Man, this surely won't cause any further unrest.

R2-DMode@reddit

Why would there be “unrest” for enforcing immigration law passed by a bipartisan congress?

[-]

beorn961@reddit

Sure brother. Armed unaccountable federal agents in American streets is always very popular and never has any consequences.

[-]

The only “unrest” has been from well-funded professional protestors who defend illegal immigration and won’t speak the names of those murdered by illegals. Maybe if they quit obstructing, things would be more peaceful?

[-]

fruderduck@reddit

Will your savior in chief speak the names of those he has murdered and those he intends to murder?

Tell me please, are you a fascist?

[-]

Uhh, I don’t have a “savior in chief”. I’m not even sure what that is.

And the answer to your question is “no”.

[-]

fruderduck@reddit

You aren’t a fascist? So you are anti-fascist? Correct?

[-]

R2-DMode@reddit

Correct: I am against fascist organizations like ANTIFA and the DNC. I thought that’d be clear by now.

[-]

Do you not realize that the very definition of ANTIFA is anti- fascist? Seems very few do.

Just because ANTIFA claims they are anti-fascist, doesn’t make them actually anti-fascist.

If I was a betting man, I'd say this is less about immigration, and more about building a strong federal presence before midterms. But I don't know enough about any of the areas mentioned to say that confidently.

Transgender, their supporters and antifa are now bulls eyed on his list.

During midterms. They will likely have ICE thugs intimidating people at the voting booths.

They know they're losing popularity even among their weirdo base and they're going to do anything and everything they can to keep power.

[-]

Deliteriously@reddit

I'm not so sure it's about the preservation of this administration as much as it is about the preservation of government in general ahead of what could be one of the most tumultuous times in history. The job loss to automation, the war that is already out of hand, supply chain destabilization...

The federal government is less popular than ever and it'll preserve itself first and foremost. They need us conditioned to seeing jackboots on the streets cause they are going to need jackboots on the streets for self-preservation when SHTF.

Biotic101@reddit

You are on spot, but it is likely a perfect storm and what you describe is just one aspect.

This video explains the long term debt cycle, which is likely to reset in the next years. And we all know what happened last time, roughly 100 years ago...

How The Economic Machine Works

But this time we could have an alternative to another Great Depression thanks to the increased productivity from AI and automation.

If a large chunk of the workforce would lose their jobs, there will no longer enough money to keep the economy running. Or enough tax income to fund infrastructure and basic services.

But if we would ensure fair taxation and that the productivity increase will benefit all and not just a handful of oligarchs, we might be able to have a beautiful deleveraging where we could reduce the debt over time without breaking the economy.

Unfortunately, control over social and mainstream media is such a powerful tool it can evidently nudge the average Joe into acting against their own best interest. They - despite all the latest cuts, open corruption and crime -completely fail to realize that the plan is to destroy democracy, country and middle-class.

You Would Be a Terrible Leader

"Democracies are better places to live than dictatorships not because representatives are better people, but because their needs happen to be aligned with a large portion of the population".

Increased automation will make the current large and educated workforce obsolete. Which paves the road for autocrats and the death of democracy. This might be the reason why the oligarchs and Trump make their move right now, they need to ensure power is absolute before shit hits the fan economically. No surprise they buy islands and build bunkers.

And to be honest, it is our own fault they think they deserve to rule like kings when they see how easy it is to manipulate us. They probably think of the average Joe including their supporters as pond scum.

You'll never see a U-Haul behind a hearse. ... Now, I've been blessed to make hundreds of millions of dollars in my life. I can't take it with me, and neither can you.

Dude F Ray Dalio's BS, lol the man has been banging the collapse is imminent for like 20 years now. His data is cherry picked to fit his half brained take on historical collapses without taking into account the various other events going on in the world at the times. Any historian worth their salt would destroy his narratives,lol.

