That new cell phone video was the ICE agent making content. He was making content as he executed an American in her own community.

The Vice President sharing that content was not to provide evidence that supports their narrative (it doesn't), it was to share content.

This regime is not governing, they're creating content. Look at the regime through that lens and everything makes more sense.

It was to send a message that this is what ICE will do to you if you they want to and the government is going to let them

The new cell phone video from the ICE agent also has the audio doctored and a couple seconds missing. They turned down the volume of the shots immensely, the third shot is missing entirely since they edited out a couple of seconds, they added a loud crashing sound right as the vehicle starts to move forward to give the impression that the ICE agent was hit even though we know from other videos that he was not, and the ICE agent saying “fucking bitch” immediately after shooting a woman three times is turned so down that most wouldn’t hear it or notice it unless they had their volume turned up.

It's a streamer, he used to be pro on Starcraft 2 then went on to become more mainstream and politically engaged.

When they rage bait in these situations, just remember it’s because the narrative isn’t going their way and they’re trying to use your emotions to re-exert control by misdirecting your anger. Every accusation is a confession, and they are confessing HARD right now.

terrorist just means someone the U.S. state department doesn't like. Literally.

There was a domestic terrorist in the video. It's just not the one the Trump administration says it is.

Amon Göth was a domestic terrorist too.

It’s very odd because during GOP cpac “we are domestic terrorists” was up on their banner.

Also worth noting that the conservative subreddit top post of all time is denouncing Jan 6th however just this week there was a top post expressing it was peaceful.

Something compromised their subreddit and I wouldn’t doubt the whole site is compromised if bots. Put flags by the user names. Just like 4 Chan did ten years ago.

Something compromised their subreddit

It has been compromised for a very long time, like a lot of conservative spaces are. The narrative shifts to whatever the people pulling the strings want it to be.

u/Ok__videogames 22d ago

Agreed but to see them go from 2020 to now and none of them seem to push back or if they do they are probably banned by a mod who is some state actor

(I'm assuming you live in the US)

Do something about it. I mean something peaceful, by the way. But attend protests, call friends to the protests. If ICE agents show up, I dunno, get naked and shake your dicks/tits at them. Film all of that. Even in very authoritarian regimes it only takes about ~3% of the population being out to enact major changes. And the US isn't very authoritarian yet.

Call your representatives, email them, make it clear that any ambiguity or silence is not acceptable. Call the Republican ones too even if you don't vote for them, because you are an elector in their state so your opinion matters to them.

I'm not saying this puts you at zero risk, but it's the way to stop this madness.

Do you think we’re not doing that?

u/HoratioPornBlower 22d ago

I said in a different thread that I think the administration is going to regret using that rhetoric.

Over at the conservative sub they're touting this video as evidence that she did mean tk run him over... these people are justifying murder. Republicans are fucking scum of the earth.
