      It’s not that they can’t. It’s that they don’t care enough. Plus they enjoy the suffering.

          oh wow. I knew IBM were involved, but it always seemed to be handwaved as “yeah we sold them some computers before we knew they were evil and had no control over what they did with them”. But uhh nope. They were complicit as fuck.

            Yeah sadly Coke, Ford, IBM, General Motors, IT&T, Kodak, were the biggest ones, but “line go up” regardless of human death and suffering has existed forever and only now we’ve gotten better at codifying it

                Yup, same with Microsoft, Palantir (which is just pure evil from the start), etc. like I said, doesn’t matter who dies or suffers as long as line goes up

        Maybe someone should start helping people hide from ICE and they can make a movie about the list in a couple years.

        Insurance companies and the IRS tend to not like fraud and have a wee bit more money and political power than the average family. But you are not wrong.

          ICE is now bigger then the IRS (wild times). And I doubt the insurance industry is taking on the current administration in the us.

      They won’t until upper middle class college educated white people start being affected. The Vietnam War didn’t become a controversial topic with this demographic until they started drafting college students. Once they start sending wealthier native born white people to camps for voting Democrat is when the fighting will happen on a national scale.

      The parallels are scary. But seriously fight back your future is at stake. I have never seen such a rise in hatred and immotivated targeting of any cultural dissent in the past few years. Now anything non trumpish is being seen as un-american, but Trump is un-american, betraying in the most vulgar way the constitution. Now even legal paying foreigners are seeing more shit. And now even Americans are seeing some shit too, and it’s getting worse with palantir collecting anything personal.

    Don’t worry.They’ll learn a valuable lesson from the fallout from this and similar cases.

    From then on, ICE will make sure their victims really are dead.
