ICE thugs have been recruited largely from white nationalist rallies and forums. Literally, not as some kind of metaphor. DHS executives post white nationalist propaganda hourly on Twitter. Stephen Miller, an out-of-the-closet Nazi, is the acting president of the United States. Their goal is to start a race war that they believe they can win by murdering 100 million Americans.

Just in case anyone thinks you are exaggerating: https://x.com/DHSgov/status/2006472108222853298

For those who can't access the link, this is the United States DHS with the quote

> The peace of a nation no longer besieged by the third world.

featuring an illustration of an oldsmobile at a tropical sunny beach with the text "America After 100 Million Deportations".

The implication is that a white ethnostate will be paradise.

Notably, 100M is not the number of non-citizens in the United States, it's roughly the number of non-White people (90M, per https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045224)

> this video will likely be glad just instantly Again. Anyway, the video shows that we've unequivocally entered open-air brownshirt executions. This person was pinned to the ground by three people while another was just wailing against their head from above. Hard to tell what object they're using as a cudgel to their face. Then the subsequent mag dumping just to be extra sure they're dead. We really need that lady in…

It's absolutely inexcusable, even moreso than the murder of Renee Good. Though I fully expect the usual suspects to show up and claim it was justified because he was resisting arrest, which seems to be the popular modus operandi for justifying execution by the state.

@dang Why is this flagged and removed from the front page in seconds.

A reminder that /active is the actual frontpage to HN. The landing page is just what the censors allow you to see.

Thanks for the link to https://news.ycombinator.com/active; didn't know that one.

As for the existence of "censors" that don't "allow" you to see anything. That's not how this site works, and your lack of carefulness stating that leads me to downvote that.

As much as I hate that anything regarding the rise of fascism in the US get's insta-flagged (by a community, not a "censor"), it's still very easy to find such posts, for example on an aggregator [1] and on the /active subpage you just mentioned.

It will also be broadly shared on regular (social) media, which is an oft stated reason this kind of stories get flagged by the community, although I think there are many other reasons.

>Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Tagging users like that is not a site function. If you want to get in touch with the moderators, send email with the contact link in the page footer.

"flagged" always means that users flagged it, not moderator action.

And there are a lot of readers who will flag all submissions about US politics, no matter the polarity of the article.

People say there are users who don't want politics on their frontpage, but I think it's just simpler: we have a nontrivial minority of users who are pro-MAGA and like what's going on, so they downvote anything that makes Trump's action look bad. :/
