    I genuinely do not consider that to be controversial.

    Fascists should be afraid for their safety, as a general rule. When they’re not, it’s a problem. As we can see now.

      ICE agents arent fascists. They are americans who want a high paying job. Its an awful job and only barely worth it with a six figure salary. If people took more of a stand against working there, they would raise the wages until people want to.

      In a way its a good thing these people are mostly doing it for money, which won’t much matter in a civil war.

        You are clearly not paying attention to the crazy hiring spree ICE is doing, and the ads they’re posting to drive it, or the sort of people that they’re hiring, or their predominant beliefs.

        Willful ignorance is a hell of a drug.

          I know what they are doing, and I know the type of people working there. They are not unforgivable or unredeemable, as much as it makes you feel good to say so.

          Lemmy and reddit both have a huge bias towards black and white thinking, which I think is shortsighted and immature.

            If a fascist wants to become not a fascist, good for them, and yes, they should be embraced for turning their backs on that insanity.

            That absolutely does not mean that fascists should be treated with kids gloves, or given the benefit of the doubt. Ever.

            You get empathy when you walk away from that shit. Not before.

              I simply dont think we should make them and their families scared to live in their homes. Thats not the point of all this, and its not going to change anyone’s mind.

              I will not condone what ia being done but I’m also not going to condemn the people doing it.

      There’s a reason why they hide their faces and want to hide their identities … they know what they are doing is wrong. They’re gambling on the idea that if their fascist government stays in place, they’ll be rewarded … but if their fascist government fails, then they can go back to normal society if no one knows who they are.

      If what they are doing is justified, moral and can be easily defended, then they would have no need to hide themselves.

        but if their fascist government fails, then they can go back to normal society of no one knows who they are.

        It should be trivial for a theoretical subsequent competent government to identify these people, but I’ve just about lost all hope that anyone will face consequences for doing fascist shit.

          They should be allowed to grow and change like anyone else. This thread is so full of hate I dont know how anyone here thinks they are an example of a “good” citizen.

          If any of y’all ran the government, we would be so much worse off right now.

              No, I support people defending themselves and their communities. I dont see how this doxxing site helps with that, it seems more like virtue signalling for terminally online “leftists”.
