At least the Nazis had the courage to show their faces.
I'm not going to say you're wrong, but I'm conflicted by your comment. Was it really courage? I counter that they truly thought that they were right and had no reason to cover their faces. The Geneva conventions, nor the Internet, were things at the time. There wasn't any meaningful, if any, backlash to being a racist at the time. There was no risk to facists having your face uncovered back then, but there definitely is now.
Honestly not sure which is worse. To think you're right and do evil, or to know you're in the wrong and do it anyway...
If it makes you all feel any better, the nazi with the gun didn't survive the war. Also, his hometown covered his name on a war memorial with a QR code so people would know what he'd done and he'd get proper credit for his monstrous acts.
That's why they wear masks now, so they can just walk around like normal people when they aren't murdering us in the street.

What the fuck.
Thanks a lot for that post.
"Let's point out the hypocrisy of the fascists for the thousandth time. Then, we'll use logic to explain reality to those who have rejected logic for a decade. Then, we'll appeal to the virtues, morality, and ethics of those who have never once displayed any of those traits.
That'll surely stop the fascist coup in its final hour."
— American "liberals"
I swear, at this point it's hard to tell who is more brainwashed and mentally ill. The fascists who reject reality, or the antifascists who reject reality; refusing to accept that the fascists are too mentally ill to be reasoned with.
And you are doing, what, exactly? Other than giving lessons in smug superiority?
Come on. Inspire us.
I'm not American; just a foreign ally who would've already bought a gun and learned how to use it a decade ago, if I were American, because MAGA has been a fascist evangelical mental illness fuelled by billionaire propaganda the entire god damn time.
But maybe organise protests outside the homes of every Republican politician 24/7? Don't let them sleep and make them feel the terror they are bringing to the people?
Maybe spend your time building lists of who the fascists are, where they live, and how high-profile they are? Maybe study methods of guerrilla warfare and insurgency? Maybe join local antifascist militias and learn how to securely communicate, including in case of when the fascists nuke the internet and energy grid?
Maybe spend your time preparing for when the mass murder starts? Have a plan of meaningful resistance, then execute it if/when all else fails.
Because I can tell you right now, the tens of millions of mentally ill Americans are impossible to de programme. They've chosen fascism, and they won't abandon it without being brought to their knees. Trying to reason with insanity is nothing more than wasting your breath.
That several of the things you listed are already happening means you need to STFU.
Your countries signed on with palantir, too. You should be helping us because you don’t have any guns to fight what is coming to you.
If we fall, you're all easy pickings.
You have to know that.
I 100% agree with what you said, but please don't equate fascism to a mental illness, it's offensive to people suffering from actual illnesses.
Fascists aren't like that because of an illness they can't control, they are simply cowardly bullies that chose to behave like that.
I think it should be clear to most people by now that you can't reason with fascists because they don't listen to arguments but just cling to their evil ideology against all logic. It should also be clear to most US citizens by now that isolated protests in some cities will do as little to stop the criminal regime as the hollowed-out legal system or any of the corrupt established politicians.
The regime is clearly not impressed by this, especially since its propaganda machine continuously obscures the fact that millions of people are taking to the streets to express their contempt for the crimes of their fascist leaders. This is already evident in the fact that its secret police force barely waited a few hours before committing the next murder in open public and for all to see.
However, the question remains, and it will be interesting to see whether US citizens will oppose their oppression with organized and nationwide coordinated resistance. I think the US is at a turning point in its history: Will the American people rise up against the tyranny of the powerful few, or will the masses bow down to it?
Only US citizens can answer this question - through decisive civil resistance, through a nationwide general strike that continues for as long as it takes, even at the expense of their own standard of living, until the criminal regime is removed.
If that does not happen, I believe it is inevitable that the US will soon become an autocratic kleptocracy like Russia, since the orange child molester, his billionaire allies and their henchmen are obviously in the process of replacing even the semblance of democracy with the harsh repressive measures that are characteristic of a true dictatorship.
So the question is: Will the US population allow this to happen, or will they rise up en masse to oppose it?
