Social ICE just shot two people in Portland

Nothing wrong with bootlicking, leftists love powerful dictators like Che, Stalin, Mao, Maduro and how they murdered and exiled millions of people

Any evidence of radical leftists liking Che, Stalin, Mao and Maduro? Che I can kinda get with all the Che Guevara tshirts that were going on 15+ years ago (but I would presume people wore those because it was fashionable, not because of some political message), but who the fuck "loves" Stalin, Maduro and Mao? What evidence do you have of leftists loving these dictators?

People were (rightfully so) opposed to how Trump admin deposed of Maduro after Trump admin campaigned on "bring troops back / no more USA as world police" - ain't no one actually liked Maduro lmao

Meanwhile you got Trump admin openly admiring Putin, a dictator that's in power for nearly 30 years now, to the point of convincing right wingers that Putin isn't a dirty commie that should be considered US enemy lol.

All these gun people are fucking weirdos in Murrka and they only exist there, I see them as just a symptom of Murrkan exentricity and decadence.

However, you must understand that the notion of „boot-licker“ is a very vague one. Conservative people are typically on the side of law and order, does that make them boot lickers? Do progressists who are typically on the side of DEI laws also boot-lick when they approve of it?

You don‘t strike me as a partisan hyperventilating idiot with low-IQ, so I think you will concede that boot licking is a notion that is quick to be applied to the side one doesn‘t like.

Obviously this doesn't apply to all but there is a clear trend the more extreme conservatism goes, getting into radical nationalistic territory, power is a big motivator and end-goal.

It's the essence of any authoritarianism, left or right next to fear and bogeymen.
Difference is that the left has other motivators as well the right mostly lacks.

As a matter of the thread we are discussing US politics, which saw a sharp shift into said terrain in the last years just like we saw in many other countries.

But unlike European countries the US has a special culture of extremes and ultra-capitalism mixed with evangelistic ideals, xenophobia and over the top decadence.

The right in the US is clearly prone to power, as seen by no resistance or meaningful critique of Trump, their gun-culture, which is mostly a conservative or libertarian (these are probably the exception) phenomena and their newfound love for authoritarian figures they can benefit off without any ethical or moral implications like Putin.

But yes, I sometimes tend to formulate hasty and a bit over the top final and one sided.

I got carded for saying "God damn, you’re a moron.", but what he said is perfectly fine.....

I think the most fascinating thing on this board over the past two days has been the complete inaction by any of our mods.

Boot licker

These people are really fucking stupid. Assuming they aren't bots, which I am not sure they aren't.

They could just google this shit and get the answers that yes, both ICE and Border Patrol can tell you to get the fuck out of your car.

They’re just juveniles acting tough. They probably mean mug the mirror saying “I wish a motherfucker would” before they leave their mom’s house to go out.

You never got carded, your post was simply deleted because that's literally all you said. Nothing came before or after it.

Stop crying about it.

Interesting post. I would agree with you for the most part in a euro context. Strong conservatism typically lends itself to more affinity with authority.

In Murrka by contrast you need to factor in the whole libertarian aspect whereby Gubment is always seen as bad as against freedom, as I think you pointed out, so that by that metric, conservatives should be more prone to hate authority in Murrka. On the other hand it s more complicated as conservatives are typically on the side of law and order.

Which showd once again that these issues are not black or white

You may not like it but it is the way it is and always has been.

Demand your leaders stop telling citizens to fight law enforcement and this shit wouldn't be happening.

republicans successfully neutered every second amendment supporter by convincing them immigrants are the problem and law enforcement should be revered.

Huh, crazy how my message says different.

But ok, what I did was so much worse than what has been said the past couple of days and has been left up.

Apologies for sort of butting in, but please please use the Report button. I know sometimes there’s kind of a stigma about reporting shit, but that’s the best thing to do.

Especially in threads like the main ICE shooting thread, that thing is like 130 pages now and moves very quickly. It’s very easy for us to miss stuff on a thread like that.
We’ve deleted quite a few posts, some yellows have been handed out. Sometimes I even see posters quoting a post that’s against the rules asking how it can be allowed—but they never reported it themselves, we come across it by chance. Reporting helps us see more.

LEOs are police, which are locally/county/state funded. Federal officers would be ICE, border patrol, FBI, etc. Totally different bracket.

Your AI is retarded.

The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a federal law enforcement agency under the United States Department of Homeland Security. Its stated mission is to conduct criminal investigations, enforce immigration laws, preserve national security, and protect public safety.

Your second amendment is not there so you can obstruct law enforcement. Nothing about what happened here has anything to do with the second amendment.

 

[Thrawn33]

The federal agents involved are CBP...not ICE, I know emotions are high and all Federal LEOs "look the same" to some of you but come on.

Crazy how you didn't get a card, derp.

I know you know how to use that report button. Feel free to send it over to us and we'll have a look for you.

And for the love of God don't abuse the report button. It's not there for posts you simply don't like.

I don't think that meme has ever been more appropriate.

There's a grey area there too. Unless someone is saying something crazy like "I hope someone xyz you tonight" or "you deserve painful balls deep Epstein treatment" (I'm using lesser words of what I really meant there) then I don't think it should be deleted at all. The report button should be reserved for true vile actions like someone posting CP or skat, openly direct threats against a user, doxxing, things of that nature. Online discussion forums shouldn't be about getting upset because someone has a different opinion, which happens way too often these days.

For example, if someone worships Trump as their Lord and Savior, it obviously isn't my jam, but they're more than entitled to do that and preach the cult. And I should be allowed to check them and call them a fool for being blind. Etc etc. It's called the War Room not "The Cuddle Room".

Anyway back to reading the thread, but tossing my 2 cents there.

They are not but very complex and nuanced dynamics and developments one should look at in each specific cultural and historic context.

Libertarianism are mainly against too much government influence but not exactly against a seemingly strong leader who represents those values.

They have no problem voting for a guy who promises to support more liberal trades and economic freedom, more private healthcare etc. screams communism and to clear the swamp of nepotism and traditional and inter-generational career-politicians.

A lot of libertarians who voted for Trump are now more critical of him but back then he was a promising candidate for many.

I went off the rails with ad homs yesterday towards @Roids which was uncalled for. Heated topic that got carried away. I apologize for repeatedly calling you a retard, even if you are horribly mistaken about your understanding of PTSD.
