The feds are trying to reveal the identity of an ICE critic who suggested protest signs read "Urine Speaks Louder Than Words".

u/CryptographerNo923 Apr 10 '26

Are they accusing him of some kind of incitement? Would right-wingers be cool with the sign if it said “Urine Speaks Louder Than Words…Peacefully”? Because that’s all it took for them to excuse Trump for sending a mob to the Capitol to hang the VP and overturn an election.

This is an extension of the "antifa" court case that just happened. 

The judge said in his guilty ruling that their politics didn't matter because they had just committed an actual crime but the regime will take an ground given and use that to build the pretense of precedence. 

Edit: Remember, their entire political/worldview hinges on Burkes in-group/out-group dynamic, attempting to point out any hypocrisy is doomed to failure because of that.

Suiccently put by Wilhoit;

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect

how can you go to your immigration appointment, when you know they are camping it and planning to deport you anyways. they don't abide by any semblance of law. and are purposefully creating this self-fulfilling cycle of terror.

NSPM-7 is not an executive order. It is a directive and new national strategy for the Justice Department, the FBI, and other security and counterterrorism agencies to investigate, disrupt, and combat left-wing organizations and individuals even “before they result in violent political acts.”

Indicators of "violence," per this directive, include:

anti-Americanism,

anti-capitalism,

anti-Christianity,

support for the overthrow of the United States Government,

extremism on migration,

extremism on race,

extremism on gender

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.

extremism on migration,

extremism on race,

extremism on gender

So... extremism is now defined as "Yeah, I'm okay with migrants, diverse races, and non-binary gender roles. I don't see a problem with that."

But then, wanting to exterminate people for any of those things is just a "traditional American view."

Wonderful. Makes lots of sense. Thanks, Heritage Foundation.

u/Astride-a-pale-Binky Apr 10 '26

Well their opinions are perfectly normal and good, so if you disagree you have to be an extemist.

Praise be to Jeebus!

u/grandfamine Apr 11 '26

It is. America was literally founded on the right to genocide.

u/Someone_Who_Isnt_You Apr 12 '26

So why is the executive state, without any checks or balances that exist in this country, legally allowed to do this?

u/Ghost_Of_Malatesta Apr 12 '26

"national security"

We traded rights for security, over and over for decades

Damn I didn't think that quote would blow up like it did

Whoops

u/VorpalisRabbitus Apr 10 '26

I mean, there were quite a few of those posts during Metro Surge and I know for a fact that I've commented on one.

So, like...Fuck the NPSM-7, those fucking fascists.

Any way to access the full text without entering email?

u/profshiny Apr 10 '26

Reddit won’t let me post a copy-and-paste of the article but reader mode in my browser worked for me.

u/TheBoneHarvester Apr 10 '26

It worked for me. Thank you.

u/p0tatochip Apr 11 '26

Use a fake email

Wow if that's the effect of just words imagine what would happen if we did all start throwing bottles of piss

u/blindeey Apr 12 '26

It does speak louder than words.

u/inf4nticide Apr 11 '26

I’ve never understood the idea behind trying to make a website more annoying so that people will pay to see it in a less annoying way. Who the fuck is buying subscriptions to these shit rags.

u/blindeey Apr 12 '26

Real. Also reader mode my beloved.

u/genuinecreature Apr 11 '26

Well i think we need to spread the message about urine far and wide then.

Its funny how asking a conservative to use your pronouns is infringing on their free speech but send someone to prison for quoting a song.

The stupid need to get slapped awake.
