I'm not sure of the correlation but I'm reminded of the quiet rebellion through Nazi-occupied slavic states (Poland, the Czech Republic, etc.) to hat-tip Jews whenever they were encountered in the street, which specifically pissed off the German garrisons, especially the SS.

It's the same as owning the libs albeit directed towards the far-right.

In the 20th century, false flagging (in this case, dressing using cultural indicators of a group you're not) was used to call out propensity for calling out black or latin persons.

An opposite effect came with a young black artist saved his pennies to get a Harrod's belt, and police arrested and booked him for stealing it until proven otherwise.

They suggested to remove it... Wtf is happening there...

Could we also dress like ICE and show up to their invasions? It's not impersonating an officer because there isn't a real uniform.

Sounds funny and dangerous.

Let’s buy a bunch of Mexican flag stickers and put them on ICE vehicles, so they all start pulling each other over.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago

My theory is that ICE agents wear masks because ICE is hiring a bunch of undocumented immigrants -- for the same reason everybody else hires them.

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 hours ago

Like ICE gives a fuck. They are rounding up anyone they want.

[–] scaredoftrumpwinning@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

I hope this takes off. It might give people other ideas too to keep wasting their time

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 15 hours ago

This is precisely what the CIA tells people to do to rebel without blowing your cover.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 24 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

How are they “pulling people over”? Don’t you need some kind of cause for a traffic stop? Just because you put a siren on your car doesn’t mean you can pull people over.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 21 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The threshold of evidence for this is "reasonable suspicion", which means that the police can pull you over based on their subjective opinion that a crime, such as being brown, might be committed.

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Woah let's not walk away from the bigotry some of them actually believe it's a crime to even give them rights.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 30 points 20 hours ago

You must be new to US policing.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 50 points 1 day ago (2 children)

"Why the sticker?"

"Oh! That's because, fuck you."

Because the First Amendment

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

While I agree, I prefer my answer ;-)

[–] Soleos@lemmy.world 68 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So... Now we put Mexican stickers on every Republican's car, mailbox, and window sill right?

[–] Gnugit@aussie.zone 9 points 21 hours ago

I love this

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 79 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Flooding the system with false hints... that is a brillant idea!

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 41 points 1 day ago

Simple sabotage goes miles.

I'm surprised they didn't just deport her anyway. She must not have had any tattoos I guess?

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're strong to the weak and weak to the strong. And the bar for strength isn't that high... they're cowards who hide their faces and act only in groups

[–] fuckgod@feddit.online 11 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I just want a story where a pile of ICE bodies is discovered somewhere.

I actively want to see a body pile of corpses, but of them.

I might forgive certain kinds of ignorance (begrudgingly) if people snap out of it, but I will never forgive ICE members.

We're living through what will become Inglorious Bastards II.

We need our Bear Mexican(-American US Citizen).

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 5 points 20 hours ago

I wonder what city we'll hold the trials in... My guess is Vancouver

It would be really terrible if they ended up in a mass grave before then. I would never advocate for such a thing, definitely not...

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

As soon as we get back to Cali, I’m putting a Mexican flag sticker on my car. I and my parents are natural-born US citizens. I also have a Latin surname so it should be extra time wasting for the fuckers. Possibly even a false imprisonment sitch. And I WILL get a lawyer to go after them if ICE arrests me

[–] talentedkiwi@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Best to have a lawyer you already have a number for, just in case.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My Sister in Law is a lawyer and former city attorney for LA. And hates MAGA as much as do I. She would be able to advise on emergency issues and would find me a ravenous barracuda of a civil suit lawyer.

[–] talentedkiwi@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

That sounds like the perfect setup to waste some time.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I guess it’s not a great idea to tell the pigs “to waste your time you Nazi fucks”?
