Border Patrol Agent Aiming 40mm Launcher At My Head - ICE Protest 1/31

Picture from Saturday's protest at the Portland ICE facility. An agent fixed his 40mm launcher at my head twice, despite me very obviously being a photographer.

The US needs to fix its own shit.

Good thing that wasn't the attitude towards Germany in WWII.

[-] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 months ago

It WAS the attitude until it started invading its neighbours.

And what has the US, the country with the most powerful military in the world, been threatening to do lately?

[-] MrSpArkle@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

Keep going they’re almost there.

People don't realize most of the world turned a blind eye to hitlers atrocities and viewpoints (some even embraced them) it's only when Hitler became aggressively expansive on their territories when the world decided to step in...

[-] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

Some countries waited years after that to join in.

And they didn't gaf when Spain was going through a civil war over the same shit. Hitler and Stalin both sent support for the side they were closer to, but just crickets from the rest of the western world, less than even the stern words Italy got for invading Ethiopia until the league of nations just dissolved because it was shown to be useless.

The US didn’t join WW2 until 2.5 YEARS after it began, and Germany had to declare war on the US first. The US only declared war on Japan.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Yes, but the US wasn't the only country fighting against them.

We will burn the whitehouse down again when it’s required.

[-] BeardededSquidward 1 points 3 months ago

Sure you will. You're just as impotent as you say we are.

Doesn’t matter, I’m not the one living in a fascist state.

[-] BeardededSquidward 1 points 3 months ago

I'm certain your indigenous people would love to say something on that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_genocide_of_Indigenous_peoples

Seems you Canadians aren't much better than us when it gets down to it. Hrm...

[-] BeardededSquidward 1 points 3 months ago

Oh also before you try to claim that was before your time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatoon_freezing_killings Thank you for playing.

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Nice whataboutism. Cry harder.

[-] BeardededSquidward 1 points 3 months ago

Literal shows evidence of genocide and fascism in Canada. Denies it existence thus proving they're a fascist as well. Damn pot, watch who you calling black.

[-] BeardededSquidward 4 points 3 months ago

I'm certain this won't become a global issue at all.
