Just remember folks, what ICE really stands for is Imperial Command Enforcement, not whatever euphemism the Trump administration claims it is.

Reading some of this reminds me, thank god, we still have a long way to go to be in a death cult administration. Brutal, uncaring, immoral, yea, yes, yes. But not death cult level yet.
You will have to define death cult. Wearing skulls on their uniforms? Check. (Punisher symbols) Disappearing "undesirables" to foreign camps? Check. (CECOT) Murderous paramilitary brown shirts? Check. (Rene Goode) Anti-science? Check. Anti-accountability? Check. Nationalistic? Check.

Do you have any argument or why do you resort to ad hominem?

Yes, that’s the duty of every red-blooded American
You might be technically right, but there's also possibly a larger chance you'll end up dead if you don't comply, and I think most people are not prepared to make that sacrifice.
Don't comply, maybe live to see freedom. Comply, live to die a captive another day.
Complying is like moving from the kitchen to the living room because the kitchen is on fire, then sitting down and pretending life is BAU.
You need to either fight the fire or GTFO, but pretending there is no fire will kill you all the same.

They’re eventually going to come for us all whether we resist or not (that’s just the nature of fascism), so it seems like an easy choice to me, but history tends to support your conclusion (though I hope we as a species are capable of learning from the past)
I'd argue history shows there are always those who keep fighting that make facist regimes impossible in the long term.

I believe that theory can be argued convincingly and tend to agree

I'm calling "Gríma Wormtongue". I find their response confrontational--You're going to *have* to (defend yourself)...Check! Check! Boom! Boom! Bang! Bang!
Not for nothing, our current American (extremist) government is raising stink about "professional agitators". I don't see them. I don't believe it's happening. But I have no proof nor experience to support my belief. I'm stuck with this Cat both dead and alive.
What I do witness are news stories such as "X's new feature reveals foreign origins of some popular U.S. political accounts" [1] "Pro-Scottish independence accounts on X go dark in Iran internet blackout" [2]. Therefore, I do believe people or governments or something else are creating anonymous accounts to sow division and agitate already upset communities.
I'm just pointing out the user is very fresh.
And I think that's a valid response. I also used to participate on /. back when it was more interesting, and I liked their use of "Anonymous Coward" for users who want to truck out their controversial take. I don't think that's what is happening here. It's more of a mike-drop comment. Bon mot. Spiked football. Wake up and smell what the Rock is Cooking. AH. NO.
