Ah yes, the real and very successful strategy of fighting fire with more fire. Let's just go more fascist in the other direction, that'll show em!

My dude, I get that you're angry, but think about your ideas for a second before ejaculating them onto the Internet.

Confirming that they are actually ICE and that they did terrible things IS WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR JUSTICE. Letting people randomly accuse others and having that accusation lead to a literal hanging is not justice. If that's not what you mean then SAY WHAT YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE. We are real human beings having a conversation, not competing for Internet points.

violence is literally the only succesful strategy to fight against oppression, getting slapped and turning your other cheek is not going to work anytime. Violence =/= fascism.
