Western societies aren't getting the message so here is another post to clarify what's happening: ICE agents in Maine just photographed a civilian’s face and name and said they’re putting it in a database. When the woman asked why, the agent’s response was basically: “Now you’re considered a domestic terrorist.” This is intimidation. Not law enforcement

That’s what they do. They have an app on their phone, when they scan your face it IDs who you’re.
There is not nearly enough context in this video to discern what happened. We make snap decision on 5 second clips rather than finding the context around it. Usually it's clipped for a reason, to further some bias etc
marking one as a terrorist today is the equivalent of when one could be accused of being a witch for any reason. Just by hearing that phrase everyone gets upset and believes it automatically without the need for any proof, because everyone is already educated to believe it without hesitation

Ice is wearing masks and claiming to be putting together a terrorist database. What other context do you need? You are allowed to observe and film public officials. The fact that you would even accept masked law enforcement is absurd.
We don't know what proceeded this video. All I am saying is we are way to fast to evaluate stuff with little to no context. Yes masked police is unacceptable. You are now talking specifically about something I didn't mention. I never justified ANYTHING in this video. If you think that reread my note.
Na only a few suckers. Plenty of bootlickers no matter where you go

Likely nothing preceded this video. Anything mildly serious and ice would have shot or gassed this dude as we have seen time and again. The agents of the state generally suck. Ice agents are some of the worst.
This is the shit we’re talking about. Stopping random looking non-white Americans and asking them for papers(proof of citizenship). You can find many video examples online.
Nostr is anti establishment. And there is nothing more establishment than a bunch of masked feds with “total immunity”
Here’s a video of Border Patrol Chief shooting video content just to look like they’re doing something. This video has two different angles. You can see that this was unnecessary show of force. You can find many videos of from Border Patrol Chiefs own social media accounts posting similar videos, of him confronting protesters unnecessarily.
Show your papers!!!! “Two players from the New York City-based soccer team Manhattan Celtic were held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents following a training session this week. An ICE presence turned up at Pier 40 at Hudson River Park, where the team trains, and checked players' identification documents. Understandably, some of the players did not have passports to hand as they were merely going about their daily business, but two were held as a result, with ICE requesting the documentation. Club representatives needed to intervene in order to get their players released, and members of the local soccer community are now advising soccer teams training on Pier 40 to carry their passports, as driving licenses and other ID were apparently not enough for ICE”. image
If they want to label people terrorists anyhow and treat them as such they shouldn't be surprised when they defend themselves forcefully.
Why in a country guaranteeing the means of self-defense and fighting back against tryanny like America are the people allowing this Gestapo bullshit. And don't give me the line that we dare not use violence because that is what "they" want and then will treat us ever so much worse. The Founders wanted us to have the means and the will to STOP out of control government and forcefully if necessary. We have become a nation of "oh please don't be mean to me because I won't do anything to stop you if you do so I am harmless and can only appeal to your better nature". This is an attitude that the tyrants love.

None of them have read the constitution. Much less can cite it.
