As protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) efforts continue around the country, kids have begun creating their own protests online using the popular gaming site Roblox.

Videos of such protests have been shared to TikTok, where players can be seen holding signs with anti-ICE slogans behind what appear to be police barricades as sirens flash and whir in the background.

said the same thing about gen z, now look at all the gen z incels that voted for trump because nobody told them not to listen to Joe Rogan.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is the entire generation standing behind trump? What are the numbers on that tidbit you're going off from?

Not the entire generation, there's a pretty significant split between the gen z who were in covid times in their formulative years (high school/start of college) and those who weren't

Now do genx, z, and boomers.

They’re also more religious for the first time since we’ve been tracking it. And it’s more men than women, and it’s a lot of that fundamental catholic shit like Vance and Amy Coney Barrett follow.

Makes me more depressed about the future than before I leaned that.

Explain it to me did a show on it. (warning, it’s largely religious people’s takes on it, not much about Covid or the recessions or external factors.)

TLDL: The worst part is many of the converts claimed it was because they wanted something “real” and “true”. Because the sky god is better than AI internet god I guess. We’re hosed though I’m afraid.

These Kids who are watching their CLASSMATES AND FRIENDS GET KIDNAPPED BY ICE IN SCHOOL are being INDOCTRINATED by WOKE TEACHERS and Libruls!

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 24 points 1 month ago

You're not LARPing conservative quite right. Every word that ends with an S needs an apostrophe.

These Kid's who are watching their CLASSMATE'S AND FRIEND'S GET KIDNAPPED BY ICE IN SCHOOL are being INDOCTRINATED by WOKE TEACHER'S and Librul's!

Throw in a "THIS IS ARE COUNTRIE" too.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can't believe the people at ICE are protesting these Roblox popups.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago

Give them another year or so of "cleansing" and these little popup resistance acts will be gone.

Obedient children that are left will tell you of our leaders great deeds.
