    These guys are the worst

    ICE is nazis, but they’re really dumb. Just as dangerous, but literally cow shit for brains

        Hey now the OG Nazis also had the revanchists amongst the German nobility supporting them who did tend to be more intelligent, mind you they weren’t really ideologically Nazis but moreso just wanted to get back at Britain and France. Not defending them but compare that to the modern billionaires and well the downgrade is noticable.

      The average Nazi wasn’t exactly known for their keen minds. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have ended up as rank-and-file Nazis.

        Plenty of Nazis were smart. However, the brown shirts - analogous to ICE - were not.

          There were a handful of actual, smart, Nazis. The VAST majority lacked any kind of critical thinking or education.

            I disagree. Letting them off the hook because they were too stupid is right up there with the “I was just following orders” excuse. Besides, they were extremely efficient and organised. That’s not stupid. They were evil.

              No one is letting them off the hook, they can be stupid and evil- and deserve to burn. The people at the very top of the Nazi party did all of the organizing and made sure the Nazi army was efficient. Those people were smart and evil, and made up a tiny fraction of the Nazi party.

      So what you’re saying is, we need to outsmart the ICE? What are your ideas, but I guess we need to know how dumb they are.

      • Shiny objects
      • Women hitting on them and getting them to leave the sites by luring them
      • Hand out free concert flyers for the typical bands they love
      • Surround them while complementing them

        Woah surrounding them with a crowd paying them compliments sounds like a really good tactic.

            Yeah it would require a group dedicated to the bit, wow you have really great gears, you look really strong, I feel so safe with you all around.

      We should reject the notion that Nazis were simply dumb because that view treats Fascism as an aberration of individual stupidity instead of a systematic process of capitalism in crisis. There is some subtle ableism in attempting to correlate “stupidity” with fascism.
