Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Okay this is just a me, as a german with autism and history focus, thing, mixed with a pinch of macaber humor. But i always dislike when they are compared to the gestapo. ICE are villains alright, but not SUPER VILLAINS like anything the Nazis produced. The difference: PRESENTATION!!
ICE is rediculouse, just some fat low life looser thughs that a motion-disabled person could outrun
But yes i get why we compare them, brings the point across, both are fascists/nazis and SS is on a waaayy different level.
If ICE is that pathetic, how pathetic will be their attempt at an SS!?
Different note: i HOPE bernie outlives trump. I DO NOT want to witness what trump does when he gets this into his sausage pedo fingers
Ice is the SA the SS comes later
Yeah they are more SA
I don't know what your news filter is like, but these guys are far from comical. Yes, the first wave to arrive were a bunch of tubby Texans, but now they're going door to door in gangs of 'roided-up wannabe Rambos with full tactical gear and long guns, busting down doors and storming in like it's Iraq.
If you dont have a gun and you are outnumbered by a group with guns, ofc they are scary. They arent trained. They dont use tactics. Put them in a combat situation, an ambush, they wouldnt survive at all. The gestapo were trained in combat hand to hand, tech and fire arms. And that properly.
Take their armor and guns away and you once again only have "hubert your friendly neighborhood fascist"
Most of them are clowns, but a number are former military. And even then that's ignoring some of the real fucked up nazis who live in deep country
Edit: let me put it this way: you say if we took their guns away they would be nothing? Well, go take their guns away.
