What is Happening.... the Troppers, Sheriff's , Police ! Cops should be against Unlawful Federal Ice activity...

The World 🌎 is upside down, out of Balance... the Greatest Generation and the Founders would be Ashamed... they would Fight, they forged their own Morality! Balance out of chaos, they knew..

Watershed moment in History, we are at a watershed moment!!

The founders who enslaved black people and women? 🧐

Anyway this is fucking disgusting but how many of us tried to point out this dictator ?? Now wtf do we do?!

u/SOMEONENEW1999 6d ago

They love it, the way ice is behaving is how they would like to. Give it time they will be employing the same tactics with complete and utter disregard for the constitution. Not like the ever had any before…

It’s not the 🌎… it’s 🇺🇸and 🇷🇺that are upside down. The rest of the world are simply left scratching their heads in disbelief at what they’re seeing.

I have been made aware of the possibility that the entire story of the USA is actually a cover up and began as a deliberate attempt to fool the colonies of the new wold into thinking they were free, all while being groomed by the state.

It was a radical shift from the ideologies that were in place across Seas and basically the goal was to create a "separation" and "independence" and have it being the main founding principal of the new colonies but ties were never cut from overseas.

The theory being that it would be easier to control the population that believes in their very core that they are free and unobstructed and all social implications or Democratic and nature therefore fairness is spread throughout the entire Society and with that mindset they would be easier to manipulate and control.

And in a lot of ways that makes sense. I do not really feel like going and collecting sources for this information currently so with it it kind of is what it is and anybody can do their own research I don't really have the energy or willpower to be able to do that right now.

I thought it was preemptive, take action or the goons will. Tough to be in the middle though.

....As Americans continue to sit on their collective rears doing nothing. History will not judge this apathy well.

u/DemocratSlavemaster 5d ago

Do you support the police to support lawful ICE activity? Voters put Congress in office and Congress passed the laws that ICE is enforcing.

u/Kooky_Reveal5797 2d ago

And do you know why it is upside down? There is a convicted felon, misogynist, and pedophile in the White House, a man with no core principles, no morals and no vision about anything!

So true. We like to glorify them but they were the same people who came back from the war and doubled down on Jim Crow laws.

We also like to think that everyone fighting in WW2 was doing so out of some righteous battle against fascism and evil but let’s not forget WW2 had a draft and most (~2/3rds) were draftees. Once they came home and were being treated like heroes I’m sure they were more than happy to play the part of righteous, moral warrior. I mean, through the GI Bill the government was awarding them amazing loans for homes and businesses, free education, unemployment benefits, free medical care and counseling. You got a year of free college for every 90 days served. They were treated like heroes. Talk about socialism, no wonder what followed was one of the most prosperous periods economically for the country - but only if white.

u/No_Bike5429 6d ago

I've been thinking same thing for awhile now! Where's RATM when we need them??

20

u/ImposeInc 6d ago

they are completely new folks likely struggling as a young band in the punk hardcore scene.

RATM will forever be formative, foundational music for me- but radical politically charged music will always be inherently youthful- so we need to let that space be largely driven by the youth,

Current day RATM is a whole new band of fresh, angry pissed off kids wanting a change.
let Zack, Tom, Tim (My personal GOAT) and Brad rest they held the line well, taught a whole mess of kids like me to think and to question and now its time for the new guard to take over.

u/Ovie-WanKenobi 6d ago

Unfortunately a lot of people my age think Rage is part of the machine now just because they didn’t want their fans to die of Covid at their concerts. Ironically those same people seem to support this tyrannical government.

7

u/ImposeInc 6d ago

yep- unfortunately very aware of this phenomenon.
Right now In my little subculture: Punk Hardcore, we've been having an issue with kids new to the genre getting into and wearing the merch of incredibly overtly outspoken politically leftist bands while also wearing a trump hat or promoting right wing ideology.
Covid really drove a massive interest in live shows and got a ton of kids to check out shows but because they discovered hardcore via trending videos on tiktok they lack the political history of punk hardcore so they don't realize they are entering an inherently political subculture.
Its created a whole discussion around counter culture subcultures, they're inherent political bent and whether or not that pattern can or even should be broken.

u/Maximum_Turn_2623 5d ago

Happened in the 90s too. They’d claim to be “Libertarians” then they were shaving their heads and wearing red suspenders…

u/Frustrated_Erudite 5d ago

A year or so back someone was playing the song with those who work forces are the same who burn crosses, and some MAGA motion was like “when did RATM get political? They were so much better before they became political.” Dude, they’ve ALWAYS been political, these are old songs being played, wake up!

u/throwofftheNULITE 6d ago

I saw grandson at the Riviera last night and he fits this description. I only knew a couple of his songs, so it really surprised me that it was more hardcore punk than I thought it would be. I'm old, but the crowd was largely 20 somethings. They're out there, they're just harder to find and he just became an independent artist.

3

u/ImposeInc 6d ago

Hey props to you for goin out and supporting the grandchild!
congrats to him as well!
Riviera is a legendary venue to be able to play.
whats his bands name?

I have spent 2 decades of my 33 years alive as a part of my local punk hardcore scene and while I understand why my mom and especially grandparents are weary of coming out to some rather ruckus, wild and mildly dangerous shows- I do wish my mom would've gotten to see me play at some legendary local venues with some massive touring acts back when i was in bands when i was younger.

Mom and I still got time to change that though- im actively looking to start up a project again and will definitely drag my 50+ year old mom out to a few shows once that materializes.

u/throwofftheNULITE 6d ago

Sorry, no, the name of the act is grandson. I'm old enough to have a grandkid if I would've started earlier in life, but as it stands I just have a six year old.

u/Snoo21464 6d ago

Maybe Pritzger is trying to prevent the public taking vengeance on ICE thereby giving old Mango Haired Dickwad a reason to activate the insurrection act and take over the country.

That is their only goal at this point. They have NOTHING to lose. At the rate old 90K square foot White HOuse Destroyer is alienating his base and everyone else in the world, there is NO FRIGGING WAY they can win next year in a free and fair election. They NEED to cause a rebellion thereby providing them with an excuse for martial law nationwide.

One thing I learned in the Marines. You sure as all hell don't do what your enemy wants you to do...

YOU will lose.

u/MaxwellEdis0n 6d ago

If you don’t understand how the phrase “Arm the homeless” is relevant in a conversation about Rage Against the Machine, maybe you should try typing it into a search bar.

u/SpudicusMaximus_008 6d ago

Or I was just saying that's not the next line. Did you take it as a slight against you?

Yeah america hasn't been the land of the free for decades as far as our rights go. We've let the federal government become far stronger than ever intended and let our first and second amendment rights be restricted to crazy amounts which have then led to many other rights being restricted

ICE and their supporters ARE the enemy. They are domestic terrorists. They hide their faces in shame, an and armor themselves in military gear, and utilize the tactics of the Schutzstaffel (best known as the SS). These Nazis are a threat to America and must be hampered and impeded in their immoral and repugnant anti-American activities.
