I genuinely do not consider that to be controversial.
Fascists should be afraid for their safety, as a general rule. When they’re not, it’s a problem. As we can see now.
Agreed, these are masked criminals and we have the right to share who they are.
And even if they weren't criminals, they're claiming to be law enforcement which normally requires you to identify yourself.
There's a reason why they hide their faces and want to hide their identities .... they know what they are doing is wrong. They're gambling on the idea that if their fascist government stays in place, they'll be rewarded ... but if their fascist government fails, then they can go back to normal society of no one knows who they are.
If what they are doing is justified, moral and can be easily defended, then they would have no need to hide themselves.
It should be trivial for a theoretical subsequent competent government to identify these people, but I've just about lost all hope that anyone will face consequences for doing fascist shit.
They should be allowed to grow and change like anyone else. This thread is so full of hate I dont know how anyone here thinks they are an example of a "good" citizen.
If any of y'all ran the government, we would be so much worse off right now.
They can grow and change in jail while they pay for their crimes.
If thats how our system worked I'd be fine with that.
Oh noes, people are hating fascists! We shouldn't let those fascist haters run the government, much better to let the fascists do it. Go lick some more ICE balls, you fucking rusty spork.
We can talk again when you grow up.
Any action taken against fascists is self-defense. Are you against self-defense?
The controversy is not that you agree with this, it's that some people don't.
The controversy is coming when this list is contraband.
Way more controversial that my tax dollars.oay people that are trying to conceal their identities...?
Like surely. I don't see an argument between clandestine tax dollars thugs and a desire to clarify that clandestine bullshit.
For the record, fascists will always project that they are afraid for their safety. Playing the victim is how they gain power. When one of them is targeted, it doesn't create fear to dissuade the rest, it empowers them to play it up for support.
The point is that we should MAKE them ACTUALLY afraid for their safety. If they’re playing victim anyways… make them actual victims.
As long as you accept that you are playing into their strategy to instigate a civil war which they've been working toward years, if not decades, sure.
Alternatively, we could opt to listen to experts on fascism, recognize the systemic issues that give rise to it (like economic instability and wealth inequality), make a concerted effort to address those concerns, win over the working class which the left has neglected for the last 60 years, and bring the temperature down for centrists thereby cutting off the primary weapon of fascism...
But we'll probably do it the dumb way.
Edit: for the record, I'm fully convinced there are psyops going on here on Lemmy, and the people like you trying to push us further toward violence and civil unrest are either them, or useful idiots helping them.
It already is a civil war. One side thinks having the moral high ground means not having to show up.
What you’re suggesting is a shaky strategy for fighting standard GOP misbehavior two, three decades ago. Wake up and look around.
I'm not trying to be mean, but I do think you need to hear this: touch grass. This is a big deal to Americans, but it's pretty much politics as usual for like 70% of the world. Recognize that the fact that we get to think it's a big deal is part of our entitlement.
I get it, trump is testing limits, he's got ICE rounding people up, he's trying to deploy the military into states, he's painting innocents as terrorists. And I'm telling you, it's not popular. He doesn't have the support to pull this off, he's doing what he's doing not because he's strong but because he's weak, desperate, and he knows it.
Right now, he desperately wants this to devolve into violence, because like any demagogue, he can't be a functional politician, he can only fight invisible enemies. He's trying to provoke a war in time for midterms. Don't give him what he wants. Stand united in peace with the vast majority of people who don't want this to continue.
ICE agents arent fascists. They are americans who want a high paying job. Its an awful job and only barely worth it with a six figure salary. If people took more of a stand against working there, they would raise the wages until people want to.
In a way its a good thing these people are mostly doing it for money, which won't much matter in a civil war.
You are clearly not paying attention to the crazy hiring spree ICE is doing, and the ads they’re posting to drive it, or the sort of people that they’re hiring, or their predominant beliefs.
Willful ignorance is a hell of a drug.
I know what they are doing, and I know the type of people working there. They are not unforgivable or unredeemable, as much as it makes you feel good to say so.
Lemmy and reddit both have a huge bias towards black and white thinking, which I think is shortsighted and immature.
If a fascist wants to become not a fascist, good for them, and yes, they should be embraced for turning their backs on that insanity.
That absolutely does not mean that fascists should be treated with kids gloves, or given the benefit of the doubt. Ever.
You get empathy when you walk away from that shit. Not before.
I simply dont think we should make them and their families scared to live in their homes. Thats not the point of all this, and its not going to change anyone's mind.
I will not condone what ia being done but I'm also not going to condemn the people doing it.
It must be pointed out that a lot of the people doing it, especially recently, are racist, fascist assholes. So yeah, I’m absolutely going to condemn the people doing it. And I think your attempt to morally fence-sit on that topic is at best comically naïve, and at worst deeply disingenuous.
This dude is clearly ice.
Billionaires are just following the american dream, they found a high paying job is all. Its not their fault they did evil things along the way!
Come on y'all, let's not pick on the poor fascists!
Are we talking about billionaires or ICE agents? ICE agents aren't billionaires.
This is how I know you’re debating in bad faith
I dont think you know what bad faith means. Its definitely not when you think someones contradicted themselves.
I asked who we were talking about again because this post and conversation is about ICE agents, not billionaires.
Unless there are some billionaires larping as ICE agents, then I dont see how thats relevant, and I dont care to start off on some tangent for no reason.
If you think I'm wrong though feel free to explain why.
Were talking about fascists...
Might as well be talking about nothing then, because your definition of who is a fascist surely won't match mine.
Do you have any comment about ICE agents or this post?
Just following orders
Yeah its unfortunate that people are susceptible to making actions against their own values. Fortunately people never stay the same and constantly grow and change.
Seems quite apologetic to somebody that would lock another living person in a cage.
Well I guess you just have never made a mistake in your life. Good for you, goodest boy/girl. I hope you get many pats on the head.
Real mature to minimize the act of irversibly ruining another human life as a "mistake".
Well, I'm mocking you, and you are immature, so I think I hit the nail on the head actually.
Honestly I think you just showed your ass here kiddo.
Oh no! You got me! My bare ass!
