> I don't care about ICE one way or another,

Which is itself a political position, a privileged one at that

What an incredibly arrogant statement. Not everyone is American for starters.

  • Not being an American is a privileged position regarding an issue that negatively affects Americans. It's no different than if I, an American, fail to care about, say, Hungary's slide into autocracy. I am privileged to be able to not care about it.

  • It’s still a political position to take to not care about things that happen in other countries. (I’m not American either, not that it should matter.)
