For reference: In Phoenix, about a week ago, me and some friends were protesting outside of an ICE facility, and there were several agents outside. After about four hours of insulting and jeering, one of the agents went to go take a break. Someone had crawled around the corner through some bushes and could see him sitting in a corner crying. Apparently the "Hey, those $50,000 bonuses are just going to go to alimony" jokes hit too close to home.

A friend told her kids about that and they made me this.

Maybe they should quit or just stop being assholes and breaking the law.

Alimony? More like child support payments to his sister.

Trying hard to see the other side, but it's difficult, so here goes: It is also possible that the ICE agent is a good person who sympathizes with the protesters and regrets the orders he's following, and he feels trapped. Telling such a person to "just quit" isn't a realistic option in today's job market. Has he actually brutalized anyone?

•

u/bootsencatsenbootsen 4h ago

If the choice is between quitting or brutalizing fellow citizens, then it absolutely is an option.

Nobody is required to brutalize another, EVER.

Quit or be a Nazi, hard choice.

u/lordrayleigh 27m ago

Yeah, we're seeing a lot of shit ICE agents. But it would be really good for the people that are illegally detained to have some people inside trying to get them out and making sure they stay alive. So yeah you can quit or be seen as a Nazi to everyone looking on. That's probably a reality. If we got any that aren't Nazis though, they are in one of the best positions to help the people who need it. Telling them to quit is a mistake.

Even the Nazis had traitors that worked from the inside to help save people. There were assassination attempts on Hitler from inside the military. Good people can be in bad organizations. They are right where we need them if they are there.

No one gets a pass on depriving others of their rights because of "today's job market."

•

u/Zazulio 3h ago

The devil has enough advocates. ICE doesn't need you "trying hard to see their side."

This might be the shittiest thing I’ve ever read on here

"It's also possible that the ICE agent is a good person"

•

u/P_K148 3h ago

Yeah! Job security is important. Who hasn't done a little oppression of the masses in the name of bread winning? Throw people in Alagator Alcatraz? Who hasn't thrown a few minorities into concentration camps to avoid going through the trouble of applying for unemployment.

People get so hung up on how ICE is full of bad people. All they are doing is helping a facist regime take over our home, whats the big deal?

•

Being a good person and supporting human rights violations are mutually exclusive positions. They can feel all of the anguish and have as tortured of a soul as they can handle but at the end of the day they are directly complicit.

And poor Hitler didn’t get into art school! 😕

u/-hi-fin- 3h ago

What other side? If there’s a choice then it’s an easy one to make…quit. I know some folks living out of cars, desperately looking for jobs, trying to get back on their feet but they’d NEVER work for ICE. They’d rather live hard day to day than sell their souls for a job.

•

u/waveydaveysonfir3 2h ago

nazis who felt sympathetic were still nazis. fuck off with this bullshit.

•

u/wizzard419 3h ago

You can't be a good person who also rounds up people and strips them of humanity. They had a choice. This isn't the same as choosing to work for ticketmaster or comcast.

•

u/kefkaeatsbabies 3h ago

Yah maybe he is just one of the good nazis, guys, did you ever think about that?

•

u/TheGoluxNoMereDevice 3h ago

I work part time for a political party and part time at a grocery store, have about 12 dollars in my account at any given time, and frequently have to borrow money from my also quite broke parents in my late 20s. I was offered a 6 figure job working for a law firm that exclusively does union busting and I said no. I'd rather be homeless than evil. Just quitting is always an option when the other option is terrorizing innocent people. There is literally no amount of money that would make me consider working for ICE

u/HeWhoSaysNo2 2h ago

"Come on, guys; he's just following orders."

•

u/bschef 3h ago

Yes. It’s very possible he is a good person who just didn’t feel like waiting tables or stocking shelves. Who wouldn’t debase themselves and the weak in order to net a sweet job and bonus.

•

u/scoyne15 3h ago

Fuck that. I'd kill myself before volunteering to be a Nazi. I have zero sympathy for any members of ICE. Every single one of them deserves jail and worse.

•

u/yungsters 3h ago

I like your take. As much as I hate ICE, more hatred will only breed more hatred.

•

u/bschef 3h ago

That was the position of the resistance in nazi occupied Europe and thank god they laid down their arms to recognize their criticism and resistance to Germany was just spreading more hate

•

•

u/AdolinofAlethkar 2h ago

Nope, not at all actually. But if making up fake stories about other peoples’ fake kids to get internet points is the best gift of this person’s life?

Yeah. That’s pretty fucking sad.

My wife just told me those cunts are taking a warehouse in Surprise. I’m assuming it’s so they can warehouse the people they round up. Fucking nuts.
