I don't understand why they would go in the first place. They are homeland security. That's not our home land wtf

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was wondering what role they would be in as well.

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Well obviously they will be checking for illegal immigrants that might be hiding in Italy

My boy Antonio really just went with the first comparison that jumped to mind.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Really? Explain how this isn't that exact situation.

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wouldn’t it be the brown shirts?

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah. Sturmabteilung (SA) aka brownshirts is technically the more accurate comparison.

It is like the SS are coming.

I’ve taken to calling them ICEatzgruppen.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's like the sa are coming. The ss were a military company, the sa were political police.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And einsatzgruppen were the extermination specialists of the SS. Considering the summary executions they’ve started to get enthusiastic about… well, you connect the dots/

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You think that gaggle of uppity morons are execution specialists and not a mob of political police?

In protest I won't even watch it.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This sucks though because the athletes have trained years for this, and then trump happened.

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

suck, shit happens. sorry if thats cold but it happens to all us from time to time.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

There's always pirate stream sites. Plenty of them will be showing the games.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, not yet. Maybe, not exactly. Early stage Gestapo perhaps?

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

The Sturmabteilung (SA), also known as the brownshirts are more apt. ICE is far too bumbling, incompetent and obvious to be the Geheime Staatspolizei, or secret state police.

Yeah, FBI and or CIA would be (are?) the US's Gestapo. I mean, they already have torture facilities to get false confessions.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Fair enough.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

No, it's the SA or GeStaPo.

Ask ICE goons their opinions on Jews and other minorities, you'll change your tone. Italians are classic criminal aliens in the US.

It may not be green shirts with guns who will go door to door but they still should not be allowed.

(No seriously it’s going to be desk kicked that read documents.)
