this is what the extreme right use to push themselves more extreme. lemme explain… the republican party was under threat when the left became the obvious moral party, so theyve evolved other ways to propaganda that the right is the ACTUAL moral party. iv studied this a lot cause my parents fell victim to it. they tell them the left fakes empathy or that empathys been weaponized to manipulate their votes. this is why we see ppl whole heartedly defending ICE, most of them arent actually taking
pleasure in ppls mistreatment, they think its the “right thing” because the conversation’s propagandad to them and they’re told its just criminals or that its necessary for whatever reason. this wouldnt be enough to work on its own unless the left was also demonized. theyre told that we are violent and brainwashed. that we are convinced to protest and that the real underlying goal is that the “evil dems” wanna create chaos to reclaim power. this is why posts like this
hit me the wrong way simply because i know its what the republicna party wants us to say/do. it works SO well for the propaganda they’ve already laid out. in short, there’s some maga guy out there rn seeing this and affirming his belief that HES the morally superior one because “the left is so violent”
what good does the sign do? do you think an ice agents gonna see it and change his ways? do you think there is any real world effect from him doing this? the only case you could argue is that it going viral online lets people get unified behind that cause, but those people were already against ice. noone that’s for ice is gonna change their mind after seeing this, but what they WILL do is be that much more stubborn in their idea that “the libs” are violent/evil and that THEY need to now become
are you talking about me? 1st im a girl, 2nd i dont know much of anything about hasan, 3rd like i said, my parents are maga and its sparked a bit of an obsession with trying to bring them out of it, which has forced me to dive deep into these spaces and get into the psyche of why they feel theyre doing the right thing by following him. this ia a major part of it (the propaganda they’ve seen that the left is violent and trying 2 coop takeover america ar the bidding of the even more evil democrats
Violence is not the way forward. I agree with #2 that it is important to understand the mindsets of republicans who support ice given the propaganda they’ve been fed, and how this feeds into that. To me this even seems like it could be a right wing plant for that exact purpose. Swamp ogre, the ICE agents know they will not be hanged. The only way we will be rid of their evil is if we talk to and work hand in hand with our republican compatriots, not alienate them. They are misled,not the enemy.
So is the goal to make the ice agents scared, or to show them they’re inflicting fear? These seem like two distinct objectives to me. Either way, fear is bad. It’s an internal response. You don’t have to fear ICE. Your fear gives them strength. I don’t want to inflict fear, even on my enemies. I am sorry if you do.
theyre not realizing anything from this sign. at best they’re rolling their eyes, at worst they’re using it to view this more as a war/battle theyre engaged in with us. while im sure its well intended, this will affect minorities negatively more than it will help anyone. please try to hear what i am saying
its a nature vs nuture thing. some people are naturally predisposed to support maga, some people were nurtured into it. that second group of people do genuinely think they’re doing the right thing. they think theyre on the side of the law. and they dont believe the left actually wants to help people, they think the democrat officials have manipulated people by weaponizing empathy… and that they use illegal immigrants to control elections, and convince us to send the country into chaos by
if you genuinely believe over 50% of the country are unredeemable evil to their core, why are you still living amongst them? deep down you know it isnt like that, you just make yourself feel better when you separate yourself from them so fundamentally. its harder to cope with the fact that people arent always born that way, that there’s a much larger threat behind the scenes
where is the idea of approval even coming from bruh… all i said is the reality of these kinds of messages is that they have the opposite effect they intent. and i can say that confidently after the years now that i have spent learning what makes them tick, what motivates them to be republican. as stupid as it sounds, this is a big part of it for a lot of people (the idea that the left is anti-law and violent). scroll down on this post, someone literally proved that point already
