  1. Buy a single color van without any text on it
  2. Find 2 people to help you
  3. Cover your faces
  4. Drive to your victim, jump out, shout "ICE, you are under arrest" and throw the victim into the van

All people around you will think that nothing unusual is happening.

People need to start kidnapping and disappearing:

  1. Conservative white Republicans.

  2. Evangelical preachers.

  3. ICE agents.

  4. Police officers.

  5. Republican politicians.

Just dress up as ICE, bust down their doors, and haul them off. If they try to show a birth certificate or passport, grab it from them, tear it in half, and call it a fake.

White Christian conservatives need to learn that they will not come out of this unscathed. They need to know that they are just as vulnerable as anyone else, and that they themselves are a minority group in this country. We need to put the fear of God in these bastards. That's the only way this will ever end.

This would require the bullshit “opposition” to stop cowering. Non-starter.

[-] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

You're in there too bud. Go on. Get kidnapping.

[-] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

He looks around, "Uh, no no, I've got stuff to do. But everyone else, they are cowards!"

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 weeks ago

Disclaimer: victim must be vaguely brown

[-] Gowron_Howard@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Or verifiably democrat or left leaning

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

or hold political memes in their phone

[-] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 weeks ago
[-] redfox@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago

Ever sense I heard this meme can apparently get you denied entry to the US. I will not stop spreading it and sharing it.

[-] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Stop that! You'll get him deported.

[-] match@pawb.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

awh shit,i was hoping our tiananmen censorship equivalent would be better

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Now they're on to me!

I mean the evangelical security guard last known registered as a Republican, best friend said was Republican, and spoke out openly against pro choice democrats to the extent of making a list and murdering families and injuring others was actively voiced as being left leaning by the media simply because it helps their narrative. I don't think they are looking to verify anything.

"Our intelligence reports say they are not making nuclear weapons" -i dont care, we are bombing them. "Our intelligence reports say the facilities weren't completely obliterated" -i dont care, your intelligence is fake news because it doesn't fit our narrative.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

But he had paper he printed out!

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

And your helpers and you must be white.

[-] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Eh I don't know, a ton of these kidnappers have been Hispanic and black.

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

I wouldn’t say a ton, but plenty, and any is too many (of any kind).

[-] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, it could be a white AF looking person from Germany that shared a meme of the vice president...

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Do you mean the one from Norway? He wasn't picked up by a van, he was denied entry at the airport.

[-] Kaboom@reddthat.com -2 points 2 weeks ago

And it was because of his admitted drug use. But don't let facts get in the way of a good circle jerk

Never believe a cop that can legally lie to you and jam you up for hurting their feelings. Fuck all cops. And ICE agents running around like the gravy seals are hardly cops, just wannabes.

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 weeks ago

When they finally settle on a story, and then announce it, just like they always do, then I, for one, believe we must always take out our boys in blue at their word.

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He was Norwegian, and only denied entry, not kidnapped.

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago
[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah. We're pretty concerned about Florida ICE killing our petit criminals on the way home.

[-] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago
[-] Onyxonblack@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago

I'm fairly certain this is happening in multiple places of the country at this very moment.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 weeks ago
[-] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

They're going after the wrong people. They should be disappearing Republican politicians, accusing them of secretly being illegal aliens.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe if that happened ICE would actually start identifying themselves.

[-] SteveCC@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago
[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

There are a lot more, I just grabbed the first few.

[-] Xande@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

They are eating the ducks... they are eating the ducks and geese... they are eating the food of the people that live there!

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

There are lots of stories about this.

But, those are the ones we know about. Are there others we don't? I'd say it's certain.

For a serial killer, this has to be a gift from the gods. Get some gear from an army surplus store, cover your face, kidnap and kill someone, hide the body, and everyone will just assume that they were deported and lost in the system.

  1. Call the family of the victim with the ransom deman........ I mean..... with the "bail money demand"
[-] Freefall@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, that is my concern.nifnyounget jumped by guys shouting ICE with no proof, you have a second amendment right to defend yourself.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

You need to threaten people with guns and machine guns

The crazy part is at this point in American history, you'd have a high chance of getting away with it all.

[-] rottenmummy@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

I wrote something very similar a few days ago. It can't be the us government hasn't realised how dangerous it is till now.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago
[-] brb@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Until, till, and 'til are all used to indicate the time when a particular situation or period ends, or when something will happen. Until and till are both standard (but, perhaps surprisingly, till is the older of the two). 'Til, with one L, is an informal and poetic shortening of until. 'Till, with an additional L, is rarely used today, and should be avoided.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

You understood what he meant. Ergo, he was correct.

Language is just a means of conveying your thoughts into someone else's head. Grammar is a set of guidelines to ease that process. So if you picked up what he was putting down, his sentence was valid.

Na mean?

[-] capuccino@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Never easier to ~~kidnap~~ deport people in the USA

  1. Buy a single color van without any text on it
  2. Find 2 people to help you
  3. Cover your faces
  4. Drive to your victim, jump out, shout “ICE, you are ~~under arrest~~ being deported” and throw the victim into the van

All people around you will think that nothing unusual is happening, they do not even need to get a disguese or something, and nobody would care if ICE are the ones who do the deports.

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

I hope that works at the white house too

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
