It's weird how well they knew what to claim while claiming the opposite

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 96 points 1 week ago (3 children)

You mean the country that invented fascism doesn't see the problem with ICE?

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 39 points 1 week ago (4 children)

This is their current Prime Minister...

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I see "Mussolini" and "buon politico" and feel like I can piece enough together.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't speak Italian either, but I know enough Spanish (not much) to figure out what it says...

[–] YellowParenti@lemmy.wtf 9 points 1 week ago

Speak spanish

I think that mussolini was a good politician

To be fair, the SS used IBM and cocaine to achieve levels of efficiency that ICE can only dream of. ICE is using hallucinating LLMs and Sudafed, clearly.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago

And also currently have a fascist government.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 81 points 1 week ago

Buddy, your grandpa got the same thing wrong 90 years ago.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 57 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Why is US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement even going to provide security for a sports event in another country, anyway? It seems bizarrely out of scope.

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 1 week ago

Honestly, it's a rare chance for us Europeans to organise a huge protest against ICE. Now I'm kinda dreaming this happens.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

They will deport all the Italians in Italy, obviously.

They already have no legitimacy in the US, fuck business do they have going to another country?

It IS exactly inviting gestapo to your country. Other country's hit squad having no jurisdiction whatsover.

[–] Ascendor@discuss.tchncs.de 37 points 1 week ago

Well, yes it is.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago

This will age like milk

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 week ago

yah it kind of is turning into that.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

My boy Antonio really just went with the first comparison that jumped to mind.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Really? Explain how this isn't that exact situation.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 week ago

it's not like the SS are coming

That is a strangely specific comment, especially about a group that constantly is compared to the SS .... Because they fucking behave like the SS!

So yeah, yes! The SS are coming and you're rolling out the red carpet

Fuck these Nazis, you should all block their entrance to the country. Hell, Europe should have a requirement that (ex) ice employees aren't welcome. They so the same for ex nazis, don't they?

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

I don't understand why they would go in the first place. They are homeland security. That's not our home land wtf

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

I was wondering what role they would be in as well.

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Well obviously they will be checking for illegal immigrants that might be hiding in Italy

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

Wouldn’t it be the brown shirts?

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah. Sturmabteilung (SA) aka briwnshirts is technically the more accurate comparison.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

what "Immigrations Customs Enforcement" objective can it possibly serve to send ICE to italy?

It seems like they're trying to turn the olympics into some kind of fascist goon festival.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

They're just there to keep the trains running on time.

[–] Dremor@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

More like the SA.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 16 points 1 week ago

What an odd thing to say.

Why would of all groups of people the SS would pop into their head, unprompted? Hmmmmm.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It is like the SS are coming.

I’ve taken to calling them ICEatzgruppen.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's like the sa are coming. The ss were a military company, the sa were political police.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And einsatzgruppen were the extermination specialists of the SS. Considering the summary executions they’ve started to get enthusiastic about… well, you connect the dots/

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You think that gaggle of uppity morons are execution specialists and not a mob of political police?

This is like some always sunny shit.

"it's not like the SS is coming"

Cue the always sunny title music and the text "the SS ruins the Olympics"

[–] shithawk@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah like that's never happened before

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

Puttana motherfucker.

Mussolini II

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

Well, not yet. Maybe, not exactly. Early stage Gestapo perhaps?

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

The Sturmabteilung (SA), also known as the brownshirts are more apt. ICE is far too bumbling, incompetent and obvious to be the Geheime Staatspolizei, or secret state police.

[–] europhile@feddit.org 8 points 1 week ago

No but its like the SA is coming.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

No, it's the SA or GeStaPo.

[–] xyro@morbier.foo 7 points 1 week ago

It kinda is ..

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So if this does happen, I expect the airport where they land to become a shit show of Europe protests... Let these motherfuckers see how real protests are done and how fucking hated these goons are.

Ask ICE goons their opinions on Jews and other minorities, you'll change your tone. Italians are classic criminal aliens in the US.
