Text: ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out wearing masks in unmasked cars with no uniforms or identification, protesters keep dumping pounds of glitter on them so that everyone can tell they're ICE for days afterwards.

Image below the text: a man in white shirt and black tie and glasses, with a raised hand, as if trying to get someone's attention.

Text on that image: who had "Glitter bombing the Gestapo" on their bingo card?

Arm yourselves. This isn’t a joke.

They want millions dead.

America is top of the list yet nothing happens. Seems like those "to defend against rogue government" arguments are just talk anyway and the entire world told you that for years.

Looks like Americans are all talk and just keep the guns around just for a higher suicide rate and school shootings.

Do you know that the KKK would disperse & never come back when would-be victims armed themselves and shot at them? A big element in the civil rights movement was vets coming back from the world wars with combat experience and firing back on their oppressors. Those are stories that get lost in the pEaCefUL pRoTeST propaganda, but arming up and defending their communities was a huge piece of the black civil liberties movement.

Anyway, point is, turns out people who hide behind masks to commit terroristic acts are truly, deeply chickenshit. I'm willing to bet ICE would do the exact same thing as the KKK if fired back upon.

The only good Nazi is dead.

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Not important cuz it's obvious what your saying but I feel like the second half of the statement is necessary. This kinda implies there was one good Nazi

The 2 go hand in hand. The peaceful element provides cover and public cause support for the more militant elements. They also make it harder to concentrate forces to deal with them.

In turn, the militant add teeth to the peaceful element.

An intelligent government acts early, before the militant elements can come to bear. But for best results both (technically all 3, including political) are required.

Another good example are the Irish troubles. The IRA, while prominent, couldn't "win". The marches, and Sinn Fein did.

The people in charge want to fill private prisons with a vulnerable population who have no recourse as they have little or no rights. It's a grift at the expense of human lives. They don't actually care about immigration, they're just using white supremisists as pawns to achieve their goals. They'll also use them to eliminate political opposition to avoid eventual consequences if anyone with a spine ever gets back in power.

First they came for immigrants ...

This ends with millions dead. arm yourselves. Improve your family’s chance of survival

Cue glitter being declared a weapon of mass destruction.

No, honey, I wasn’t at the strip club… I was, uh, an undercover ICE agent!

[–] regedit@feddit.online 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'll take divorcee for $200, please, Alec!

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Just admit you were at the strip club. It's less embarrassing. You can frame it as supporting local business.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 60 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Okay ,so if they covered in glitter, they're ICE. If not, they're kidnappers for god knows what. I think it's imperative people be able to distinguish their kidnappers, since the federal government is unable to do this.

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Shit! An ICE agent!

No honey, I am a stripper.

If you see an armed person with a mask, assume hostile intent. Call 911 and report masked people with guns.

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean... yes but that's only going to slightly annoy. Sadly I think this is going to take actually using a "stand your ground" law correctly. IE how the hell can anyone argue against, I saw a gang of masked men with a gun coming towards me and I feared for my life.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

The dream is for trigger-happy cops to show up and start shooting at armed individuals in masks.

Teach both groups a lesson about how to approach citizens.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Reality is, cops are as, if not more, likely to shoot at you or help ICE kidnap you to a concentration camp

Is there an online database for naming and shaming them yet?

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 week ago

I’ve seen this link floating around:

https://icelist.info/

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was thinking of this idea as well. How do you verify and vet all that shit. It could get some innocent people hurt.

Super Soakers and water balloons full of bright orange permanent dye.

[–] Schmeckinger@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I wouldn't point anything vaguely gun shaped at them.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Unmarked Vehicles masked men no uniforms no identification no badges? I think you should point a gun at them immediately. You have no way of knowing who they are and if they're about to murder you.

[–] Schmeckinger@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you do they will certainly murder you and even if you win the gunfight your life is pretty much over.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Sure if I'm the only one doing it. If we're all doing it suddenly there's a lot less of them. So they either stop or they die. That's how we win. That's how fighting against fascism works.

Garden sprayers would work but honestly they will probably shoot you the second something comes flying at them

If spitting on people is assult, dispensing a pre made chemical mixture is going to be on the scale.

Is this true? I haven’t seen articles or videos about it yet.

[–] rysiek@szmer.info 40 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Best I can tell it originated from a satire website. It is still hilarious.

This is a memes community. Take anything and everything posted here with a grain of salt. Or glitter.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 22 points 1 week ago

Maybe this will give people some fabulous ideas.

Get a paintball gun with the paint balls filled with that permanent dye banks use for bank robbers.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 week ago

Beet root boiling water is a very stubborn dye to wash off too.

We used to use tar and feathers... Oh how we've fallen as a civilization.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly, this is way better because of the implications of what they've been doing. Also, their neighbors will know to avoid them.

That ICE agent's name? Albert Einstein.

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If I lived in an area where these thugs were operating and was concerned for my safety I’d consider carrying something like This long before I’d consider glitter. Let these thugs explain to family & friends why their faces look like blue/purple raccoon masks.

I actually love this.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Me. I was saving actually doing it for like September (back to school sales would save me a fuckload on glitter) but I guess I wasn't creative enough and gotta think up something else.
