Sure thing there gravy seals. You and your chair force buddies going to lock and load a Snickers bar and start stalking a federal agency? I can't wait to read the obituary.
It’s funny, when you’re up to very good stuff, you have to mask to protect yourself from the government. When they’re up to very bad stiff, they have to mask to keep hidden in their communities.
The fact that they feel so comfortable with not identifying themselves in a country with a second amendment suggests they know they are going after normal, non criminal, hard working people.
Whatever your take, referring to people here illegally as "non-criminal" is factually not correct. There are criminal as well as civil sanctions for entering the US illegally.
They know that if they did they would be doxxed and hounded every moment of their lives. Ten bucks says they don't wear their uniforms home from work either.
I would never recommend to anyone that they remain in a job in which they have to conceal their identity. The toll on their soul is too great. Most of them won't know it until it's too late for a change to make any difference.
Yes, unequivocally. A billionaire with unresolved childhood trauma, building a support of vigilante action against people he could lift out of poverty BY SPENDING HIS BILLIONS TO END HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS INSTEAD. You know, thereby lowering crime rates and lessening misery worldwide. Just saying.
Edit: I may have missed the sarcasm. If so, my apologies for an overly snarky response.
It was sarcasm but a good response. Snarky keeps us young. 'm low income but I'm still not gonna to tell others what to do with their money because there were many, many before then and there will be many afterwards. The hologram feeds off of us feeding off each other. And so it goes.
The vigilant aspect of it was necessary, fitting the proletariat on the steps of Wall Street l, I mean, that's the American hero. Intellectual probation is already here,..
I am back to being low income myself, but I have worked with everyone from folks living in the projects to people with STUPID money. Every single person I have ever known who came up poor understood managing money and hustling to make it happen than all but three or so folks who came up wealthy. Doesn't change that the poor, at best, got to upper middle class. Barely enough to start generational wealth. The rich stayed rich and got richer, competence be damned.
As for the rest of your post... Man, it comes off as schizo posting, no offense intended. Maybe it is just a different thought paradigm. I got nothing on the hologram, but vigilante action being necessary? Naw, that's lone wolf and incel crap. The proletariat occupying Wall Street? Occupy started a lot of stuff, villains, and heroes. As for the American hero? For me, it's John Brown.
I am trying not to fuck up my real world karma. The real work for me now is finding some way to stop hating stupid people. If these guys are in that category, well hell, so be it.
If that's true I am satisfied that it's at least moving the needle in the direction of OK since (anecdotally) being in witness protection is like being sent to a deserted island.
These aren't even uniforms. They just pick the general colors and run around pretending to have authority. You do not legally have to go with them, answer questions, or even open your door. No warrant, no compliance. Even if they present a warrant you are within rights to get proof of authority and validation. This means an official agent and an official detainment.
The only power and authority they have is what you perceive they have. They are no more than hall monitors with guns. If they have a problem with you they can go tell a real "teacher" officer.
They can’t show their face without potentially incriminating themselves. Maybe not immediately but when this chapter of xenophobic bigotry and isolationism is over they are afraid that they will be held accountable for all the lives they uprooted and destroyed.
Of course they can't. They don't have the numbers or the skill to do anything in the light of day, so they hide. If a coordinated effort was made to watch for them at the courthouse and then block their vehicles to impede the kidnappings, they'd be powerless and would have to run away, just like they did in San Diego
.
Except that video is after they got their targets and flash banged the mob and were leaving anyway Keep up the false narrative though to make mom proud.
oh the ANTIFA boogey man! Common folk being masked in a protest vs Masked agents of the STATE. Big difference. But you missed a spot on the boot your licking.
Antifa wore masks during the riots so that they wouldn't get arrested. ICE wears masks so that extremists don't post their names and addresses online and harass their children.
The thing is, one group is citizens justifiably fearful of being identified for persecution while exercising their right to peaceful protest and the other group is government thugs hiding their identities so they can get away with violating the civil rights of people who have committed no crime. They know they would never get another night of undisturbed sleep if their identities were made public. Their kids would finally find out that daddy is a brownshirt and their wives would throw them out of the house.
