And having successfully evicted all Muslims, Jews, Atheists, and "non-Christians" from government, we can then get back to what this country is really about: Protestants fighting over power with Catholics, Anabaptists, Presbyterians, Mormons, and so forth.

You ain't seen nothing yet.

I know.

This is exactly what Hitler did.


The United States currently deports visa holders for criticizing a foreign Jewish country, Israel. Don't lump in the power structure with those who are actually victims.

We’re deporting people for any and no reason, including a tattoo of “an autism awareness ribbon” [1].

Trump was elected to stop illegal immigration. He’s staffed his White House with idiot sycophants, however, and so can’t actually do that because it’s hard. So we get random deportations to make the numbers while the gangs probably have the freest reign they’ve ever had amidst the confusion at the FBI and in D.C.

The man was deported due to his tattoo. His tattoo was of an autism awareness ribbon. The man was deported due to his autism awareness ribbon tattoo.

The US government doesn't seem to be specifically targeting autism awareness, but it is targeting people with innocuous tattoos, including in this situation a tattoo of an autism awareness ribbon.


And he wasn’t deported, he was sent to a black site in a foreign country with no sentence and nobody willing to take responsibility for him. A life sentence.

Very certainly not in the understanding of, hopefully, most.

Edit: now, the very clear intention of that poster, with a high degree of probability, seems from here to suggest that the running situations can be absurd.


Would you agree, "deporting because otherness" would make a fabulous liberal bs headline? The only problem, it doesnt mention tatoos.

I sincerely hope you'll manage to leave the right reality distortion field some day, mr hnpolicestate.


Sorry, I do not understand your post. You say, I understand, that some are investigated because of tattoos; we understand some of them are being deported; then you seem to state that the deportation is not because of the tattoos. Well, it seems after the tattoos... And the press does not make it evident that proper evidence is sought - it makes it look very discretionary.

What was the intended logic?


The account “hnpolicestate” arguing against the idea of a police state by defending tattoo-based deportation stereotypes is peak satire. You couldn’t script it better.


I am not sure the poster is «arguing against the idea of» (etc.). Have you read both posts in the branch?


I wanted to point out their username


Textbook MAGA logic. Just like all the Americans who spent the last few years claiming that they were free speech absolutists who acted mortally offended if you even suggested that wasn’t a genuinely held belief who for “reasons unknown” are completely silent with nothing to say on the topic any more.

It’s a political group of fundamentally dishonest people.


I didn't vote in 2024 or 2020. Identical parties.

It seems, from your other post, that your understanding of "autistic" is "non paranoid" - somebody who does not read in other's intentions what his own mind, calibrated on his own use and language, would suggest.

Now, we have more problems there: * your disrespectful attitude towards those who have to deal with dire conditions, and * your belief in what your mind tells you, and * your idea that you believing your perceptions would be good practice...

Re-read the guidelines, because your reading of people's speech is undesirable in general and here in particular.


Ableist comments like that don’t belong here. Let’s keep it respectful.


That does not necesserly mean that they care about particular religion.
