    It’s so obvious that ICE uniforms are designed to copy fascist activist groups like Patriot Front.

    I always find it funny when racists are so proud to be racist that they hide their face when showing the world how racist they are.

    They are continuing the American tradition of white supremacist organizations invading cites they don’t live in to intimidate people they hate.

    Convenient of them to wear hats with the an actual literal fasces, the original symbol for and namesake of fascism, just to remove any plausible deniability of their intent.

    If they truly believed in their message they wouldn’t hide their faces. Cowards

      I get the sentiment but there are plenty of valid reasons to hide one’s face. I believe strongly in protecting immigrants and resisting ICE. I hide my face to protect myself and my family. Cowards aren’t on the streets so they don’t have to cover their faces. Cowards are those that stay inactive and don’t fight back when masked fascist come to hurt their neighbors.

      These guys aren’t cowards and they definitely believe their message of hate. Saying they are cowards is a way for you to pretend they aren’t a threat. That you don’t have to do anything when our government supports them. They are a threat. They hide their faces because there ARE people fighting back against them.

      They aren’t cowards BUT they are weak. Because there are a lot more of us then them. But we aren’t all organized like they are. If you and I don’t organize against them, and push them out of every public space when they do this, one day they won’t worry about wearing a mask.

          They are already validated by our government. Every single one of these guys is a member of ICE. I’m validating what they represent as a threat; not validating their beliefs as true.

          Pretending that neonazis are cowards that will not fight or that they won’t die for their beliefs in white supremacy is not helpful. It’s pretending that they are not a threat.

        Nah they’re cowards. Racists operate on fear of the other. Fear and cowardice are all they know. If they didn’t fear ppl who didnt look like them they’d have to accept they’re responsible for their own failures.

        Hiding your face because you oppose the state and hiding your face even though you have the backing of the state are entirely different things.

      I understand what you’re saying but this might not be the beat way to describe it.

      I think their supremacist beliefs are held in the core of their being. They may on some level know they’re not superior to anyone else, but they do believe that they deserve to be treated as superior.

      They’re cowards because they understand that their beliefs are not acceptable and there will be consequences in their lives that they’re unwilling to encounter.

    And encountered no one giving a fuck. They wanted interaction, and found no one to engage with 'em.

    Best to ignore the idiots.
