U.S. citizen mistakenly detained by ICE outside Michigan courthouse speaks out
Immigrant rights advocates are concerned what happened outside a Michigan courthouse may be part of a larger problem.
In 50 years, history will speak about ICE the way we speak about the SS now.
You're viewing a single thread.
Many of us have been comparing ICE and the SS since it's inception alongside the Department of Homeland Security post-9/11.
9/11 ended up being way more successful than Osama Bin Laden could ever have imagined. It just took an extra 25 years for the Republican party to destroy the country from within like he wanted.
Department of Homeland Security
This is something that's always chilled me since they created it. To me, "Homeland" always had that echo of Nazi Germany's "Fatherland".
Fatherland is still used in many countries/languages, hell even polish uses "Ojczyzna".
There’s a German furniture store in operation today called Lebensraum, which absolutely gutted me when I first saw it, but it also just means habitat/living space.
What's the other interpretation? I just see living-room
It's a Nazi rhetoric term for displacing Slavs and taking their living space
I see, that makes it a lot worse
It is to nazism, what manifest destiny is to American imperialism
In the same creepy category, the Department of Defense used to be called the Department of War until 1947. Wouldn't be surprised if they switched back soon.
They won't. They switched it because it's easy to justify spending any amount of money on "defending" yourself. If they switched it back, it would cost them some support.
Yup, euphemistic language is preferred. It's all very Orwellian. Soon the Supreme Court will be the Department of Truth.
"Department of Homeland Security" is almost as oxymoronic as "Military Intelligence" or "Department of Justice"
How is military intelligence oxymoronic?
Have you ever met anyone in active duty? Every single marine is fueled by a six pack of Monster, punching each other in the dicks for fun, and eating crayons for lunch.
I have actually, even talked in depth with a few at a country fayre after the recruiter had pissed off along with on several RAF & Army bases the actual soldiers are generally quite intelligent and those working in SIGINT are often very intellignet.
Yet they're still tricked into bombing brown kids over a WMD lie or for the religious act of patriotism. Doesn't sound very intelligent to me, it's like saying Oxford/Harvard educated math nerds making millions trading in high finance are smart because they think mathematical models of reality are more accurate than reality itself.
"Muh Palestine" I don't really care, what was done in GWOT was wrong but given the world is now heating up I fully support increasing defence spending to protect the nation from potentially hostile powers which could at this stage potentially include the USA.
Thanks for proving my point with such an "intelligent" take.
You didnt really have a point, just a very mediocre attempt at trying to shit on the military.
