There’s no reason everyone that protests shouldn’t be dressed exactly like ice.
As long as they’re not wearing any badges or police insignia, this is the way.
Iceis
This is the plan
Trump thinks that people will then demand a strongman president to protect them.
I don’t think Trump thinks this. I think his puppeteers think this and he is just the shameless puppet.
amplifying the “iranian terrorists are coming to get us” narrative hurts brown people more than it helps anything
using one racist narrative to fight another.
You’re not wrong but the people in charge and those voting for them only seem to understand this type of rhetoric. If we don’t break their hold on power it will only get worse for Iranians (and Americans).
Why do we have to pin a country on this action? Sure, now, it would be easy for Iran to do something. It would be just as easy for some group of people, like those who tried to kidnap Gretchen Widmar, or Vance Boelter wannabes.
Trump, Pam Bondi, and Tom Homan have unleashed chaos. Plus SCOTUS.
Because a certain demographic of the US doesn’t give a shit unless something personally affects them. Homegrown terrorism doesn’t affect them because obviously they won’t be the targets. Iranian terrorism is scary to them.
It’s a big country, the USA. I have a hard time sometimes remembering we have 340 million human running around. It’s easy to believe things don’t affect us. But, it’s like I tell people, when one human in Indiana loses their First Amendment right, we all do. We may not immediately feel it but the precedent has been set.
I’m specifically talking about Republicans. You could show any amount of atrocities to them and they’ll hand wave it until it personally affects them. Head over to leapordsatemyface for some good examples of people yelling “I didn’t vote for this!” when it’s literally exactly what they voted for.
We keep pinning shit on other countries. My parents used to say “there are starving children in Africa” as if there weren’t any homeless children in our neighborhood.
True. I remember riding the bus thinking some of my friends were probably starving. 99.99% of us are closer to being starving and homeless than we are to Jeff Bezos. We don’t vote like, though.
Fuck this imperial terrorism propaganda. USA is the actual terror regime. Get a clue, libs.
Why would you direct this at libs when the right are the ones going batshit crazy?
Leftists do not like libs. Many leftists believe that liberals contribute to setting up the breeding ground that fascists rise from. Many leftists believe that liberals partake in a system that even allows for fascism to rise.
I do not care to explain further. Research can be done, or perhaps someone else with a bit more energy than I right now can jump in :)

Some people want to place blame to absolve themselves of any responsibility they may have.
“Not my circus, not my monkeys. Not my problem, just the countries.”
Liberals haven’t lost their minds and can be talked to obviously.
Far Right wing (Republicans) literally having full control of everything
Blames only the libs
Internationally, most people mean the pro-corporate anti-regulation right when they say liberals. It’s exclusively a U.S. thing afaik to equate liberalism with anything left of center, which causes a lot of confusion.
That doesn’t change what I said. There’s fascism in power now in the USA, not liberals anymore. That’s why I specified far right rather than standard right.
the libs know about it, they helped set it up.
How about both
Krasnov and his fucking thugs set the precedence.
I like the concept of planting this idea in people’s minds, but then (even more) innocents will die.
A far more likely scenario is a certain secret agency will do so as a false flag operation. Public opinion in the US is still not supportive of a war against Iran but that could change.
So foreign terrorists could cosplay as domestic terrorists and we’d have no way of knowing which kind of terrorist they are?
Interesting times we live in
If they come for you, don’t worry your bags will meet you at the destination. Get on the train.
Well…if they’re white, domestic terrorists.
If they’re arabic, foreign terrorists.
It gets really fun when the blue man group join in. Then you don’t know WHATS going on!
First they came for the immigrants
Then they came for the activists
Then they came for the blue man group
Finally America had had enough
If they’re white, “lone wolves with mental health disorders”
Or why average Americans don’t just do the same and go rob a bank or convenience store … just arrest people randomly, zip tie them, take all the money and leave everyone behind.
The best part would be the local news reporting the masked robbers looked like this and ask if anyone has spotted them
They are
I know of at least 2 cases
No body armor
I noticed that too, I hope they get what’s coming to them.

Are the Iranian terrorist cells in the room with us right now? Why not go with the much more common example of white supremacist domestic terrorism?
Sources told NBC News Iran sent a communication to President Donald Trump in the days before Saturday night’s strikes on its nuclear facilities, threatening to activate sleeper-cell terror inside the United States if it were attacked.
I’ll have manufacturing consent for $500, Alex.
Because media gaslighting works so well that people usually aren’t aware that they’ve been affected by counterfactual narratives before they start actively reinforcing them by repetition.
The Google trends for this particular phrase:
It’s hard not to wonder if the bump back in late March or April was from the folks selling stories right now
what part of “thought exercise” do you not understand. its an extrapolation of current events, and hypothetical scenarios. not a statement of a factual event that has happened. You cant imagine this occuring?
Here’s a way to improve the “thought exercise”: make it take place in reality instead he imaginary world racists live in.
Why not go with the much more common example of white supremacist
Because that’d be preaching to the choir. Trump voters don’t care about white supremacist attacks.
So the solution is to reinforce their racist beliefs?
Will the real terrorists please stand up?
If you google how many people were murdered by “iranian terrorists” versus white supremacists, the result might surprise you.
Yes although the recent political murders shows that you can literally just dress up as a cop and drive around in a fake police car shooting people in the head. This stuff has always been possible.
The difference now is that refusing to show ID used to be grounds for most people to call the real police.
And get shot by both
‘This is madness! Iran could do what we do all over the world!’
Iran has drones, and shoots targets withoutfirst confirming if the target even is their intended target?
I thought only the USA did that!
Please do not spread misinformation - we only make ourselves less credible when doing so.
US and Israel do that, not Iran.
No, they don’t. They’ve been extremely reserved in target selection.
And here starts the planting of the idea that Iran is going to attack American soil… Media outlets including posts like this on social media are now shifting the narrative to make American’s fearful and to help shift blame and hatred onto Iran. It’s as if the much publicised ICE raids with narrative about their lack of identification was actually planned, or something. There’s like a playbook of this.
Yeah, our ally attacked iran without cassus belli, iran retaliated, and we bombed iran in response.
If iran chooses to attack us in response we should br mad at our president for starting it and regardless we should demand peace and accountability
our ally… we… us… we… our… we…
Fuck the nationalist “we”. Cult speak. Never ally with fascists. Never support genocide.
Not just US media. The Australian news went from “What the heck is Israel doing?” to planting seeds for both the idea of a terror attack on US soil and Iranian “regime change” into public space in only four days. They all fall into line without question when the US is writing the narrative.
