🧙‍♂️These three things, monks, are conducted in secret, not openly. What three? Affairs with women, the mantras of the brahmins, and wrong view.

If the clip is of an ICE guy getting stomped by multiple protestors, it cajoles the groyper will to fight and rage. If clip is an ICE guy getting outwitted or scurrying away, there's no rallying cry they can form around that.

NYC residents: get your vote in for Mamdani and anyone else not named Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams before the police arrest you for protesting

if you're not Anglo you get a new surname based on the town you're from or your father's given name

I'd like to think so too… but why is it so hard to get something closer to that? Any proposal that would cover the second group of immigrants you mention is shot down as "amnesty".

when do the protests expand to the propaganda outlets?

The Soviets plotted a joint invasion of Poland and divvied up Eastern and Northern Europe with the Nazis.
The Germans didn't wage war against the Soviets until after 2 years of war with the Allies, come on now.

You're interpreting appeasement policy as evidence the West sympathized ideologically with Hitler, while interpreting the much more egregious actions of the Soviets (Molotov-Ribbentrop, Secret Protocol, talks to join the Axis alliance) as Stalin just buying time and practicing geopolitical strategy.

okay so then why do the communists support it?

Fair enough but this undermines the all the cited evidence for the original claim that Stancil quoted about the West loving Hitler for being a fascist capitalist (an oxymoron)— that is, that there were antisemites among them and appeasement shows they didn't actually want to fight Germany.

The problem is that I don't believe Stalin's sympathies can be explained by him loving a "capitalist fascist", and yet he pursued a closer alliance with Nazi Germany more than any of the other Allied state. 🤔

Can we also call Stalin a Nazi sympathizer for making his deal with Hitler to carve up Poland and negotiating to join the Axis alliance? He was also infamously antisemitic, if that helps.

don't forget the hundreds of millions he's spending trying to instigate a civil war in LA

They had to leave some of their vehicles behind when they were driven out of the AC Hotel Pasadena because people had slashed their tires. lamag.com/news-and-pol...

they're probably not willing to spend the resources to actually have a human investigate those reports and if anything significant happened automatically based on them it would probably become another vector of harassment via mass-reporting

Ah, that makes sense. I suspect people not reading the article may come away with it the wrong impression though.

Why do you say "it makes it seem that if we just prevent more housing from being built…" when the article is about building housing and gives examples of new housing being built?

The Civil Rights struggle was *very* violent, it's just that the violence was almost entirely one-sided--in keeping with the expectation and comfort of white people. Those who faced down this violence deserve our praise, but if we would honor them, we'd remember that it was a very violent struggle.

The goal of these ICE protests is to slow down the monster and, ultimately, to kill it. There is no negotiation. There are no demands. Cease, or die.

I wonder how many places ICE will get run out of before they realize that harassing the hotel staff is highly correlated with protestors finding out where they're staying