[-]

Big_Fortune_4574@reddit

I think he’s not wrong in a sort of “grand” sense, but he doesn’t offer anything that is meaningfully predictive. Everytime someone asks him “when?” he doesn’t know. And if you ask him “what should we do?” he talks about portfolio diversification. Which to me is just an expression of how out of touch with reality he actually is.

ceiffhikare@reddit

Look at the world events around every 'collapse' Dalio has used, there are far more variables than his narrow focus allows for. His rhetoric almost never goes beyond some vague Austerity! talking point, the few times he has dared to get specific he has been laughed out of the discussion because he has only surface knowledge of the areas that need reform. I would take his advice on where to put my billions any day of the week, anything outside that narrow window of knowledge id rather listen to policy experts and social workers on the front lines.

I'm losing a fair amount of sleep over this lately from stress.

Why the fuck does anyone care if ICE is at the voting booth? If you’re not a citizen you don’t get to vote……

[-]

aperture413@reddit

Are you not aware of all the citizens and legal residents that were held in detention facilities for days, weeks, sometimes months? What's to stop them from detaining people trying to vote to verify their legal status in swing districts? They've already shown that they're willing to abuse their power.

[-]

R2-DMode@reddit

So you’re saying that ICE will be able to just “know” how someone intends to vote as they walk up to the polls, and then detain them based on this intuition?

[-]

aperture413@reddit

They've identified protestors using facial technology and those protestors have suffered consequences (mostly airport related like Global Entry revocation and interogations). It's not really far fetched. They have a budget larger than the USMC...

[-]

R2-DMode@reddit

Good. Anyone obstructing law enforcement should endure the consequences.

[-]

aperture413@reddit

I didn't ask for your opinion on protestors, I was simply illustrating the agency's capabilities for gathering and acting on their surveillance intelligence. I inferred from your response that you might not believe that they have the ability to do targeted detainments. They do.

Either way, an ICE presence at polls offers nothing to our elections or society other than intimidating people and the threat is real.

They are fascist boot lickers. They will start by detaining non-white people they feel like and put them in their concentration camps like "alligator alkatraz" or the one in Texas

Also, ICE are thugs, not law enforcement

[-]

AK_Competent@reddit

Yeah I think there may be an issue with unlawfully detaining TENS OF THOUSANDS of people. The only thing you’re worried about is losing illegal voters. Lol

[-]

nsuspense@reddit

This is reddit, 90%+ are brainwashed. They will ignore the 1,000s that assaulted, raped, and murdered by illegal immigrants. It is important to look at things with some nuance however. While some of the ICE shootings might have been justified, one was probably not imo. So obviously thats not good and also not good when too many citizens are wrongfully arrested.

[-]

aperture413@reddit

When the violence breaks out in this country- remember it was because of the willful ignorance/indifference of people like yourself.

[-]

AK_Competent@reddit

Yeah even in your fantasy scenario I don’t think they have the facilities to hold enough people to make a difference.

[-]

aperture413@reddit

How many elections in the past general came down to a handful of votes? There was no threat of being detained by ICE then. Since then, it became legal for immigration enforcement to detail an individual simply for being brown. A few detentions at the right polling locations will discourage segments of the population from showing up. Whether they do or not is a different question.

They have not. It’s not getting attention anymore because the media has moved on, but they’re quite active still where I live and are now intimidating people in courthouses. We have a specific domestic violence courthouse where people go to get help filing orders of protection and they have made a show of skulking around that courthouse for the last few weeks.

They’re still in Minneapolis too. It’s probably just not as interesting to the media anymore because they’re not using tear gas everyday now. But they’re still violently abducting people while we try to keep our neighbors as safe as we can.

Bitter_Albatross25@reddit

Having take 12 years to become a citizen the legal way anyone with a record since crossing I have zero issue with ICE. We do need meaningful immigration reform, the process is not easy to navigate, we had a lawyer working with us our first 5 years until we got our green cards. Our naturalization ceremony out of the 30 of us we had at least 8 different countries represented it was amazing. My son is going through the naturalization process now, prior to age 18 it costs $1400 per person after age 18 it drops to $650. We need reforms make the process more affordable for working families.
