    They are invading communities they do not live in to disrupt the lives of the people that do live there by abducting, murdering, and terrorising them with anonymity and impunity.

      Yes I get that but ICE is entirely formed, from idea to execution, by Americans

      Perhaps if you guys had done some instrospection about racism being engrained in America, instead of pretending it was all a lie, you could have started turning the ship around

      Better late than never though, it’s never too late to address an issue like this

        Thanks for the victim blaming and indifference, any other words of wisdom?

          Victim blaming would apply to the people abducted or killed by ICE. Last time I checked the US was still a democracy, with a very low level of participation.

          So yeah. There might not be a single cause to the rise of fascism in the US, but apathy and ignorance of the general population definitely has something to do with it.

            Well, the governments of the EU still cling to neoliberal policies while the far right movements gain traction, and the states are buying in more and more into surveillance technology, often imported from China.

            The white Christian nationalists of the US are importing their religious vision abroad, and is gaining converts even on your shores.

            So once the billionaire oligarchs are done here in the states financing our downfall, you can expect them to head over there and buy up your government officials as well. Because no matter where in the world you are, politicians come cheap, and they have more money than anyone ever has before, by orders of magnitude.

            As I point out (though the thresholds don’t figure perfectly) a multi-billionaire can easily buy an election and control a government. A trillionaire can buy all the elections and control all the governments.

            When the US falls, I hope the rest of the world learns from it. But we’ve seen this before not just in Germany and Italy. Our lessons from the twentieth century are not helping us that much in the twenty-first.

            We live in very dire and interesting times.

          Sorry but you electing a racist, rapist, fraudster to office TWICE, kind of left you without the option of playing victim here
