Buddy, it's like the SS are coming.

[–] DivineDev@piefed.social 72 points 3 weeks ago

And even if it wasn't, when the SS is what first comes to mind when thinking "who is worse than ICE?", that's already enough of a problem on its own.

O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao

American here. Can confirm.

It's weird how well they knew what to claim while claiming the opposite

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 98 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

You mean the country that invented fascism doesn't see the problem with ICE?

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 39 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

This is their current Prime Minister...

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I see "Mussolini" and "buon politico" and feel like I can piece enough together.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't speak Italian either, but I know enough Spanish (not much) to figure out what it says...

[–] YellowParenti@lemmy.wtf 9 points 3 weeks ago

Speak spanish

I think that mussolini was a good politician

To be fair, the SS used IBM and cocaine to achieve levels of efficiency that ICE can only dream of. ICE is using hallucinating LLMs and Sudafed, clearly.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 10 points 3 weeks ago

And also currently have a fascist government.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 81 points 3 weeks ago

Buddy, your grandpa got the same thing wrong 90 years ago.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 57 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Why is US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement even going to provide security for a sports event in another country, anyway? It seems bizarrely out of scope.

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly, it's a rare chance for us Europeans to organise a huge protest against ICE. Now I'm kinda dreaming this happens.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

They will deport all the Italians in Italy, obviously.

I mean Italy has always viewed the SS in positive light, so makes sense they view ICE the same way

They already have no legitimacy in the US, fuck business do they have going to another country?

It IS exactly inviting gestapo to your country. Other country's hit squad having no jurisdiction whatsover.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 38 points 3 weeks ago

This will age like milk

[–] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 37 points 3 weeks ago

It is like the SS is coming.

[–] Ascendor@discuss.tchncs.de 37 points 3 weeks ago

Well, yes it is.

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 27 points 3 weeks ago

yah it kind of is turning into that.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

My boy Antonio really just went with the first comparison that jumped to mind.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago

Really? Explain how this isn't that exact situation.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 21 points 3 weeks ago

it's not like the SS are coming

That is a strangely specific comment, especially about a group that constantly is compared to the SS .... Because they fucking behave like the SS!

So yeah, yes! The SS are coming and you're rolling out the red carpet

Fuck these Nazis, you should all block their entrance to the country. Hell, Europe should have a requirement that (ex) ice employees aren't welcome. They so the same for ex nazis, don't they?

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't understand why they would go in the first place. They are homeland security. That's not our home land wtf

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I was wondering what role they would be in as well.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

what "Immigrations Customs Enforcement" objective can it possibly serve to send ICE to italy?

It seems like they're trying to turn the olympics into some kind of fascist goon festival.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 weeks ago

They're just there to keep the trains running on time.

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Wouldn’t it be the brown shirts?

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yeah. Sturmabteilung (SA) aka brownshirts is technically the more accurate comparison.

[–] Dremor@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

More like the SA.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 16 points 3 weeks ago

What an odd thing to say.

Why would of all groups of people the SS would pop into their head, unprompted? Hmmmmm.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 15 points 3 weeks ago

And italy knows their fascists!

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It is like the SS are coming.

I’ve taken to calling them ICEatzgruppen.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

It's like the sa are coming. The ss were a military company, the sa were political police.

This is like some always sunny shit.

"it's not like the SS is coming"

Cue the always sunny title music and the text "the SS ruins the Olympics"

In protest I won't even watch it.

Yeah like that's never happened before

[–] counterfactual@sopuli.xyz 11 points 3 weeks ago

Mussolini II

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, not yet. Maybe, not exactly. Early stage Gestapo perhaps?

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

The Sturmabteilung (SA), also known as the brownshirts are more apt. ICE is far too bumbling, incompetent and obvious to be the Geheime Staatspolizei, or secret state police.
