Everyone should just dress up like ICE everywhere … you don’t have to do anything violent or illegal … just go about your day as an ICE agent.
Going shopping, dress up like ICE … anyone asks, just say you’re ICE
Going to the movies? dress up like ICE
Going to visit grandma? dress up like ICE
Going to a wedding? dress up like ICE with a hoodie, ball cap, sunglasses and mask
Once everyone everywhere is ICE … ICE will be less likely to bother people
Or even worse, the company not donating anything but instead handing over all the public donations pretending that it was their work that caused it. They give nothing but instead gain all the publicity and recognition … in the end profiting from charities and the good will of people
I’m not apologetic about it any more.
When any company asks me to donate i say no. If there’s a cashier or rep that gives me a look or says something … I tell them that their company can spare 0.0001% of their profits to give way more than all their customers combined. Don’t ask me who to donate to, I give to the charities of my choice when I can. Your company has way more free money to give to not just one charity but many charities if they wanted to but never do and instead choose to collect the money as more profit for themselves and their investors.
Or why average Americans don’t just do the same and go rob a bank or convenience store … just arrest people randomly, zip tie them, take all the money and leave everyone behind.
The best part would be the local news reporting the masked robbers looked like this and ask if anyone has spotted them
Someone … or a new artist should just release a new version of the song with new lyrics every year
But to your question … I’m Indigenous Canadian, so from the day I was born, I’ve always been overwhelmed by the world because most of it, especially living in northern Ontario was a government that either actively or passively just wanted us to either disappear, assimilate, go away or just die.
I’ve always seen the world as falling apart. I remind my friends when we debate this stuff that the human species has been around for about two million years, a species that looks like us was around about 100,000 years ago and the most modern ancestor that could think, act and be like us is about 50,000 years ago. We’ve only just started our technological evolution about 200 years ago. So when you think about it, we are more designed as prehistoric cavemen and cavewomen who are easily scared of shadows in the dark or what happens after we die. We have only just taken our first step out of the cave we all used to inhabit. It’s going to take us a few more thousand years to get to the point where our brains can process and live with the modern world we created … that is if we last that long. In the meantime, we’ll just fumble along trying to become temporary Masters of the Universe on our tiny speck of floating dust in the galaxy.
To put things into perspective … listen to Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot
Or watch the cartoonist Steve Cutts A Brief Disagreement
The thing that is pissing me off these days is not so much that the world is falling apart … it always has been for me … its that we are accelerating the amount of danger we are putting all of humanity … and for what? a little bit of profit and for a small group of people to say they can rule the world?
Their governments should just rotate each leader once in a while just to keep things fun … I doubt anyone would notice or that it would change world politics
It’s not enough … you know why? … They just bombed a foreign country!
People are dying because of the lack of action … if American’s do something, yeah people are going to get hurt and maybe die but you know what? … if American’s don’t do something, hundreds, thousands and even millions are going to die
So who’s it going to be? a few Americans? or a few million no name people living in countries you would never visit anyway?
Self sacrifice? America only does that in the movies … it’s a myth … a fantasy … America would rather watch the world burn as long as they keep driving their SUV to the local football game and buy their latte and use an Iphone
The world’s going to fall apart because of the selfishness of a few million idiots that just don’t care about anyone but themselves.
Congress? You dumb American fucks should all be out on the streets to shut your country down in protest.
Instead, you’d rather continue living a nice comfortable life because you all know that you will be the last ones to have to face any threat of war when the world starts tearing itself apart.
Eat shit you dumb fucks … the rest of the world is going to burn and fall apart all because none of you wanted to lift a finger to stop it.
As far as I’m concerned I fucking hate America now … I’m Canadian and I’m pissed at my southern neighbours. It’s like having a trailer trash neighbour who just fire bombed someone across town and just doesn’t give a shit about what they did because no one is going to do anything about it.
America can go fuck itself … I have no respect for any of you because you’re leading us down a deadly path and all of you are just sitting on your ass hoping that this will resolve itself without your participation … you dumb lazy fucks.
Yeah, that’s all well and funny
But American can go fuck itself at this point … why have any respect for a country that continually wants to disrupt and destroy the world while it’s citizens just sit back cry about it and do absolutely nothing.
The world is falling apart and they are perfectly comfortable with a madman leading us all (not just America) to the brink of total war.
And why? … just so they prove themselves right and say they have some sort of moral high ground
Fuck America
It’s a no win situation … just like WWII
If you eliminate all decent people from the population and remove their influence … all you’ll end up with is psychopaths and violent people … who will all end up destroying everything for everyone
Springtime for ICE Agents
That’s the other thing I find unusual … why no one is doing anything to just threaten and shoot ICE agents … it’s a legal free for all right now
Someone attacks your home, they don’t identify themselves, refuse to identify themselves and kidnap and detain people … why aren’t people just standing up to them with guns that are supposed to be everywhere in the US?
It’s a good idea because ICE agents are not identifying themselves … so they would have a hard time arguing that anyone is impersonating an officer or agent.
I’m sure they would bend and break the rules over it anyway … but what choice do you end up with? … don’t do anything and they put you in danger … or dress up like them and you’re still in danger anyway but at least you’re doing something.
lol … that would actually be hilarious
Get a bunch of guys and cosplay as ICE agents and join their raids and gatherings and confuse the hell out of them.
Imagine 20 no name, non identifiable ICE agents raiding a place, then coming out of the building to 100 ICE agents that look like them mingling in with their group. The cosplayers just play along, making orders, taking orders, following, arguing, screaming, shouting, pushing and just causing general mayhem.
I don’t understand why more Americans just don’t dress up like ICE and do whatever they want …
… like … no one is bothering to check who ICE is and they are not identifying themselves.
All they have is body armour, masks and firearms … anyone can do that … which means, anyone can do whatever they want.
Or just go up next to them and cry louder and more dramatically
The Spain we saw was about 25 years ago. We saw the old Spain that was just transitioning to the Euro. Our first visits, we were actually dealing with Pesetas which made it easy at the time because a Peseta was equivalent very close to the Canadian penny. 100 Pesetas was $1 CAD.
Malaga still had a lot of old world charm as it hadn’t really changed in 30 years and looked like something from the past. The last time we saw it was about 8 years ago and now it looks like an American Disneyland … almost like the Spanish pavilion for a world fair or something.
And that old culture is what I remember. People were still living with little and the generation at the time remembered what it was like to be poor and their parents only ever knew life as being poor or living with little. Plus the country is hot like the desert in the summer … so all of it was conducive to everyone eating little because they didn’t have that much wealth and the weather made it uncomfortable to want to eat too much.
I’m sure it’s changed over the years but not by much.
Nothing more American than to see Republicans freak out at the tiniest possibility that someone wants to actually help average Americans … and instead of ignoring them, they label him a radical socialist that is dangerous… dangerous to who? The rich!
