Shooting ICE agents doesn't violate their rights at all in many cases, particularly in recent cases. The main moral/strategic reason to not shoot ICE agents is that it would risk escalation. But if ICE is escalating anyway, then past a certain point, this reason goes out the window. It might well be good if more people shot back.
ICE agents often act in ways that make them look like random thugs anyway, and it is often okay or good to shoot random thugs in self-defense and in defense of others. On a personal emotional level, morals aside, I want ICE agents to be afraid they might get shot, and I want them sometimes to get shot. I think this is sometimes morally good as well, though I leave it an open question how often.
I'm saying this on Tumblr and not on Facebook, because I think I'm entitled to say it, and I am less afraid of getting in trouble on Tumblr than on Facebook.
crossposting here bc this tactic needs to spread like wildfire
I have a controversial idea too. If you don't want people to do something, don't tell them to do it. You tell people that if they never go to school, they deserve to work for a poverty wage forever. Now you tell them that if they do go to school, they deserve to be in debt forever.
Here's another controversial idea. Going into debt to get an education shouldn't even be an option.
"And you took him down? Excellent." Then they proceed to laugh.

This is beyond horrific. The IOF is filled with depraved sadists and war criminals.
"White male conservatives want to be oppressed so badly."
This isn't true at all.
If they're working class, they're oppressed by the rich.
Many of them could easily be neurodivergent in some way but undiagnosed.
Very likely a majority of them were abused by their parents.
So if they wanted to be oppressed, they most likely already are. They could easily speak out against their actual experiences with oppression.
What they want isn't to be oppressed. What they want is the feeling of victory over oppression without actually having to experience the oppression. Fighting back against the ways that they're actually oppressed would be hard work, would be met with massive opposition, ridicule, and possibly even violence, and would be an ongoing battle that only once in a blue moon results in victory. But if they claim to be oppressed as a white man, then they can feel victorious whenever they see a woman or a person of color suffering.
