I used to think that in the age of open internet (which lol is probably no more) where you can get instant access to information and the horrible poo poo that happens, as it happens, that people wouldn't allow this poo poo to happen, but instead it's labeled as fake news and a large portion of the US is okay with it all anyway because they're racist pieces of poo poo who victim-blame immigrants

I think a bigger part of the lack of prevention is summed up by this conversation that I witnessed last night

also reminder that there's nothing you or i or anyone can do about this

not nothing, just nothing that wouldn't destroy our own lives and possibly those of our families

tacodaemon posted:

anything like that wouldnt help anyway, you'd just be used as a scapegoat to make ICE/CBP/etc even worse

Al! posted:

maybe :shrug: sometimes the only way out is through

and our representatives are so incredibly insulated from their constituents via 800 layers of bureaucracy so they see neither the outrage nor the consequences of their actions

the closest modern equivalent to what Brown tried to accomplish would be on the order of a band of radical ICE abolitionists breaking open a privately owned prison, arming all the prisoners willing to come with them, and leading those escapees to seize NORAD or a nuclear silo before threatening to turn WMDs on the continental US unless everyone gets let out of the ICE camps.

and today any sort of discussion or gathering to go over a plan like that is going to be instantly spied on and data-collected by the FBI and NSA and intercepted before anyone can do anything. john brown had the opportunity to plan and act without constant surveillance, or even the scantest knowledge of assembly

it's not a coincidence that 1. there's barely been any actual successful coordinated "terror" attacks in the states since PATRIOT 2. the actual successful acts of mass violence are committed by loners and shut-ins who don't talk to anyone else

so our avenue for actually getting things done is, unfortunately, at the ballot box and campaigns to pressure the hell out of elected officials

Why can't they just have family detention units instead of separating the kids? Is there something obvious I'm missing here?

how are you still this dumb

The point is to terrorize people into not bringing their families into the country.

platitudes about how all children deserve equal love while he sends his children to elite universities and installs candidates blocking policies that would ensure greater equality among children
