    The ICEatzgruppen like being on the side of the line that they’re on. They’re pretty much exclusively bullies. They enjoy acting with impunity. They view the world as zero sum, and are convinced there are terrorists and criminals hiding around literally every corner, and that they’re somehow virtuous bloodhounds saving “good Americans” from the “depraved immigrants”. The dudes who executed Alex Pretti were long timers, not fresh hires. Theres no excuse, and there’s no saving them.

      Most of them, yes. But I feel like the weight of their extended family and larger community calling them Nazi Brownshirts does actually weigh on their mental health. The goal here is to demoralize them as much as possible, and literally just shame them out of being fucking awful. Nazi thuggery doesn’t really work as well if the entirety of national culture thinks you’re a pathetic shitstain and you face active resistance every waking moment of the day.

      Yup. I’ve love to see a venn diagram of one circle being Jan 6 rioters, and the other circle being ICEstapo cunts. I bet it’s just a circle, or close to.
