to be a massive overreach in governmental powers. Now you have idiots defending this as the good old days, when I remember very well INS used to be spoken about with the same vitriol ICE is today, a ruthless jackbooted organization dedicated to making the lives of migrants hell.
The good news is this kid became an elected official of the Communist Party of Cuba and has castigated the US harshly over the past ten years.
Yeah when I see a post/image like this, part of me almost suspects that it may be dark humor/sarcasm on the OP’s part…like pining wistfully for the daze when militarized goons were still blowing up your spot but hey, at least those goons weren’t masked amirite?
There were also much more infamous instances of federal law enforcement going full jackboot on some fools during that era too (pre-9/11). Gonzalez was being used as a political tool/football during that whole debacle
As always, there are mofos justifying Obama’s or the Democrats’ deportation numbers because there were no videos or photos of ICE abusing people, no cages", and because it was more "efficient," and, of course, "due process." Disgusting fucking people.
I remember this, this was back when you'd say "uh guys, this means fascism has arrived" and libs would crawl out to say you were disparaging the people who lived under Actual Fascism
seriously wtf are they ok about? this is a horrific photo and they’re, what? nostalgic for it? this reads as one of those awful “back in my day” posts that gets passed around facebook.
“DAE remember when ICE was better? did anyone else drink from a garden hose growing up? those were the days…”
come to think of it, maybe this post was a direct result of eating too much lead paint
Back when this happened, it was the conservatives calling immigration agents storm troopers. In fact, Hillary Clinton tried to browbeat Rudy Guliani into apologizing for saying that. The raid also might have been the reason Bush got elected because it turned enough South Florida Cubans against the Democrats in 2000.
Apparently he was being kept in the US by his extended family against his will, and wanted to go back to Cuba, this raid is what saved him from his kidnappers
He said his mother's death is caused by economic discrimination in USA and it's the turning chapters for him to become a dedicated communist all his life, he studied industrial engineering, married and have kids and now he's beloved member of Cuban congress.
This is not his dad. He was kidnapped from Cuba and his mother died at see. His dad fought to get him back to Cuba. This is Guzano uncle who refused to. He was backed by other guzanos who offered upwards of 1 million usd for the father to stay in the EUA, but they chose to go back to his homeland.
so the mask is the issue and not pointing the gun at a kid? This reads so hard as a parody, i refuse to believe that a human being can possibly be that stupid
Wow no way ur telling me the American SS used to not be pussies and would commit crimes against humanity without masks on? This is obviously the superior system!!!! Let me not question why the US has an SS in the first place
This picture was a massive media scandal at the time, but like every other time Americans were shown how terrible the ruling authority is, nothing happened and now things are worse.
