It's so weird when people can't tell they're the villains in the story. People wake up like "doo da doo time to put on my ski mask and cover my badge number like a hero would." "I'm not wrong, it's the crying family I'm tearing apart that is the problem." - ThreadSky

They don't see their victims as people...worthy of empathy...what's more, they're sociopaths or psychopaths so they don't have empathy at all...now they have an outlet for their hate and anger

If criminals did endanger the families of police officers, then there would be no need to hide their identity.

Gestapo ghouls. But in the end, retribution is in store for them.

Its called cognitive dissonance- you lie to yourself and believe the lie.

Then again, ask yourself - why is "The Lorax" on the banned book list?

johnrage.bsky.social•15 days ago

The people who don't see themselves as a villain doing this have long ago written off all immigrants as not people. They are protecting America from non-humans that are invading. Children, mothers, grandparents, etc are not seen by them as people. They are heroes fighting monsters in their mind.

That is a truly horrifying thought.

Just read your bio. Fellow Puerto Rican here. Right on, brother.

IF WHITE AMERICA DOES NOTHING TO STOP THIS, TRUMP WILL NOT STOP.
WHITE AMERICA MUST STOP THE WHITE ADMINISTRATION.

That’s why they need a church group to tell them they are righteous.
Onward Christian soldiers.

shibbybypass.bsky.social•15 days ago

They don't care.

helliongamer.bsky.social•14 days ago

They joined up so they could get paid to hurt people. They don't care about "morality" and "ethics", they believe might makes right.

Can I post this on my FB page?

Many actually think they are heroes because white supremacist hate tells them foreigners need to be expelled from the U.S. by any means necessity. They don’t see the family as equal to theirs due to hate and feeling of superiority. As Miller puts it they think they are saving white “civilization”

seoulsister1920.bsky.social•15 days ago

You’re right; I hadn’t thought of that. White supremacy is a horrifying thing.

thrive2024.bsky.social•15 days ago

Christianity brainwashes people to do horrible things and then believe that they are good and their evil is justified.

krrow.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yep, like that whole thing about "Kill the Indian to save the man." They believe they are on a righteous mission against evil.

No they know they're wrong. Hence the mask. They don't want to have to be called out to their face by either family or a neighbor. They love the violate peoples right stuff; but they hate feeling the consequence of their fascism.

seoulsister1920.bsky.social•15 days ago

Kind of makes you think of the Klan, doesn’t it?

davidgoesplaces.bsky.social•15 days ago

I believe this. When the country has truly fallen, they masks will come off, literally. Right now, they're still very concerned about being held accountable for their actions.

adhdandd.bsky.social•15 days ago

It’s because that’s not their internal narration. They think, “I wear this mask & cover my badge… to protect my family. I’m like Batman!”

And…”Not even these crying paid actor children will divert me from my duty to rid this country of these traffickers of people and drugs”

Tl;dr: they’re broken.

chowyunmatt.bsky.social•16 days ago

They stopped believing in the humanity of immigrants a while ago.

anthnyw.bsky.social•15 days ago

It’s Trump posting a Star Wars image of himself holding a red lightsaber. They just dont get it.

decib.bsky.social•15 days ago

I think there are a lot of people out, for a multitude of reasons, that attracted to certain professions because they want to feel powerful and exert unconditional power over others and instill fear in others. This is the moment they’ve been waiting for to do just that.

A number of tech bros seem to think Sauron was the good guy in lotr so maybe comprehension is way down

parnell3.bsky.social•15 days ago

They know what they're doing, and they don't care!

reasonpolicy.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yeah, their ability to uncritically think of themselves as the hero’s of peace and order stemming the tide of chaos and crime is just amazing.

atheistoutloud.bsky.social•15 days ago

They are as immune to compassion as the German Gestapo was. i don't know how they can go home and hug their own kids knowing they are separating children from parents and sibs. They have to be the worst Americans among us. I couldn't imagine being married to any of these degenerates!

frothythesquirrel.bsky.social•15 days ago

If trump targeted the families of ICE, the same people who wore masks and gleefully tore families apart would go maskless on Fox News, crying about how un-American it was.

Amen brother. It’s like they heard about the brown shirts in Jr High history and said “now THAT is a job for me!”

How did they hold themselves back for the 4 years Biden was in office. Were they just chomping at the bit?

veracitynexus.com•15 days ago

They dont care about the repercussions, they're only focused on that bonus and family vacation to Cancun at the end of their contract.

Materialistic superficial people operating within a commercial society.

This isnt a phenomenon, it's simple capitalism.

pettytyrant.bsky.social•15 days ago

I think it’s that they truly *do not care* about being the villain. The normal assumption is that they want to avoid it, but these people seem to relish being the villain. They voted for him to hurt people they hate, and he’s doing just that.

rogueneteng.bsky.social•15 days ago

It's not weird - they signed up. They're on board. They probably love it. Sure, there's some outliers, but I'm sure these people love to exercise power, probably love white supremacy, or maybe think they are engaged in some noble goal to "protect America". They don't know America. Never will.

serfthewave.bsky.social•15 days ago

They don't care until they're on trial for it.

decib.bsky.social•15 days ago

Will they? We just pardoned all the Jan 6th rioters. Gave one’s family $5m and handed out pardons to people who defrauded the government… Trumps actions telegraph he’s giving everyone who supports his agenda a pass when it comes to decency and follow the law

serfthewave.bsky.social•15 days ago

Sorry, care should have been in quotes like this: "care"

eyeseeall.bsky.social•15 days ago

But this is what you also do to the world! America has been messing with other countries not too dissimilar to this, so, welcome to the rest of the world!

tension352.bsky.social•15 days ago

They have been trained their entire careers that they are heroes and everyday you do whatever you have to do to come home alive. They are told the world is out to get them and their lives are most important.

This attitude is endemic at all levels of law enforcement and it's incredibly toxic.

professorfurious.bsky.social•15 days ago

Exactly this. When their top priority became their personal safety "protect and serve" curdled into preemptive oppression.

tension352.bsky.social•15 days ago

Though this implies they ever actually cared about protecting and serving.

professorfurious.bsky.social•15 days ago

Fair. Everyone has personal motives for taking these jobs, but they're not all completely cynical or focused on themselves. Their group culture may push them that way, but not everyone is a perfect expression of their culture.
