These complete morons will not have food if these people do not pick the food.

Gaza is the testing grounds for what life is about to be like in the West. Starvation will be used as a weapon eventually, and who's gonna stop them?

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

who’s gonna stop them?

I guess we'll be finding out in LA.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 7 points 11 months ago

I believe the front will be a little Bigger then just LA after a few days.

There are nationwide protests planed on the fascists bday and he already promised to send the military to any form of protest.

I believe the front will be a little Bigger then just LA after a few days.

People have been looking for a place to focus their energy. 6 months of feeling completely on our heals because Democrats chose a strategy of curl up and die.

People are hungry for action, and these kinds of events exponentiate organizing.

[-] in4apenny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago

I'll believe it when I see it. Police could bomb their own cities with plastic explosives and Americans won't do anything about it.

Maybe they need to get off their obese behinds and get agricultural jobs.

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

Like some sort of... (I cant even think of the right slur)!?

How dare you suggest that! Im white!

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

The "poors" wont have food. Not once will they ever consider that the poors provide them with their treats and they will wake up one day and be told there are no treats.

[-] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

They are not paid to think.

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

No but see i can just pay more and have food.

Surely this will decrease food prices /s

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 11 months ago

This at the same time maga is calling for a boycott of walmart. They just keep punching themselves in the face.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 7 points 11 months ago

Someone posted the other day something like "A stupid person is someone who creates net negative gains. For example, they hurt themselves and others, and gain nothing from it."

[-] Limonene@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Sadistic people like seeing others harmed. They will bear costs to themselves for the sake of seeing others suffer.

Yeah but who got in trouble for hiring them? Did the farm owner run?

[-] Hegar@fedia.io 24 points 11 months ago

It's only a crime to be an exploited worker. It's not a crime to exploit workers.

[-] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Farm owner likely voted for this.

[-] match@pawb.social 6 points 11 months ago

Owner called up ICE because he heard the word "union"

[-] School_Lunch@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

That's how you know this is all political bull shit. If they actually wanted to solve the "problem" in a much easier, more efficient way, then they would just go after the people that hire them.

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

We've already seen the ghost of Christmas future here, it's when Georgia implemented their live scan law and all the small and mid size farmers in Georgia lost their whole harvest (and subsequently, the farm) because they just couldn't get Americans to come and pick for what they're willing to pay. A lot of these farmers voted and stumped for Trump, believing that certainly the face eating leopard who eats everyone's face and promises to eat everyone's face wouldn't eat their face. Get ready for a lot of "waaahhh, I didn't think he would hurt meeeeeeee" from these guys as millions of pounds of tomatoes rot on the vine this summer.

Also, this just fucking sucks. I live in the central valley, ag is a really big deal here, and a lot of ag workers are really hard-working stand up folks. Nobody deserves ICE, but these folks especially don't deserve it. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish ICE agents a very merry court date ASAP.

[-] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I wish these assholes rapid lead poisoning.

Second to that, a careful and thorough rout of them all, prosecuted heavily and drained of any assets by their victims for violating due process.

[-] Ronno@feddit.nl 10 points 11 months ago

Like the scene in Andor. That series was very on point when it comes to the political landscape in the US today.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

also like the BOYz.

"They're just taking innocent people who are trying to build their own American Dream," said Daniel Larios with the UFW Foundation. "This is not law enforcement. It's a campaign of fear against people whose only 'crime' is living and working in the U.S."

America is about to be really "healthy."

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Every day I get news about the gestapo capturing the enemies of the reich and throwing them in box cars, and I hear nothing about citizens doing anything to stop them.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

There are protests and people mobbing ice agents and standing in front of the boxcars and stuff. In LA/Paramount there were enough that they shit their pants and called daddy for backup. It’s not really possible for these remote farming communities to have mobs of people overwhelming ice because there just aren’t that many people in the middle of nowhere farms.

If you haven’t heard about any resistance activity I strongly recommend you reconsider how and where you consume media.

[-] Alteon@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

100% this. There's been resistance everywhere over this. Minnesota drove out a bunch of ICE agents from their neighborhoods, there's been major protests all over the US about it. Like... we're for sure doing it.

I'm ready for the fat fucks in this country to find out what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you. My misanthropic tendencies grow by the day.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

That UFW symbol design is going to draw some negative sentiment for the black insignia in a white circle on red flag. Looks like a copy/paste swastika reworked.

White folks who don't understand how words work and vote are going to think ICE are busting field Nazis.

[-] tootoughtoremember@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Maybe they could use something centered around farming? Or even better, something highlighting the unity between industrial and agricultural workers?

[-] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yeah, that flag design... Big yikes.

Edit: apparently this is the actual logo; it's hard to find the one that ABC used... Makes me think it was an intentional choice.

[-] maximumbird@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I’m at a point now where I can’t wait for this all to blow up. Literally and figuratively.

Going after our farm workers is not going to end well for anyone. I can only hope that someone in power will wake up and do something about it.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

Actual footage from the attempt

terroristic lettuce pickers probably making less than minimum wage…

[-] Alteon@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Ah yes, the dangerous criminals that are out farming for slave wages. Good job ICE. I'm assuming that ICE is going to punish the farmer that employed these dangerous criminals? ICE has entirely lost the fucking plot...
