The details of ICE terror are so on-the-nose they would seem downright corny as fiction. This starred-and-striped Gestapo now targets not only schools, workplaces, and homes—as it had done, of course, under Democratic as well as Republican presidencies—but immigration offices themselves, the very places once meant to offer the way out of hiding and persecution. nplusonemag.com/online-only/online-only/ice-age/
Countering Fascism in Black Metal in Olympia: An Analysis
With all of these recent conspiracy theories, it's really hard to argue that the Republicans aren't running scared at this point.
David Allen
The funniest part of this whole thing has been seeing the see-saw effect Trump has been having on the Republican party.
In the primary they hated him and thought he was the worst candidate imaginable and an embarasment.
Then he won the election and they all could either stop pretending they hated him or start pretending they liked him and now he has so thoroughly shit the bed that republicans are jumping ship like it's the Titanic.

Winner-take-all electoral college system is unconstitutional, say suits led by Boies
"A coalition of prominent law firms and professors has filed four federal lawsuits claiming the winner-take-all system of electoral college voting distorts presidential campaigns and violates the U.S. Constitution."
"The coalition is led by David Boies of Boies Schiller Flexner and the League of United Latin American Citizens, as a result of a crowdfunding campaign launched by Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig. A press release announced the suits on Wednesday."

I'm going to play devil's advocate and say I don't blame the officer too much. When you're faced with an adversary that's better armed, the logical thing to do would be to wait for back up. Going into that school would've almost certainly been a death sentence.
Benjamin Phillips
The ICE is literally the American Gestapo. Rounding up mothers while picking their children after school and then locking said children in detention centers indefinitely because they don't have the right papers is undefensible.
Why isn't it discussed more and fought back against? Why are liberals preoccupied about broken windows by antifa and black hollywood stars but not this? For that matter, where are the antifa protests against ICE? It's the most transparent reflection of the racism and militarism of the American state.
Ethan Reyes
If you haven't noticed, America is currently a dumpster fire. With the non-stop deluge of garbage coming from this administration, it's hard to pick specific subjects.
Christopher James
There aren't any worker orgs in the US that have anything close to the kind of power that would be needed to stop ICE.
ICE officers are terrible, but illegals are part of the reason that unions and low-skilled workers were pushed out of the economy. Illegals come for a better life, but it comes at the expense of citizens. Trade deals and globalization means that we slowly become poor as they become less poor. It's not a future citizens wants to live in.
ICE is an expression of the working class' desire for economic access & the upper class' desire to keep illegals in an exploitable position. Only globalists and the family-members of illegals care if ICE is evil.
Lucas Barnes
Oh, they will now. But once congress starts holding hearings about it, that shit will change real quick.
David Ross
No they are not, they peddle conspiracy theories justifying sucking his withered little white dick, and will continue to do so.
Carson Morales
Oh please cut the crap. You must be drowning in ideology: 1. To imagine there are divisions between the working class is to fall into bourg propaganda. Black, white, citizen or not, materially and economically speaking there is no distinction, and academic studies have found this to be true: Economically, there is no difference between either. Only legal fiction (the same that upholds private property) makes it true. 2. To call a human being "illegal" is to imply that the laws of the imperialist state are legitimate. 3. Investing billions in a military force to hunt brown people and detention centers to keep them (and their 'illegal' children, indefinitely) is not only an absolutely abhorrent action, but also a total waste of resources that could be used in social programs. 4. To imagine that you will protect the working class by terrorizing an underclass while engaging in corporate welfare and union busting (which the Trump admin does plenty of) is a laughable proposition. And also very fascistic behavior.
TL;DR: Read a fucking book, recent Holla Forums convert. Your repulsive post might as well have said "Critically support the ICE and the Trump administration in their struggle against mexican peasant imperialism.

1. There are studies that show blacks lose out on jobs because of illegals, and that black wealth has been declining as white and hispanic wealth increases? Clearly there are racial elements to this. 2. Illegals are detrimental to low-skilled workers. Remember when the cousin of Caesar Chavez attacked migrant workers for undermining their union? 3. The actions of the empire (trade deals) have caused these conditions, but citizens will naturally resist threats to their way of life.
I personally can't say that I want to live in a dying empire, but I will not criticize those who are looking out for their collective self-interest. There is little that can be done when our interests come into conflict, except to struggle until one group prevails. From my point of view, the rich have won and the poor have lost. The empire will fall with or without the immigrants, and the people will be left to pick up the pieces.

America has created its own mess by sabatoging the collective economies south of its border during the Cold War.
People who shit on illegal immigrants in America want to have their cake and eat it to. They want to stop illegal immigration but every time they try to stop it they make the crisis south of the border worse, making illegal immigration more prevelant
It's a vicious cycle that continues to repeat because of past mistakes until you have the borderline, no, actual Gestapo of ICE, which will only heaten the situation worse anyways.
Most illegal immigrants aren't even coming to America anymore like they used to because they realize its a lost cause, they head to places like Uruguay. The last little place in South America that America hasn't completely been destroyed by America fucking it's shit
If you knew about 20th century Latin American history, you would know why this is happening, and you certainly would not be sympathizing with the Americans
Michael Wilson
I believe that berating and fighting the 'illegals' instead of actually placing the blame where it belongs - the American oliogarchy - is the total opposite of what a socialist would do. You say the rich already won and there is no point in fighting that, but there sure is still plenty of energy to terrorize mexican immigrants.
Henry Carter

How could any leftist abandon the local working class because of a ruling empire? But at least you finally admit that illegals are a detriment to citizens. This is how empires work. Their theft leads to immigration. All of these coups were terrible crimes, but we cannot escape our place in society without cooperation. If illegals wanted to destroy the imperial class, then they might be good allies, but they're just trying to get jobs that citizens depend on. They're not a violent, militant force. Pancho Villa & Che Guevara are dead, they will not save us now.

