As I understand it, the black Panthers were so successful, laws were passed to stop them; why don't people LEGALLY walk in groups open carrying to keep ICE polite?

In states that allow open carry without a permit, do so; in ones that require a permit or license, get one; of course again, keep everything within the bounds of the law.

Edit: also travel in groups, the larger the better

I think it's the same thing behind doomer-type rhetoric about how the government is about to "really crackdown" or that you're going to get arrested for being a commie or whatever.

somewhat, but i think it's also not entirely unjustified paranoia because the state has shown it is willing to infiltrate and try to crush even the most tiny marxist reading clubs let alone actual big orgs

I guess I mean, not so much that there won't be state repression, but there is a kind of rhetoric you see mostly online, sometimes in person, where folks will talk like it's about to be over. That some kind of apocalyptic wave of reaction is imminent that will shut down all hope forever. It's that kind of rhetoric that I think stems from the same place of wanting finality now instead of living in protracted, liminal struggle.
