To be fair America has being do this to anyone not white and Christian since it's founding

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

Yep, but now they’re being extremely flagrant about it.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 66 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which tells you why it's so important to keep accurate notes of who's a nazi bitch and who's not.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

This time around, we can keep lists too.

[–] SpermHowitzer@sh.itjust.works 71 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Obscuring your DOT number is illegal. I’m sure the police will definitely enforce that rule in this instance…

[–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

Oh man, that'll be the one thing that makes the whole operation unravel! The cops'll get him! Checkmate, gators!

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 50 points 1 day ago (2 children)

How long before "it's a job" no longer covers your ass? We keep accepting this stance.

[–] Naich@lemmings.world 50 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Nuremberg trials established that "I was just following orders" is not a defense for crimes against humanity.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 1 day ago

Funny how we still allow it today. Nuremberg trials just held those in WWII responsible. Look around at the world, it is filled with people that " just follow orders."

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For the record, I have never accepted this stance and have always stood against the excuse.

Explanation is not justification.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 day ago

How many people do you know work for a company like Amazon, Wal-Mart, Meta, police officers, military personal, etc....?

Shit swamp prison is just the most extreme version of it.

[–] Sdes01@lemmy.ca 83 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Would you really be a supplier to a concentration camp?

[–] FirstCircle@lemmy.ml 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Me, no. Corpo Amerika absolutely if it's profitable and low-risk. So which Lemmy "community" is the one where these corps are being ID'd (with all crowdsourced supporting evidence) and named and shamed?

[–] plz1@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's hard when they hide identifying info

Handy list of exhibitors from this year's Boarder Patrol Expo.

Matthews Environmental Solutions stands out to me for providing cremation equipment.

Also, I remember Servpro was one of the companies that managed Trump's child detention centers his first time around.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If I was a bumbling idiot who thinks trump is telling the truth I would.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

But if that was the case you would be proudly showing your support right?

Unrelated to anything here, what are these called?

[–] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 52 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] toast@retrolemmy.com 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Thanks. I wonder what they are used for.

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have no idea. But here's an easy way to make them.

[–] toast@retrolemmy.com 8 points 1 day ago

Thanks! Still not sure exactly what I'd do with them, but I do love arts and crafts

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

Troping Cals obvs…

Area denial weapons. The name comes from the Old English "calcatrippe", meaning "heel-trap", which itself came from the French "chause-trape", or "shoe-trap".

Their design ensures that they will always land with one spike pointing up, so they can be scattered in the path of advancing enemies to slow them down or injure their feet.

[–] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That would be a metal as fuck cell phone stand

[–] cecilkorik@piefed.ca 17 points 1 day ago

Doesn't look like anything to me. These violent delights will have violent ends, though.

Why are mods deleting comments and locking articles?

My comment was prefaced as being hyperbole and I said ICE should be held to account. What is this, Reddit?

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago (31 children)

mods here in this comm are known fascist supporters. if you “dehumanize” a nazi they boot you.

ICE should not only be held accountable but demolished.

It's almost like every single detail and level of this is steeped in corruption and lawlessness

That review hit the nail on the head: Why do all these people feel like they have to hide if they aren't doing anything wrong?

They know what they're doing is wrong. They are doing it anyway. They want you to believe they are "just following orders" or "just following the money" but they know what they're doing. They are not your neighbor, your family, your coworker. Maybe they were once, but they've sold their soul and they are not that anymore.

These people are irredeemable. They are the enemy of every good person on the planet, and the sooner everyone accepts that, the sooner we can do what is necessary to stop them. Fascism comes in all shapes and sizes and colors, it wears all sorts of flags and clothes, but it's still fascism down to the roots, it will kill or convert everything it touches into a tool for its own use, and it will use those tools to destroy everything good and kind in the world. Nevermind the woke mind-virus, this is the fascist mind-virus and it's absolutely real, we've seen it before, and we've seen what it can do.

We must fight it again. They want us to feel helpless and hopeless, but we're not. We won last time, and we will win again. But be prepared to fight hard, because we'll need to.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Track every one of these motherfuckers.

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 14 points 1 day ago

So they must believe they’re doing something good and altruistic then, right?

[–] darthpub1@fedia.io 11 points 1 day ago

Those companies need black highlighters like the ones the government uses to highlight important information in documents