Read a fucking book.
Jack Barnes
It’s a fact that immigration holds wages down for low-skilled workers, retard. I don’t know why pro-open borders leftists go to such extents to deny the fact of supply and demand. Even during economic booms with closed borders wages for low-skilled workers rarely surge very much without a unionization drive because there are plenty of potential workers available to do low skilled jobs.
The only workers who’ve even benefited from the neoliberal program of border liberalization are the immigrants themselves and highly-skilled relatively wealthy (usually white) workers who anarkids and red liberals love to blame gentrification on. Even Richard Wolff admits that immigration raises the costs of rents but he says its a good thing since it “rejuvenates” dying neighborhoods—but if it was whites causing the rent increase instead of Latinos he’d probably condemn it and correctly call it gentrification.
The alleged benefit of immigration to the average worker is so small that it’s not even worth talking about—it’s only the bourgeoisie and the upper-crust of the labor aristocracy that even benefit from it: m.youtube.com/watch?v=zOEtPZmReQw
nevertheless I still tend to support immigration for the purpose of accelerating class struggle and really no other reason but if US workers can’t lay off the idpol then closed borders are a much better option. Don’t forget that the revolutionary upsurge of the 1930s and mass unionization happened when the US had the tightest border policy in its entire history. The real argument here should be about tactics and not morality
Tyler Walker
This isn't about morality it's about common sense, the past happened, the present is its consequence. Each president has been more aggressive on immigration than the last, and yet here we are arguing about it.
You won't change that
It isn't law that is the problem, it is the past actions of the United States it simply cannot escape from.
Easton Barnes
We would fight the ruling class, but we do not have the military power to take on such a struggle.
I plan to abandon the empire, but even my expatriation won't invalidate the views of those who stay. The empire's death will leave the citizens who depend on it with a more precarious life than any immigrant deported by ice. All we can do is walk away from the carnage before it consumes us.
We do not decide our place in history. If we could offer up the saboteurs, the despots and killers the world could be returned to the people, and yet we are kept from them by their deceptions, their weapons and wealth.
You refuse to see distinctions which contradict your argument, even when the workers make them themselves.
Sebastian Hill
Hey now /mlp/ is fun Even before the boomer influx Lauren Faust cane to visit the board
Adam Rodriguez
Not really. LBJ was more liberal on immigration than any president since the 19th century and he struck down racially-based immigration quotas such as the laws banning Asian immigration although it should be noted that beyond its racist element there were progressives who supported the ban in order to stop coolie labor.
You know an argument could be made that many of these people would revolutionize their home countries if they were denied the chance to migrate. Remittances from America have been helping to keep the capitalist and even semi-feudal order of central and South America alive for decades. Free movement of people certainly makes free movement of drugs easier which has important consequences for people on both sides of the border. Many of these people flee from their home countries, come here and become liberals if not outright conservatives because their standard of living is so low at home their thankful to the US capitalists for their relative tolerance of them. It’s not for nothing that half of new jobs created goes to the foreign-born—their kids on the other hand don’t fair any better then natives in the job market. The argument can be made that immigration can and has been used in the past to blunt the development of class consciousness.
Think about all the counter-revolutionary Cubans, Vietnamese and others who have been allowed to migrate to the US—did that not inhibit revolution at home?
We should also consider the tactics of US imperialism itself. To continue to dominate the world it must grow demographically there’s just no other way. US war planners such as Thomas P Barnett are have went so far as to claim that 20th century European powers such as the EU, Germany and Russia are no real threat to the US, they project their disintegration or decline in the future—so the real threats to US hegemony are powers like China and even India.
You might ask yourself how the US could win a war either militarily or economically against China with only 330 million people. It can’t. That’s the real meaning behind all the screeching coming from the legacy media against Trump but I think it’s only noise. Trump will do “the right thing” once he’s convinced this is the only way to stop ‘Chyna’

And where is the GG crowd that screeches about Anita Sarkeesian at? Complete silence.
David Collins
GG was about protecting multi-billion dollar gaming companies from "undue influence" from cultural enemies. Thus why Anita, being le evil feminist, had her bullshit gamer creds questioned constantly while Milo (a 35 year old who has never played vidya but who nevertheless was most certainly not a feminist liberal) was allowed into the clique without any issues.
Kayden Nelson
GG was about ethics in games journalism and protecting artistic freedoms before it was co-opted. Milo was accepted mostly unquestioningly because Milo didn't support corrupt game journos. Anita did and still does.
Begone brainlet.
David Sanders
Anita probably wasn't really a gamer, tbh. Not that I think it matters, since I think the rest of her views are awful. Point is, giving her that much attention was always stupid. I see your point about Milo being an opportunist, though

It's as simple as that. Lol
She didn't play games. I think she's just very basic feminism. Nothing more.
Yes they were, they know hes another zionist puppet. Jews pretending to be right wing push Trump.
