Order them by threat of force

Anything else is just more posturing and god, we've seen so much posturing already

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (4 children)

It is not within the authority of the Governor of the state to use force against federal agents.

These people pushing violence really seem to be happy with just throwing away everything about the country that we're trying to save. These people are in lock step with the MAGA bots on the issue:

  • Rules (only when I want them),
  • Violence (excusable if the target is right),
  • Democracy (They're trying to steal it so lets throw it in the garbage before they can).

Don't confuse a lot of upvotes with a popular opinion, it is trivial to make vote boosting bots on Lemmy.

If you are in the US, these people pushing this violent rhetoric are not on your side and are trying to push us into the same chaos as the MAGA forces.

You can have the national guard follow and chaperone ICE. There are no laws that say you must allow federal agents to break the law in front of you. They should be arrested when witnessing them violate the constitution.

LOL. you will lay face down in mud with the boots of an ICE on the back of your head and still think, "well, at least I upheld the dignity of Democracy!".

GTFO with your "b-but both sides are bad!" garbage.

This is an extremely egregious and dishonest comment. You are ironically waxing poetic about the law that the current admin has torn to shreds with the help of this lawless force that everyone else actually wants to stop. Let's take a look here:

  • Yes, we have to change the rules. It's actually very rare that oppressive laws are overturned through entirely legal means. "I can kidnap, torture, and kill people if the state says it's okay" is not the same as "Holy shit suspend that immediately I don't care if it's against the rules to do so".
  • Yes, violence is excusable if the target is committing heinous acts of wanton violence. We shouldn't finger-wag murderers
  • This goes back to point one, if your ""democracy"" allows for people to be violently oppressed like this, it is a total farce, and NEEDS to be entirely revamped.

You are, painfully obviously, someone who cares more about "stability" and "order" (dude just let the ruling class brutalize people every now and then, don't rock the boat too hard) than any sense of actual justice and safety. Stop defending literal politicians, who INTENTIONALLY put themselves in this situation and BLOCK anyone actually willing to help stop this madness, while you encourage the already-oppressed masses to take on more trauma with far fewer resources. Note how you don't even end your comment with any call to action like mutual aid, just "lalala these frustrated netizens are fake people block your ears!!", fix this

there's no question of authority here. you shoot someone you get arrested.
