Things aren’t looking great…
It sucks when the state kills people
Wish we could do something about it
[the character is now in front of their TV, showing ICE agents surrounding a bleeding corpse on the floor]
Wait… this time they killed WHITE people
This means it could happen to me too?!

Okay well if you’re just gonna make strawmen and deflect any counterexamples with “well those just don’t count because that’s not what I’m talking about” then we’re not going to get anywhere.
I guess everyone should just pack up and go home, because it’s so offensive that people are out protesting after some white people died. Hey everybody, it’s actually racist if you’re protesting against the regime right now. I learned that on lemmy.
Fuck’s sake.
They’re probaby a propagandist, just like OP - and if they aren’t, they’re just free labor for ICE, since they’re acting like it. Slavery, and the wounds caused by that, have many layers. Don’t let 'em get you down, just live your principles.
At least there’s someone out there with a working brain still. Sometimes it feels like there isn’t, but I know that’s just an illusion. It can be exhausting to deal with, though. Thanks for leaving a comment.
Glad it found a home.
