Most of these people will keep showing up to their cushy jobs at Google and FB while the data they spent decades harvesting is used to oppress their neighbors.
These people were not ethical before, why would you think they would be ethical or care now?

ICE is MAGA’s analogue to the SS. Diehards specifically recruited for their commitment to the cause. They will be the ones making jokes while digging mass graves.
It is far closer to the SA than the SS. The MAGA equivalent of the SS hasn’t seen the light of day yet.
False.
SA was essentially a militia which functioned manly as the NSDAP's non-governmental terror group. As soon as NSDAP took power, Hitler used the SS to take control of the SA and assume its functions. The transition was bloody, the top commander of the SA was executed by Hitler and its leadership purged or killed, see the Night of the Long Knives.
The SA was never a government entity with any significant functions or budget.

But that's exactly wrong. The people have the power, but only if enough people resist.
Suggesting that the most legally vulnerable group be careful isn't wrong, it is the reality for which they find themselves. 66%~ of the US either voted for this, or were indifferent about it, and are a group which cannot be deported/denaturalized. Perhaps that group should step up instead of the I think it quite telling hearing born-Americans asking green card and naturalized citizens to be their "resistance" for dec…
Asking as a foreigner who wants to travel to Cali to visit the Computer History Museum sometimes in the future: What is the plan for ICE? Is it going to get more manpower and $$$ to expand its responsibility?

Be sure to create your ESTA a few workdays before though, as long as you have it you will have a great time.
Technology is a fundamental political right; asymmetry of power in a polity through a monopoly on technology is the goal of any State, which people have a responsibility to deny.
Does this line of thinking make you an anarchist?
I do believe a productive hierarchy of power could naturally emerge if everyone were equally equipped with technology. For example, if all State financial transactions were auditable by anyone (say, via immutable ledger) - would this not lead to favorable outcomes without the necessitating the chaos of anarchy?

Incredible power, weld somehow by basement dwelling otaku NEETs. Are their claims to possess mystic wizard powers real, or perhaps are you falling for their own aggrandizing propaganda?
Where do you think QAnon and the Proud Boys started?
4chan likes to take credit for everything that happens but they don't have any real power.
Wonder what they'll get up to with all that tech when they run out of (illegal) immigrants to hunt?
