The correct answer to “Why the sticker?” is “Why the fascism?”
I liked her answer because she can continue to waste their time instead of being targeted for harassment.
Is being harassed also not wasting their time?
If they are enjoying it, it’s not a waste.
Thats a very narrow view but okay. Personally mine is anything that prevents them from actually impacting innocent lives
Wtf did you just say about my view?!
Its narrow! Like your mom!
I would also accept “Because this is America” to hammer it home

Well some mod keeps removing peoples’ comments that aren’t even going against the grain of other commenters so… maybe you should be repeating what they said?
Something something 2A
In a Rambo movie, its cool as hell.
IRL, I’ve got a few WW2-era relatives who will tell you how fucking hard it is to take a life for the first time. Even setting aside the consequences of doing what is going to be immediately flagged as first degree murder, it cannot be properly expressed how horrible the act of killing another person is for the human soul.
This is the difference between someone who wants to use their gun defensively and someone who just wants an excuse to murder people.
You don’t unholster your gun unless you’re prepared to take a life. You pray you never have to.
But there are just too many people who are thirsty to take a life and that should worry all of us.
Even hunting takes something out of you. It’s a feeling not like another to take a life, and not a good feeling at all.
An animal cannot choose to be a nazi nor fabricate a genocide, so yea, that’d definitely hit different.
Eehhhhhhh personally I think it’d depend greatly on who it was.
Some poor sap drafted or otherwise forced to fight against me for someone else’s cause? Yea, that’s going to suck.
Choking out some loser who fantasizes about being hitler in 2025? Yea, I’ll sleep like a baby that night.
While a German soldier in ww2 could go either way, some fascie piece of shit cosplaying in the US has no obligation to be such a piece of shit and has thusly chosen that path. Such a mfer who chooses to be that vile? Yea, remorse isn’t entering the equation.
But you do get to make a horcrux and become immortal.
Comedy aside, well said.
I mean, “paranoid geriatric fascist serial killer performs home invasion in an attempt to murder a baby” describes a JK Rowling character and your choice of IDF or ICE officer equally well.

Mods banned the constitution lol
“What sticker?”
One time, I was smoking a cigarette in my car, outside of my house. A cop pulled up behind me and blasted their lights. They asked me a ton of questions, most of which I refused to answer. I gave them ID which had my FUCKING address, and they still said, “You ain’t from around here are you?”. Mother fucker, you don’t even live in this zipcode. You are at MY address. It was a Pacific beach surfing sticker and a Bernie sticker. They also told me to take them off. They went off in a pout, and the deputy told me they were just training the newbie. To what, profile people?
To profile people? Yep.
This is an example of resistance as culture. It might be a small act but it demonstrates the point.
I think that’s something that could work. Things like fashion to mess with facial recognition. Movies or tasks to mess with our algorithms. Distracting facsists with a flag. Culturally, capitalism feeds on the creativity of leftists type people and always has done. We can’t feed it anti-capitalism because that just feeds it. So, we have to make fucking with the machine the culture itself and offer something they never can: warmth, community and authenticity.
It’s the little things that really add up.
-
add a Mexican flag to your vehicle
-
cover your face with a wide brimmed hat and mask
-
wear t-shirts with faces of Mexican people on it to mess with facial recognition
-
telephone the ice hotline and report illegals hanging out at a local business, give them the address of a police station or ® senators office
-
film every interaction you see and upload it to social media
-
follow ICE vehicles back to their depots, then follow the agents home and make a note of their address
-
send printed covertly taken photos of their spouses, parents, and children along with a boxcutter to their office
Just little things we can do as a community.
wide-brimmed and mask
Mexican flag
Yeehaw!

An American friend that lives here in Germany sent our city’s flag to her parents. They put it up in their front yard to mess with their racist neighbors. When they got mad they just innocently said “Well, that’s just a souvenir from our daughter.”
Jfc god forbid you have a flag of another country. How dare you like anything about another country aside from America. Fucking fascists.
Land of the free
Italian Flags look identical to Mexican Flags from a distance.
Just putting this out there, for anyone who wants to experience Italian Discrimination firsthand.
I am definitely stealing ‘white as a hotel towel’ to refer to myself and other mayonaise-complexioned people, that’s incredible, hahaha!
I always use “Whiter than sour cream”
How about ‘whiter than christmas morning at the hamptons’?
All fun and games until they throw her in a cage. I hate to break it to you, when ICE is kidnapping people, they aren’t checking your documents first. They’re just disappearing you to the back of the van. If they happen to get a few citizens too, well that’s just collateral damage.
One can hope it would result in a massive lawsuit, public outrage, and change. My bet is that it doesn’t even make headlines, Faux News slanders the woman for being an “immigrant sympathizer” and the Trump administration tries to strip her citizenship for aiding and abetting enemies of the state (you know Jesus who pays his taxes and picks fruit seasonally in Arizona).
Looks like you struck a nerve with the bots lol
Omg wtf you’re not kidding, I’ve never seen that on lemmy. It looks like 20+ comments from the same account removed. I’m curious as to what they said.
I partially agree with you, but I also believe in the undefeatable power of white woman tears.
United States should change its name to “State”
Fascist States of America.
Hmm. Yeah, you’re right. I’m just being redundant.
Amerikkka
Absolute Bloody State
Spelled with a double S.
ICE is the SS in united StateS
PSA
Police State of America
“United Deep State” will really drive it home
Funny until they decide you are aiding ‘illegals’.
Well shit, I’m gonna buy a whole 1000 pack of Mexican flag stickers and throw them on every car in every parking lot I see.
I’m a white hotel towel Mexican
Always thought it was strange to mark “White, Hispanic” on everything because that was an option always growing up. Like you all really do need to know my skin color don’t you.
If you didn’t know my last name you’d never guess I wasn’t “American”
You mean like Texas Senator Rafael “Ted” Cruz?
If I recall correctly, it’s actually a throw back to the American Mexican war, when the war ended one of the terms of the treaty was that Hispanics would legally be white, and thus safe from things like slavery. So later when the government census wanted to know they invented “white, Hispanic”.
I remember my grandfather telling me a story about how he didn’t know which bathroom to use when he came to the US and someone told him to use the white.
Interesting
Fascinating and plausible.
Who is even asking you that?
I get told all the time I’m not Hispanic because I’m white.
Its not my fault a white Brit knocked up my Costa Rican grandma. And my grandma certainly cultured me while she was alive.
So I just say I’m a white Hispanic to clear the confusion.
I’m half Mexican half Finnish. Strange mix. Pure white.
I understand the hardship
Random people do not think my father is my father.
I’ve been stopped multiple times by police walking with him to make sure I was okay when I was a kid. All good, just walking around the neighborhood with my dad lol.
Edit: It’s also funny growing up people asking me who our gardener was. Also my dad.
I’m pretty sure that any of the psychos signing up to be ICE thigs would LOVE to have a Mexican flag sticker plastered on their car’s back bumper. Pretty sure.
Use old flags of European countries and say you are a history buff.
Use flags of fictional countries and say that you are a fantasy buff.
So many opportunities.
Use the flag of 1940s Germany and get a high five.
Or the stars and bars.
Or exert your 1st amendment rights and put whatever sticker you want on your car without providing any justification whatsoever.
Shit, USA has genuinely succumbed to fascism.
I live in a country where fascist and communist symbols are forbidden in non-historical settings, so I can’t brag about my “freedom”.
Better option: find a swasticar, and stick a flag on the back of it. Waste the time of the pig and the trumpster in a cybertruck
I’m not white and I often joke about putting an American flag in my front yard to avoid racist attacks
