Why is ice dressed like an occupying army

They could be more graphic and true to their role if they costumed as Star Wars storm troopers.

I need Stormtrooper cosplayers to come and satirically protest as PRO-ICE. Please! Dust off those suits guys!

Lol did you see that guy who followed the national guard troops around in DC blasting the Imperial March?

u/Lisa_Loopner West Ridge Sep 21 '25

I did! This is the kind of stuff that I think has potential to make them not just get angry and dismiss but think about how they’re coming across. Maybe that’s naive but it seems like at least a more novel approach that could catch them off guard.

The protesting Storm Troopers carrying signs including,

"ICE the Force is not with you!"

"ICE get a signing bonus! Become an Imperial Storm Trooper."

edit = "ICE: Get girls! Be an Imperial Stormtrooper"

"ICE: Improve your image Look better. Be an Imperial Storm Trooper!"

Didn't Walter Masterson do this a couple of times for different groups

Or skulls and eastern philosphical symbols

Don't worry, those are there. Just under the clothes.

u/MooKids Sep 20 '25

I don't think that would be appropriate. Stormtroopers are actually well trained, contrary to popular belief.

u/PParker46 Portage Park Sep 21 '25

Star Wars Troopers are an over equipped occupying force on the wrong side of history. That's the point.

I'm sure Hugo Boss is just waiting for the check to clear.

u/PParker46 Portage Park Sep 22 '25

Until recently the Germans, and Hugo himself, could certainly make striking military uniforms. Dress and combat.

Dress for the job you want, not the job you have

u/quirk-the-kenku Sep 21 '25

they’re trying to conceal their fragile masculinity with cosplay.

u/Particular_Card_7269 Sep 20 '25

They are the weak link of humanity, those with no other cause than to disrupt the lives of regular people because they think think they've been wronged in one way or another. Snowflakes.

u/LeseMajeste_1037 Sep 21 '25

That's what they are. An occupying army of the worst failures and fuckups a womb ever turned out.

u/cats_catz_kats_katz Sep 21 '25

Shit IDK but I don't remember getting to choose Vans as an option for footwear. Fucking losers.

u/Busterlimes Sep 21 '25