We have no resistance leader. Without one we are dead. No I’m not the leader this country needs before anyone tries that bs, I’ve tried to lead. I’m too “mean” (ie i don’t put up with bullshit and i own a vagina). Libs don’t like it when i use the word fuck.
Well put. Even the memes are a part of it. Like that with each meme comes some kind of victory over the fascists.
But, one thing I think you are wrong is that fascists don't reject reality. They know what the deal is, but this is the way they communicate, the way they express allegiance, the way they recognize each other. They will publicly support an obvious lie, be proud of it, no amount of YouTube videos how some journalists EVISCERATES them in an interview will help. Thats how they show how strongly they support the leader, how much they are willing to take. And the soldiers, the gestapo is there to use violence. They have to do it, thats why they exist. They have to show the population that they can do anything, beat up people, murder them in public view and take no consequences. That was always going to happen. Lies that they say on tv after are supposed to be blatant, stupid, easily to see through. That's the point, to show to the people, it doesn't matter what truth is, it only matters what they say. Until they say something else.
And everybody is going along with it.
The only thing missing now is cancellation of elections or more likely, just a complete fabrication of results. Again, it won't matter that the fabrication will be obvious, clear to everyone, that will be by design, that will be the point.
Did they shoot him from behind? Like back of the head?
yes
From what I saw on videos they shot him from behind into his back. But it was not a scene of execution like here in the image, more like a fight situation.
He had been dragged to the ground, kicked and punched repeatedly by multiple people and hit in the head with some sort of bat, he was unresponsive on the floor by the time the first shot is fired and then he's clearly already dead or dying and not moving at all when the rest of the shots are fired.
Huh? I think I was misunderstood here. In no way I wanted to downplay US gestapo here. I just wanted to tell the difference between these two images: In the first one a person seems to be forced to kneel in order to get executed by a shot in the head. The second image was already described by you very well.
Why would you feel the need to point that out?
How about pointing out that the first is black and white and the other is in colour. Or that the first picture has a bunch of people in the background. Yes, thank you. Good to know your eyes work. But none of that is relevant to the point being made her.
Because the original comment specifically asked what happened, if the victim was shot in the head from behind.
Black and white image or the group would be totally out of context.
The videos I saw over and over and over he tried to get up and these fascist orcs shot him in the head and this is the photo from that moment.
10 shots in 5 seconds.
It was a gang beating followed by murder
These two photos (to me) point to something even more monstrous in modern times.
For all of its barbarism, the guy on the left still at least had the courage of his convictions to show his face while commiting his crime. He believed enough to not hide his face like a coward.
ICE is just effectively keyboard warriors with guns in the real world. They have the balls to pull their shit only so long as they can stay hidden and safe behind masks while doing so. A bunch of fucking cowards who would immediately piss themselves if they were one on one and unmasked.
I'm not going to defend any nazi, especially the guy on the left. But at least nazi's used to have the courage of their convictions. Nowadays it's just barely literate dude-bros looking for a mask so they can execute people.
Strong sobchak vibes here
"I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos"
Those ICE Apes aren't wearing helmets. Bullets work on their heads the same as ours.
Those helmets barely stop 9mm. Any high-velocity rifle round would go through them. They really only wear them to stop shrapnel.
Also, as I know from experience, they do very little against blunt force from behind.
Also, while it’s hard to tell from pictures and videos, it doesn’t look like the ERO ICE fucks are running ceramic plates in their vests. The way they’re moving around while wrestling people on the ground the videos I’ve seen looks way more nimble than I ever was in full plates.
If I’m right, and again I wouldn’t stake anything on it from just videos and images, they’re just running with 3a soft armor which provides stab protection and protection from handgun calibers. 5.56 wouldn’t notice a difference between that or a north face shell.
Everyone please remove your hats, and rise to be shot in the back as our national anthem is sung by kid rock.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Daily reminder that all major American media companies are fully complicit with this fascist takeover. And at least one group I can think of is enthusiastically supporting it (skydance)
Have we identified the shooter? And the ones with him?
We need socialism
I haven't seen the pic on the right. What video is it from?
What video is this from? I never saw one that had a clear view of the victim once they piled on.
