At some point, someone is going to fire the first shot. Then it's open season on ICE agents. And you know what? I'm okay with that.

I do wonder how all the "violence is never the answer" folks will go if it comes to that. I think a lot of them would side with ICE, sadly.

Personally, I won't be upset if a would-be nazi meets an abrupt end to their career.

The colonies didn't resort to violence when unfairly taxed, they just offered a tea party.

Ooops. Sounds like you accidentally picked up a Texas MAGA "history" book? Or maybe one covering the 18th century or before?

[-] superkret@feddit.org 8 points 1 day ago

Read some news.
Countries simply taking land they want, killing millions, and getting away with it is still a thing.

Have you ever heard about the WW2?

Violence is not the answer. Violence is the question. And the answer is "Yes"

[-] muusemuuse@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

That reads like a Cave Johnson quote.

when life asks you if violence is the answer, you BURN THEIR HOUSE DOWN with the LEMON BOMBS‼️‼️

[-] muusemuuse@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Yes! He's saying what we're all thinking!

[-] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago

You're absolutely right with thinking they'll stick with ICE. People who value Status Quo over all else ("it hurts my head thinking about the world changing, why can't everything just stay the same???????") always have and always will capitulate to Fascist regimes, because it removes the need for critical thought and the obligation to stand for anything. Moderates will be the death of us if we let them.

“Violence is never the answer” types are just controlled opposition. Any and every peaceful protest that doesn't have the risk of escalating to violence can and is just ignored. Did those anti war protests against Bush II's wars ever amount to anything?

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 day ago

I'm inclined to agree. Unfortunately, a lot of moderators on lemmy and other sites have a very strong "no calls for violence" stance.

[-] muusemuuse@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Let me be clear to any moderators here: I am not telling people to get an ICE agent pelt. I am simply predicting it will happen and choosing not to be upset about it.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

We're just talking about history here. No one's calling for violence.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 day ago

Like violence and threats in the past are okay, but never in the present?

[-] bampop@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

If you're inciting violent civil insurgency, you're a criminal in the present. If successful, you may be accepted, even celebrated, retrospectively. It's not a question of right or wrong, but of who is currently in power.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

What did I say that was a threat?
