      How is the right’s habit of ignoring facts and believing what they want to believe working out for us? Let’s also do that, great idea.

    I Don’t know how to post this: https://streamable.com/i0mx3e but it’s so actual: a scene from Star Trek: Picard about ICE assholes (and the series is 6 years old!) I was watching this series from DVD and suddenly it got actual as duck. i was shocked :-)

    I tried to to post it but Lemmy says it’s not possible. If you know how to do that than feel free of course! I have the original clip and its 8 MB big.

    This thread is full of people imagining that he committed war crimes in Iraq, but it’s also very likely that he once had discipline, the threat of consequences, formal training in weapons, use of force, the rules of engagement, and the concept of restraint.

    It’s far likelier IMO that when he joined law enforcement, and particularly ICE, he felt that he could be less restrained.

      You think that the military was more restrained in Iraq than ICE is in the US? Really? We all know the name of this murderer, his victim’s name, how it all happened from several angles and so on. There were hundreds of thousands of victims of the US military in Iraq. How many of those murderers can you name, along with how they killed and the names of their victims? It’s amazing that even after scandals and atrocities like Abu Ghraib, people can utter nonsense like this. The military completely destroyed a civilisation in Iraq, but the suffering of Americans at the hands of ICE is somehow worse?

    these type of white people have a fetish of asian wives, they think because they are submissive and readily for sex and other things, or my favorite, is when they brag about having an asian wife it means they arnt “racist”, because they couldnt get white wives they think asian ones are easier to get.

        i had a psych professor i once took in a community college, and she said white men would come up to her and say/brag about or hit on her, but then say they arnt racist because they had a ASIAN WIFE.

        its the same thing how white people in racist group have a BLack token to not seem racist.

        alot of conservatives/gop seem to have immigrant or asian wives, they know they cant get with a white woman that is not from a super conservative community, because they are almost always usually taken.

    I’m sure she posts a lot of “Christian” quotes and imagery. That she both loves and despises her relatives heavily dependent on remittances and handouts. On top of that, the “fuck you got mine” mindset.

      Fucking bang on. He wanted to escalate and murder someone, and he did it.

      And, let’s face it, there’s probably more than a few Iraqis that aren’t alive because of him.
      Am I harsh to throw that in? No, I don’t think so. If this is the murderous shit he pulls in his own state in his country, then wtf type of horrors would he pull in a place like Iraq…

    Freikorps were irregular German and other European paramilitary volunteer units that existed from the 18th to the early 20th centuries. They effectively served as mercenaries or private military companies, regardless of their own nationality.

    In the aftermath of World War I and during the German Revolution of 1918–19, Freikorps, consisting partially of World War I veterans, were raised as paramilitary militias. They were ostensibly mustered to fight on behalf of the government against the German communists attempting to overthrow the Weimar Republic. However, many Freikorps also largely despised the Republic and were involved in assassinations of its supporters, later aiding the Nazis in their rise to power.

      These men hate women who wear the pants.

      They choose these specific women because some of such women cling so much, “faithful”, and are easily cowed into submission.

      I know this because I am an actual Filipino in the Philippines and we do have people like that, literally chasing after money regardless of suffering or despair many get in exchange.

        You seem to have a particularly bigoted view of Asian women that you seem to have found an outlet for in this thread hiding behind people’s anger at this murder. But there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of daylight between this racist murderer’s attitude towards immigrants and your attitude towards Asian women. “Such women cling so much”? You wish buddy. Despicable.

      Immigrants are often weirdly anti-immigration. Seeing other immigrants reminds them of their own outsider status, so they get really into notions of Good Immigrant vs Bad Immigrant.

        Not an immigrant, but a Jew who attended a primarily Christian private school for a few years. Others of your ilk aren’t just a reminder of your own outside status—all the assholes around you take care of that on your behalf. When your classmates are told that playing “smear the queer” is not okay, but “get the Jew” is “fine,” finding someone like you presents an opportunity.

        You could use the opportunity to possibly defend yourselves through unification, but we all know that’s not what you’re going to do. No, you’re going to do what was done to me. You’re going to let fear and anger guide you, because how could two of you possibly fight back; you don’t even know each other. You’re going to join the in-crowd by becoming an aggressor to the new outsider. And as long as they’re there to take the heat, you get to chill with people who will throw you in the fire as soon as they’re done with the other outsiders.

          As an aside, “kill the guy with the ball” is apparently ok. It turns out I was woke even when a kid - “smear the queer” felt wrong even when I didn’t know what that meant. But killing is fine?

              It’s a multiplayer death match game mode where one player has the ball or skull or whatever and all the other players try to kill that player. Whoever does gets the ball and repeat till game is over, whoever had the ball longest wins. Kids also used to play a variation during recess where one kid would have the ball and the others would try to tackle them to steal the ball. Same rules, whoever had the ball longest wins. It would get pretty violent at times. But it was often called things like “smear the queer” or other euphemisms for hate crimes because the Midwest is bigoted as fuck.

        doesnt surprise me, they cant get with a white woman or another woman in the states because thier racism is repulsive to them, or they are wierd people. they think an immigrant wife is more submissive, because they can hold it over thier heads.

        Another thing i noticed is they choose immigrants are more ignorant and not up to date on the current politics/beliefs , they want a blank slate where the guy doesnt have to worry that the woman is up to thier BULLSHIT and dump them for someone that is a better SO. i was once following a youtuber/s one was obviously conservative but tries to hide behind “liberterian/progessive values” in the end he got with a british chick from the isles, it was discussed on thier subreddit, he chose the chick because she wouldnt know about how offensive his “holier than thou” right ring attitude is. because his previous GFs on the channel is all aware of his BS, and implied he was just a manchild, it was asian tuber channel, who originally hosted a variety of guests.

        My ex has an uncle who imported a much younger wife. Yes he was always very conservative (and racist) and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a maga true believer. It always seemed questionable.

        However she was always very independent, to the point of bringing over her medical licensing, and was well on her way toward building a successful independent life that she couldn’t have back home. Some of these may be working well for both parties

          wonder if that woman is going to ditch him after she gets her MD license certified. which is can take a long time, because being an MD in the US if your in immigrant who went to med school elsewhere is pretty difficult.

          I once got roped into a discussion by a far-right populist election stand. Me, clearly an immigrant. IDK why he didn’t just give up. Maybe because his far-Eastern wife was standing nearby, smiling, offering soft drinks to passersby, and probably listening. IDK. Anyhow, I asked him what his party can do for me specifically, an immigrant and non-citizen. It was a joy to listen to him stumble through that. Then I looked at his wife, who looked at me intently and had a big grin on her face. It was very clear that she had her own opinions on her man’s shenanigans.

        Slavers weren’t consistently anti-immigration. They were just opposed to free and open immigration.
