Text: ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out wearing masks in unmasked cars with no uniforms or identification, protesters keep dumping pounds of glitter on them so that everyone can tell they're ICE for days afterwards.

Image below the text: a man in white shirt and black tie and glasses, with a raised hand, as if trying to get someone's attention.

Text on that image: who had "Glitter bombing the Gestapo" on their bingo card?

Get a paintball gun with the paint balls filled with that permanent dye banks use for bank robbers.

Beet root boiling water is a very stubborn dye to wash off too.

Smells like pig in here

Arm yourselves. This isn’t a joke.

They want millions dead.

Do you know that the KKK would disperse & never come back when would-be victims armed themselves and shot at them? A big element in the civil rights movement was vets coming back from the world wars with combat experience and firing back on their oppressors. Those are stories that get lost in the pEaCefUL pRoTeST propaganda, but arming up and defending their communities was a huge piece of the black civil liberties movement.

Anyway, point is, turns out people who hide behind masks to commit terroristic acts are truly, deeply chickenshit. I'm willing to bet ICE would do the exact same thing as the KKK if fired back upon.

The only good Nazi is dead.

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

Not important cuz it's obvious what your saying but I feel like the second half of the statement is necessary. This kinda implies there was one good Nazi

The 2 go hand in hand. The peaceful element provides cover and public cause support for the more militant elements. They also make it harder to concentrate forces to deal with them.

In turn, the militant add teeth to the peaceful element.

An intelligent government acts early, before the militant elements can come to bear. But for best results both (technically all 3, including political) are required.

Another good example are the Irish troubles. The IRA, while prominent, couldn't "win". The marches, and Sinn Fein did.

The people in charge want to fill private prisons with a vulnerable population who have no recourse as they have little or no rights. It's a grift at the expense of human lives. They don't actually care about immigration, they're just using white supremisists as pawns to achieve their goals. They'll also use them to eliminate political opposition to avoid eventual consequences if anyone with a spine ever gets back in power.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 13 hours ago

First they came for immigrants ...

[–] PunkRockSportsFan@fanaticus.social 18 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

This ends with millions dead. arm yourselves. Improve your family’s chance of survival

Super Soakers and water balloons full of bright orange permanent dye.

[–] Schmeckinger@lemmy.world 25 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I wouldn't point anything vaguely gun shaped at them.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Unmarked Vehicles masked men no uniforms no identification no badges? I think you should point a gun at them immediately. You have no way of knowing who they are and if they're about to murder you.

[–] Schmeckinger@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

If you do they will certainly murder you and even if you win the gunfight your life is pretty much over.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Sure if I'm the only one doing it. If we're all doing it suddenly there's a lot less of them. So they either stop or they die. That's how we win. That's how fighting against fascism works.

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You need enough to be willing to give their life. Because some are still going to die.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

That's true. Complacency is always the greatest Ally of fascism.

[–] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 13 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Garden sprayers would work but honestly they will probably shoot you the second something comes flying at them

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

If spitting on people is assult, dispensing a pre made chemical mixture is going to be on the scale.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Might as well mix in something caustic then

Why not just use H2O2?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 9 points 11 hours ago

And make it smell bad.

No, honey, I wasn’t at the strip club… I was, uh, an undercover ICE agent!

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Just admit you were at the strip club. It's less embarrassing. You can frame it as supporting local business.

[–] regedit@feddit.online 19 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I'll take divorcee for $200, please, Alec!

If you see an armed person with a mask, assume hostile intent. Call 911 and report masked people with guns.

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 21 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I mean... yes but that's only going to slightly annoy. Sadly I think this is going to take actually using a "stand your ground" law correctly. IE how the hell can anyone argue against, I saw a gang of masked men with a gun coming towards me and I feared for my life.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 19 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

The dream is for trigger-happy cops to show up and start shooting at armed individuals in masks.

Teach both groups a lesson about how to approach citizens.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Reality is, cops are as, if not more, likely to shoot at you or help ICE kidnap you to a concentration camp

Cue glitter being declared a weapon of mass destruction.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 56 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Okay ,so if they covered in glitter, they're ICE. If not, they're kidnappers for god knows what. I think it's imperative people be able to distinguish their kidnappers, since the federal government is unable to do this.

[–] DemandtheOxfordComma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Cover them both in glitter. If you can't tell a kidnapper from an ICE agent they should all go to jail.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Send them all to El Salvador and sort it out later

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 28 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Shit! An ICE agent!

No honey, I am a stripper.

me walking out of a strip club after getting a bunch of dances: I'M NOT ICE! I'M JUST A PERVERT!

Is there an online database for naming and shaming them yet?

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 25 points 13 hours ago

I’ve seen this link floating around:

Is this true? I haven’t seen articles or videos about it yet.

[–] rysiek@szmer.info 39 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Best I can tell it originated from a satire website. It is still hilarious.

This is a memes community. Take anything and everything posted here with a grain of salt. Or glitter.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 22 points 14 hours ago

Maybe this will give people some fabulous ideas.
