In the near future “to target people for deportation” will turn into “arresting Americans for thought crimes”. ICE is Gestapo.

Mixing metaphors here; so far I think Nazi Germany still fits better than Orwell's 1984. Like, uncannily so. Almost every single action of this admin can be compared to something that happened in Germany after 1933.

don't pingeon hole their awefulness :) seriously though I don't think they are looking to limit it. They want out of the box evil ideas.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 month ago

Borders are apartheid anyways. They were always evil

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

It's already happening.

I didn't realize Facebook showed citizenship status.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 13 points 1 month ago

Like they're interested in that anymore.

[–] primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We both know what 'citizenship' means now

Just give me a phone number. I'm happy to tell them to suck my dick. Any time they wanna hear it.

Gestapo sons of bitches.

If you're young enough they might take you up on that offer.

They aren't. Look at their use of grammar.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Gonna have to do more than get them off.

[–] Beersux1516@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So then people should start getting off social media, right?

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Nah I’m not. I’m a stubborn mule. I’ll just keep shoring up my opsec with regards to my identity. I’ll never let them stop me from saying what I want, when I want, or where I want, not as long as I have air in my lungs.

... with AI 🤣

edit: not sure why I think that's funny, of course they're using AI. Clearview, according to the article.
I just thought of vibe coding disasters and DOGE fucking pretty much everything up, I guess, but we're beyond that now.

No. China's just trying to be totalitarian. This is much worse.

China's not good. This is much worse.

It's the same horrible tool being out to much worse ends. The CCP isnt doing extermination. GOP is.

Arguably genocide (dont speak Chinese can't sort through the shit), certainly not extermination

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just camps like ICE

SAME SHIT. Stop being a government simp

[–] primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Two bad things can be bad, without being the same amount of bad.

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It’s the same amount in total, although individual topics vary. Simp
