How can I assist if I believe they do deserve to be hunted online? It improves my mental health to use the tools of the surveillance state against its agents.
Need to nip this in the bud.
I wonder if experts will emerge to call this inciting "stochastic terrorism" [2]. I won't be holding my breath.

I don't even think ripping the Constitution up would render the problem "solved." It would really help relieve the panic if the parties could at least agree that the issue does exist; until then, any government plan can expect to be overturned in four years time.
To clarify: not defending literally A.H., I think that's a mischaracterization.
I'm on a different continent, so this metaphorical frag grenade exploding in the USA's metaphorical tent isn't my problem. But it should slow down the people desperate to make it a fix-in-one-term thing.
Corrupting our democracy to get your way is not legit even if you were unfairly screamed down. The corruption will be fought tooth and nail.
> current party in power 11xed the ICE budget, built Alligator Alcatraz, and has deals with foreign governments to deport people straight to prison
I'm not sure I can square your victimhood with reality.
Shipping someone to a concentration camp in El Salvador despite the fact that a federal judge ordered that they not be sent to El Salvador, insisting without evidence that they were a member of a gang, saying anyone who wants them to be able to defend themselves in court is pro-gang-violence, and then insisting that there's nothing you can do to get them back so everyone should stop complaining and move in... that's some fascist secret police shit.
What is really amazing is that even knowing - as a species - all of our history we manage to commit the same faults over and over again.
There are always going to be people waiting in the wings that can't wait to become the next installment of campguards, gas chamber operators and gestapo. It is unbelievable to me, and have a hard time coming to terms with it because we should be better than this by now. But no, we'll just bang our heads against the rock one more time see if the outcome is different this time around. It's collective insanity on a massive scale.
How this trait mixes with 20th and 21st century technology and its weapons? It seems quite dark to me. We’ve dodged a few bullets but I’m not at all convinced we’ll stop firing or keep successfully dodging.
Right, it's either open borders or gas chambers, no in-between. Meanwhile most countries manage to enforce their borders without committing genocide, and most Slavic countries even split apart into ethnic enclaves (called "fall of the Soviet union", "Balkanization", and the Czech-Slovak split), and now manage to coexist peacefully, save for those trying to reverse those splits (i.e. Russia).

And without concentration camps. And without Razzia's. The US apparently can not.
> and most Slavic countries even split apart into ethnic enclaves (called "fall of the Soviet union", "Balkanization", and the Czech-Slovak split), and now manage to coexist peacefully
"now" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
> save for those trying to reverse those splits (i.e. Russia).
And factions in Hungary. And Slovakia. And Germany. This isn't over, not by long shot.
Yeah somehow different ethnic groups forced to share countries didn't make everyone like each other, so some of the splits were messy. You wanna know what it looks like when they don't split? It looks like the Holodomor.
So clearly the answer is even less borders.

> On July 4, the Alvarado Police Department announced that one of its police officers had been shot in the neck after responding to a call without stating the incident occurred outside of an immigration facility. It was the first of two officer involved shootings outside of a federal immigration facility in Texas this week, The Center Square first reported.
> What occurred was “a planned ambush with the intent to kill ICE corrections officers,” Larson said. “Make no mistake, this was not a so-called peaceful protest. It was indeed an ambush” to draw out people from inside “and it worked.”

The reality is that they're wearing masks so that they can act with impunity; they behave as though they're above the law because they know that the people they're working for will never try to hold them accountable, and as long as they're anonymous the public can't hold them accountable either. This means they can do whatever they want to whoever they want and nothing will come of it, so if they want to harass and assault minorities they can do so freely.
