    Of course they don’t, the hope here is that fascists are cowards and they will just leave ICE when they know they can get shot.

    Going to war and harassing civilians are very different things.

    because not resisting will not bring you anything either

    Exactly, hopefully with organisation the American people can change the game entirely, but unfortunately I think it will get worse before it gets better.

      Yea so do i.

      If that turns out true that’d be great, but i don’t expect it will unfortunately. I don’t mean to insult you, but i consider that quite a naive pov.

        The idea is not mine, during WW2 the Nazi cowered several times when the tide was not in their favour. Including abandoning Auschwitz against orders when the red army approached.

        The same can be seen with bullies. When you push back, they give quite easily.

        Of course these are not solid evidence, but they helps me sleep at night 😅

        Francly I think it doesn’t matter, cowards or not they must be resisted if we want to maintain freedom. I am not American so I am not involved in this particular fight, but there are plenty of fascists that would do the same in Europe given the opportunity.
