@sortius Lastly, mostly for others reading the replies because I am probably about to block you for your obnoxiousness:
@sortius@infosec.exchange Already blocked him, but just one more to close out the thread, in case anybody else from halfway around the world wants to splain my city to me:

@inthehands Very plausible. Especially since that's the same script as Jan6. Then it eventually became clear the idea was to see Pence or Pelosi or, hell, any old Congresscritter or recognizable name killed. That would open the way to declaring martial law (or facsimile thereof using some pet agency?).

@inthehands boosting though my boost would do nothing to help (i.e., get this message to people who are ICE agents who may still be under any illusions that they are serving the right people somehow) -

@inthehands not really keen to read it after your previous reply
@sortius @inthehands You’re not missing anything beyond an anecdote about earmuffs and a tacit dismissal of your POV because you don’t live here (which isn’t really much of a counter argument).
But I do and I absolutely agree with the person that doesn’t live here, who can see things more clearly IMO.
If an ICE agent gets killed or not only tweaks the existing situation at the margins. They can make that happen themselves or fabricate the situation as needed, frankly.

@inthehands They came close with that gun nut getting murdered on stage, but didn't quite get their Horst Wessel moment. That's what they're gunning for.
I wonder what their Reichstag Fire will be?

Indeed, but I’ll bet they aren’t here specifically to get killed so they can be right-wing meme fodder

@sortius @inthehands There isn’t some escalating rule book here, where if A happens, then B happens, it all tips over and it’s game over.
You have a regime of power hungry opportunists who will seize or fabricate any situation needed to further entrench and enrich themselves. We’ve already tipped over; it’s just a matter of degree and whether or not it’s reversible, and to what degree, if at all.
Anyone that has lived elsewhere will be familiar with what’s going on here.

@inthehands One of the scary things is that a bunch of the ICE goons are absolutely True Believers in their mission, and they have already convinced themselves they are going up against the worst of the worst. So they'd probably be horrifyingly okay with giving their life for the cause. They think they'll be remembered as a martyred hero. They think the crackdown following their death will be righteous.
When Trump sends them, they are on a mission from God.

They milked Kirk for all they could, but the problem was he was murdered by a fellow right-winger, and he wasn’t a federal official. That doesn’t create enough political and popular support to allow martial law or similar.

I think that’s all exactly right. I just don’t think they believe that their boss’s boss is •trying• to get them killed.

@inthehands they already openly want us dead.
If the """"opposition"""" continues to refuse to use the non-violent leverage they already have, eventually provoking a violent overreaction may be the only way to get out of this

Ha, The Onion is great, but that headline for this situation kind of misses the mark: https://hachyderm.io/@inthehands/115860687777099579

Renee Good is a crisis for the Trump regime: not because they care about her life, but because ICE murdering her makes ICE look bad. They’ve been telling all these stories about all the imaginary violence ICE officers face. In their minds, it’s the people on the streets who were supposed to lose their cool first. Now they’re falling over themselves to make that happen.
We just want ICE gone, but their bosses want them dead. And no, I’m sure they do not understand this.
@inthehands
I think some of them understand this. They use it to justify their violence. -

@inthehands It's just like in Andor.
