That’s not what a false flag operation is.
What Trump is doing is narcissistic abuse baiting. Keep abusing and harassing until the abused cant take it any more and snaps, reacting violently, and then claiming that the abuser is actually the victim. They’re baiting for the manufactured consent to crack down and take hostile control.
In the meantime, as they murder people, abduct people, utilize for-profit concentration camps in which most were not convicted of a crime, and further remove the rights we are supposed to have.
What should be done in the meantime? Are you proposing nothing be done? Because if any action is taken against them, then they would be justified to do what they are already doing?
Do everything you can to help the people affected by the policies that isn’t direct violent confrontation. Direct confrontation will be used as an excuse to crack down harder. Warn others of ICE presence, help people get out of an area quickly and safely, defend people being attacked, record the interactions, never be the aggressor against ICE. Its tragic but Alex Pretti and Nicole Goode have become rallying symbols and examples of the awful behavior of ICE. Yes there is a dedicated online effort to smear them, and there are still people countering the messaging. If you find that you’re in a position where simple sabotage is possible, do it.
Make peace with the fact that helping others is a dangerous proposition, and only you can decide what you are capable of doing and how much you’re willing to risk.
Thank you. This is a much more appropriate response.
Advocate for action and self defense against fascism.
Uderstand, you may have allies that have different methodologies, but you are still allies.
If helping others is dangerous, then it is better to live in constant danger than to live peacefully.
