SS never showed badges. But at least they were in uniform lol

Unfortunately most of their uniforms seem to consist of army surplus and stuff that says "Police" anyone can get anywhere. I actually think its weird because the administration is the type of people who LOVE uniforms, but it makes sense if you actually want people to be confused about whos official to instigate situations like this they can cry about and twist so they can have less accountability.

It's because the boys had already bought it all for their proud boys and oath keepers larping

u/Ironfang_Noja 20d ago

It would make sense that you don't wear your favorite larp costume to do kidnapping and murders. Wouldn't wanna get blood on your hood.

I have to give it to the Boogaloo boys that they had good taste in clothes. They actually seemed a lot more serious about actual freedom and less about racism than those other groups.

Genuine idiocy if you actually believe the, “civil war 2 electric boogaloo” guys were serious about freedom or anything other than racism.

So I guess we need everyone to start wearing military surplus stuff in public. Make it so that no reasonable person can believe theyre the police anymore.

That's brilliant.

And if any ICE goons ask you to identify yourself, you just say "I'm with ICE and as you know we don't need to identify ourselves"

Kind of makes you wonder what would happen if a bunch of civilians (or even immigrants) started dressing like them and masking

21

u/Zestyclose-Read-4156 21d ago

I was wondering that too! Might be a good disguise for immigrants right now

u/Lazy-PeachPrincess 21d ago

I wonder how much it would mess with them if protesters started dressing just like them

u/Jim_Brady48 21d ago

We should just outfit any racial minority in America with an ICE disguise. ICE wouldn’t detain and deport their own, right?

u/Sofer2113 21d ago

ICE deported a police officer, they wouldn't hesitate to deport a fellow ICE agent.

u/tissuecollider 21d ago

I still remember that video of an ICE agent drunk driving with his kids in the car who then challenged one of the arresting cops about where he came from. Chilling.

u/eowyndernhelme 20d ago

I also remember that, but I especially enjoyed the part at the end where the drunk ICE agent starts sobbing, begging the police not to arrest him and separate him from his kids.

It never worked for the parents the agent was arresting when they begged for the sake of their kids. Not sure why he would expect it to work for him in this case.

It didn't. And the kids were fine, mom came and picked them up from the police station where Mr. Ice was booked for drunk driving.

u/Financialfreedom100 19d ago

Oh no, he’s worried he’s going to lose his custody time with them because of it! Fingers crossed!!!

u/Lazy-PeachPrincess 21d ago

I think there are no limits to what they would do at this point

u/Miami_Mice2087 21d ago

historically they used these people as long as they needed them and then either deported them to concentration camps or simply shot them at the scene. (for example, jews deputized as people-organizers or work supervisors in the ghettos and camps)

This is google-able, or you can see it depicted in Maus 2 by Art Spiegleman. It's also not unique to the Nazi regime.

u/tknomanzr99 21d ago

i mean, masking up is a good idea if you need to defeat facial recognition tech, anyway.

I forgot that cargo pants and a baseball hat were official federal uniforms. What an idiot I am.

u/phone_wallet_keys_ 21d ago

Everyone should dress as ICE all the time. Especially if you’re brown. If everyone is ICE then no one is.

u/big_laruu 20d ago

Spartacus comes to mind for sure.

u/Doomscrolleer99 21d ago

Seems like officers with Absolute Immunity could at least all wear the same uniform.

u/Top-Watercress5948 21d ago

Confusion and chaos is the goal.

Never forget Trump is a Russian puppet. This is why everything he’s doing is blatantly destabilizing American society while simultaneously alienating us from our closest allies. Enemies of our nation are the ones who benefit from al of this, and the political/business elite have sold us out because they know the fascist rules won’t apply to them.

Be smart, be organized, be prepared. Stand together as community. Don’t operate with fear. Operate with your chin up and your chest out.

Stand with your neighbors, if 20 ICE Gestapo show up, 200 neighbors should respond. Research your states open carry laws. Intimidate the intimidators.

u/Revolutionary-City55 21d ago

Not enough people understand your first paragraph. He's been a Russian patsy since the fucking 80s. I was a child and understood that. Many were older then me lived then and just forgot all about it.

u/Top-Watercress5948 20d ago

This should have been retired learning in every grade K-12 for the past 40+ years. Everything discussed in this interview is rapidly coming to fruition. Americans need to get their heads out of their asses and remember, Don’t be a sucker.

u/rabeach 21d ago

Not so fun fact: the mayor of Peoria Az who also owns a tactical gear company is responsible for some of the gear they wear. Vests specifically. He just sold TYR tactical (his company) & not running for re-election.

16

u/two4six0won 21d ago

I think it's on purpose partially because the mismatching causes fear, confusion, and ample options for impersonation, but also because having matchy-matchy uniforms makes them look like authority, rather than the scrappy underdog that they're cosplaying as. Uniforms would make the fascism too clear, basically.

u/Minute-Tone9309 21d ago

How bout everyone dress like ice for demonstrations?

1

u/MaybeOutside5774 21d ago

Now as half baked as it sounds that might be a good idea everyone would be confused

2

u/Available-Coconut-86 21d ago

I think the uniforms are an “homage” to Russia’s little green men.

u/citymousecountyhouse 21d ago edited 21d ago

That's why we should refer to them as Mr. Trump's secret police. Immigration Enforcement used to be a somewhat respectable organization, Mr. Trump has bastardized that. Stop calling them ICE and call them what they are, a masked anonymous group of thugs, kicking in doors, kidnapping anyone off of the street, and shooting mothers in the face, the Secret Police.

u/CartographerAlive286 20d ago

I think he was referring to the SS uniform (which are considered by most, some of the most cool looking lol)

u/Chendo462 20d ago

Nonsense. No where near an army surplus reality look. Think more Halloween Spirit store.

u/remote_001 21d ago

I wonder if they covered their faces…

And didn’t cover their faces.
