This is like some always sunny shit.

"it's not like the SS is coming"

Cue the always sunny title music and the text "the SS ruins the Olympics"

[–] europhile@feddit.org 7 points 9 hours ago

No but its like the SA is coming.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 14 points 11 hours ago

What an odd thing to say.

Why would of all groups of people the SS would pop into their head, unprompted? Hmmmmm.

[–] shithawk@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Yeah like that's never happened before

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 18 points 20 hours ago

it's not like the SS are coming

That is a strangely specific comment, especially about a group that constantly is compared to the SS .... Because they fucking behave like the SS!

So yeah, yes! The SS are coming and you're rolling out the red carpet

Fuck these Nazis, you should all block their entrance to the country. Hell, Europe should have a requirement that (ex) ice employees aren't welcome. They so the same for ex nazis, don't they?

what "Immigrations Customs Enforcement" objective can it possibly serve to send ICE to italy?

It seems like they're trying to turn the olympics into some kind of fascist goon festival.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 8 points 22 hours ago

They're just there to keep the trains running on time.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

So if this does happen, I expect the airport where they land to become a shit show of Europe protests... Let these motherfuckers see how real protests are done and how fucking hated these goons are.

"They are the same picture"

[–] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 37 points 1 day ago

It is like the SS is coming.

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 197 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Buddy, it's like the SS are coming.

[–] DivineDev@piefed.social 70 points 1 day ago

And even if it wasn't, when the SS is what first comes to mind when thinking "who is worse than ICE?", that's already enough of a problem on its own.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

American here. Can confirm.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 day ago

O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

This will age like milk

[–] T156@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Why is US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement even going to provide security for a sports event in another country, anyway? It seems bizarrely out of scope.

[–] Nikelui@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Maybe to justify the billions of budget they have been allocated.

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 1 day ago

Honestly, it's a rare chance for us Europeans to organise a huge protest against ICE. Now I'm kinda dreaming this happens.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

They will deport all the Italians in Italy, obviously.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 153 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] j4yc33@piefed.social 15 points 1 day ago

It's weird how well they knew what to claim while claiming the opposite

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 14 points 1 day ago

And italy knows their fascists!

[–] Dremor@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

More like the SA.

[–] Ascendor@discuss.tchncs.de 36 points 1 day ago

Well, yes it is.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 95 points 1 day ago (3 children)

You mean the country that invented fascism doesn't see the problem with ICE?

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 36 points 1 day ago (4 children)

This is their current Prime Minister...

[–] Nikelui@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Up to not too long ago, the granddaughter of Mussolini was in the same political party.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 3 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Jesus christ...I dread to think about what she thinks of Hitler .

This whole planet is doing a speed run to self destruction

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I see "Mussolini" and "buon politico" and feel like I can piece enough together.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't speak Italian either, but I know enough Spanish (not much) to figure out what it says...

[–] YellowParenti@lemmy.wtf 8 points 1 day ago

Speak spanish

I think that mussolini was a good politician

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

And here I was thinking that NOT getting strung up by an angry mob is what makes a good politician

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 9 points 1 day ago

And also currently have a fascist government.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

To be fair, the SS used IBM and cocaine to achieve levels of efficiency that ICE can only dream of. ICE is using hallucinating LLMs and Sudafed, clearly.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 81 points 1 day ago

Buddy, your grandpa got the same thing wrong 90 years ago.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They already have no legitimacy in the US, fuck business do they have going to another country?

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 1 points 11 hours ago

Many countries are sending police to help with the event. Mainly to advise on handling their own fans, so it makes sense border or immigration police are sent.

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 day ago

yah it kind of is turning into that.

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 51 points 1 day ago (16 children)

I mean Italy has always viewed the SS in positive light, so makes sense they view ICE the same way

Puttana motherfucker.

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago

It IS exactly inviting gestapo to your country. Other country's hit squad having no jurisdiction whatsover.

[–] xyro@morbier.foo 6 points 1 day ago