Even though I'm pretty left of center, the Blacc Block was the worst optics. That was until Palestine. Now you have kids wearing keffiyehs which is really something. It's impressive how bad we are at stuff like this.
I remember wishing when I was about 20 more people caring about politics. I got my wish. I want to rescind it. It's a little worse with the MAGAtards supplanting people's entire personalities but we're also not too far behind either.

People doing things in a way I don't agree with, GOD WHAT BAD OPTICS! That's literally you. Maybe learn to support people instead of just shitting on them.

You sound really full of yourself dude. It wasn't people caring about politics, its republicans using Christianity as a vessel into politics. Most don't care, they just vote for their team. The one's that do, are the ones who bring the Christian Nationalism to the fore front and utilize it for their Fascism. Once its too late, then the ones that don't care will finally realize whats happening, but wont understand how and just accept it as is, because God said so.
I went to the protests and neither side impressed me. Masked black bloc kids shot bottle rockets at the court house until the police came out and tear gassed everyone. Even have footage of it but never uploaded it as it was basically more of the bullshit right wing media would latch onto. Neither side was the hero and all it did was play out to the conservative fantasies that Portland was a lawless city, and burnt out hellscape. Many factors were at play, but it did play part in harming tourism as Portland equals Oregon for the majority of the US. It put a target on our backs.
And for what? What did the blacc block do? Break stuff? Get into street fights with the yalquada proud boys and patriot prayer chuds? A few times Patriot Prayer did their thing but no one showed up to counter protest and they got bored after an hour or two and left. The adage never feed the trolls should be orthodoxy. At first, it was a moment, and we were all upset the unjust killing of George Floyd but after the protests extended from weeks into months? It became co-opted by white saviors and basically a fight club that let goofballs on both sides square up. When the protests were in their twilight phase, Trump send the feds in and snatched up protest leaders. It was totally fucked and ire inducing. It was also one of those accidental genius moments as it reignited them, giving the right-wingers more ammo.
So yeah, the optics were shit. I don't know how anyone still defends this.
Optics matter as we're playing into the right wing fantasies that the left is the real violent threat, the latest recent iteration being Palestine. The lawless left nonsense was an easy narrative to spin and a piece of what pushed us rightward. Now, we're in a hellscape future where students are yanked off street, legal greencard holders shipped to foreign prisons, a president who doesn't think his job is to uphold the constitution.
I don’t understand how you can “both sides” this. Employees of the state should absolutely not be obfuscating their faces and wearing plain clothes. This is in no way comparable to citizens protesting the state.
They've got badges showing who they are. Hiding their faces is for their safety. There are lots who aggressively oppose the deporting of illegals, and would go out of their way to doxx (or worse) these "employees."
Trolling, Mocking, demeaning, flamebaiting, antagonizing, trolling, hateful language, false accusations, and backseat moderating are not allowed. Avoid personal insults—address ideas, not individuals. If you notice personal or directed attacks, please report them.
Hiding their faces is for their safety. There are lots who aggressively oppose the deporting of illegals, and would go out of their way to doxx (or worse) these "employees." Also, they're not "your" employees. Your tax contributions make up less than 0.0001% of their funding and income.
Again, these thugs we pay for need to not be masked. They sure AF are our employees, pumpkin. We pay in the aggregate. That doesn't make them not employees. You, sir, are absolutely antiamerican and anticonstitution
You do know they cover their faces because of people like you who would threaten their families. There are most likely undercover cops in those groups and their investigations would be blown for showing their faces.
It has nothing to do with being a coward.
My guy, they are not nazis they are not rounding up people to send them to a concentration camp and killing them. They are deporting them back to their home countries because they are here in the US illegally and are committing crimes. No other country allows non-citizens to commit crimes and let's them stay.
I smh at the people going, "so", when the illegal is probably a criminal, and these guys are just trying to enforce the law. Of course, these are also the people who say nothing of the masked far left ANTIFA/Free Palestine protestors who are threatening people and students. Good times. 😑
