Tim Walz, send in the Guard and clear ICE from your cities before someone else gets killed by racist insurrectionists.

Is it me or are there a surprisingly low amount of bullet proof “PRESS” vests to be seen there lately? Is the MSM reporting about this at all inside the states?

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

MSM is currently manufacturing consent to bomb Iran. This does not fit their agenda so it is mainly locals and independent journalists which are on the ground.

I bet there isn't a line of reporters signing up to get shot in the head by ICE. A "Press" badge is just a bullseye for them.

In case you actually want to see the video without waiting an hour for it to load: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT1mGnb80Os

Damn, the comments on that video are horrible. Guess it's all the "empathy is a sin" monsters...

Well, I went in and replied to one explaining how embarrassing they are. Expecting the hate to flow but I'm doing my part.

Edit: I actually went on a little commenting spree. Couldn't resist being a damper in the echo chamber.

Yeah, never read youtube comments if you want to stay sane. Half of them probably werent written by humans but that still leaves the other half.

[–] whosepoopisonmybuttocks@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Are those comments for real? I'm hoping they're coming from a bot farm but I can't even tell anymore.

Can protesters come up with a better chant than "shame"?

[–] mmcintyre@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Can you?

“ICE = Pedophile cucks?”

“You like being Donald’s cuck boys?”

“Pedophile protectors?”

“If a pedophile tells you to illegally search a person of colour, would you do it?”

This and many more on my soon to be released album “I thought we defeated the Nazis”

So, they need to go cringier than "fuck ICE", "resist ICE", "murderers", "scum", or just outright calling them contemptible pieces of shit: got it.

"shame" is a centuries-old classic. Go read.

Do protestors need a "we shoot back" sign?
