In the near future “to target people for deportation” will turn into “arresting Americans for thought crimes”. ICE is Gestapo.
A_norny_mousseMixing metaphors here; so far I think Nazi Germany still fits better than Orwell’s 1984. Like, uncannily so. Almost every single action of this admin can be compared to something that happened in Germany after 1933.
don’t pingeon hole their awefulness :) seriously though I don’t think they are looking to limit it. They want out of the box evil ideas.
abbiistabbiiI didn’t realize Facebook showed citizenship status.
Deflated0neJust give me a phone number. I’m happy to tell them to suck my dick. Any time they wanna hear it.
Gestapo sons of bitches.
FirstCircleIf you’re young enough they might take you up on that offer.
… with AI 🤣
edit: not sure why I think that’s funny, of course they’re using AI. Clearview, according to the article. I just thought of vibe coding disasters and DOGE fucking pretty much everything up, I guess.
So then people should start getting off social media, right?
Nah I’m not. I’m a stubborn mule. I’ll just keep shoring up my opsec with regards to my identity. I’ll never let them stop me from saying what I want, when I want, or where I want, not as long as I have air in my lungs.
Hey Americans this is more than a red flag. This is a dystopian nightmare future and you’re all sleepwalking right into it. WTF is wrong with you all?
cygnusyou’re all sleepwalking right into it
This is what bothers me the most too. Decades of chest-thumping about liberty and freedom, and now this? It’s pathetic, really.
I mean, we fought a war based on a the premise that all men were created equal, then decided some men were only worth 3/5 of others….
But but this is different, it’s not like they’re trying to have us take a vaccine or something! It’s just rounding people up and grabbing people off the streets with little to no oversight. I mean sure have we already lost hundreds of people that we can’t account for? Sure, but it’s not like they’re making me get rid of my rolling coal dumbass truck or something important
It’s just rounding people up and grabbing

The chest thumpers were propagandized that guns were a critical component of life and anything a liberal did was tyranny, while the rest of us were propagandized to think authorities are always legitimate, the system will produce justice if you just wait, and violence solves nothing.
CorkyskogIts honestly strange to see non US people who have bought the propaganda as much or more than some people in the US.
Yeah that’s what’s so strange, they act like we believe in the propaganda. It’s like they completely forget that a lot of us were fighting this battle 25 years ago and fucking lost. The people who were chest thumping now are the same ones who were chest thumping for authoritarianism 25 years ago. Any time I see some idiot European post “Americans, I thought you…” it’s a dead giveaway that their stupid ass didn’t pay attention to the post 2001 fall of democracy. This didn’t just happen overnight….
I don’t think many of us did, but we at least expected the average American to buy it, and yet it seems they didn’t.
TruscapeHey, I fucking hate this just as much as you do. I’ve voted and participated against these policies at every step of the way, but I am not wealthy, politically powerful, live in a state where my vote is diluted at the national level (California, one of the states with the highest citizen to representative ratios), and when I try to explain these consequences and dangers, all I get in return is apathy.
KelvarCherry [They/Them]I stopped talking to most people I knew because getting “i don’t do politics” as a dead-end to every response is just disheartening.
Too many of us think diplomacy or peaceful protest or voting is the answer.
It isn’t.
Honestly very excited for a return of frankenstein movies, and slow moving horror, ala german cinema after wwi
paraphrandIf anyone could tell me where to point my carrier pigeon, I wouldn’t mind sending in a resume.
katy ✨hey ice if you read this i hope you choke on a dick

ScrubblesThe right is so worried about the government watching and tracking them that they voted for literally that to happen.
Gazumi@along_the_road it would be an interesting business case to read. This of course makes several assumptions about there being a business case, that the BC is scrutinised by people who can objectively read BCs, that the BC authors can write BCs.. OK, I admit to taking the view that intelligence (both cognitive intent and data driven Intel) are lacking.

The authoritarian government wants unfettered surveillance? Who could have seen this coming?
Whose going to do anything about it?
It’s not one government. That it seems naturally emerging, or connected to particular administration in the USA, or something like that, - these are all not important. Only what really happens, which has been constant over many years with all US administrations, UK governments, EU countries’ political situations.
It’s a very slow and gradual transition, because, well, faster transitions lead to more resistance. It happens all over the “western” world. It happens simultaneously with development of mass-scale autonomous weapons. Both are made more dangerous by having intelligence on any possible adversary on the whole planet. It happens in preparation for WWIII which the “western” world will start. Yes, I’m crazy, discard this all you want.
US: China is using Tiktok to spying us!!11
Also US: Literally spying their citizens.
Now, actually using TikTok to do it too
Now that is what I call winning!
China is gonna set up some shell company and buy the data the USA-TikTok collects. Its all coming together.
They’re unsatisfied with just being the gestapo so they’re getting their stasi on next
No advantage to using social media tied to your name or identity.
Be a hermit crab. Start new accounts periodically. Be certain they are not tied to your meat space persona.
It gonna be tough since I always make references to the same movies, tv shows, and anime, its so easy to link my accounts together.
Tor browsers, vpns, no chrome, no google, no gmail.
Do they have nothing better to-do lol?
of course not
Now they will chase you down for suggesting that they have something better to do.
We need to sanction these fuckers. If you own a business, stop doing business with them. Don’t conduct any kind of transaction with them. Refuse service, tell them to leave your establishment, etc. Stop dating these losers, hanging out with them, etc. If you have one as your neighbor, give them the cold shoulder. These people live among us. Find out who they are and isolate them as much as possible. Don’t invite their kids to birthday parties, kick their kids out of sports leagues, etc. Be calm, polite and firm.
The real Joker wouldn’t have suggested a single one of these.. unless that’s the joke?
Why are we talking about the Joker exactly?
His username is literally Joker? Idk.
Ahh, missed that haha. Thanks.
The anti liberals are getting exactly what they wanted.
