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.

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

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

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.

Roblox roleplay ICE shooting protestors

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 17 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 10 points 19 hours 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.
