@GhostOnTheHalfShell @pluralistic "The Democrats, at the end of Nuremberg ICE Edition, have agreed to increase ice funding so that they can be better trained to not execute citizens, extra-judicially, on film in public. Part of the concession involves ICE still being able to violate the constitution via unreasonable search and seizure."
Is how that would play out.
@aral Because a bunch of amoral people want to have fun and don't care about the expense it comes at. I mean, international air travel right now is basically environmental suicide of the highest order and you can't convince people that they are drowning the very beaches they are visiting.
People suck.

One of my favourites - old xenophobic shitpieces, and the easily deceived, inflicted Brexit on everyone else. Kind of a last fuck you before they died.
@mpjgregoire @driusan I suppose that's similar circumstances then, with Bad Bunny being someone unknown to us until Americans started getting angst about the Super Bowl.
Then again, all three of us are from Québec. I am not sure how much traction a Puerto Rican singing, who sings mostly in Spanish, would really get in the media we pay most active attention to just in general.
@mpjgregoire I don't think I would recognize one if I heard one. I reached my "peak" willingness to find new music a decade ago, and unless the missus exposes me to new music I am probably not going to come across it on my own.
I've only ever heard about Bad Bunny because people seem recently upset about him.
@randahl It makes sense.
The point of telling obvious lies, especially ones that are immediately disproven, is to dunk on the victims and those who care twice over.
Hypocrisy is a deliberate tool by the powerful.
The US gov is saying: We reserve the right to kill you and then say whatever we want, and what are you going to do about it American citizen? Vote for the other side that thinks giving ICE extra training is what's going to stop it from extra-judicially executing people on camera?
