I wouldn’t say they’re ignoring it’s so much as cheering it on, and falling over each other to voice their support for it. It’s liberals getting killed after all, and they’re not Americans like republicans are Americans.
No, there’s people that love what ICE is doing, people that hate it, people who try and stop it, and the rest of us who look on in horror at the trainwreck and collapse happening in front of us…
But I can’t think of a single group of people who are ignoring it. Other than maybe for a lack of perceived other options and to keep from going insane.
Myself? I’m basically a coward. I have two young children. I don’t want to go protest ICE and get killed by one of these wannabe gestapos. I’m in a real state of fear for my children and the world they’re going to grow up in, but I literally don’t know what else I can do. Maybe I’ll help join the campaign if a democratic candidate this year and help them get elected.
But I’m not ignoring it. I can’t think of anyone who is.
First they came for the Immigrants
And I did not speak out
Because they were not Immigrants (hell they were stealing jobs so fck them)
Then they came for the US citizens who were Socialist/Leftists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist/Leftists (hell they dare protest the government so fck them)
Right up until it knocks on our own door.
Maybe if Trump goes after cryptocurrency or AI they'll start to care.
Who’s ignoring it?
Everyone who flagged this submission, and now everyone that can’t see it.
there's another submission with nearly 4x the comments that isn't flagged - this one is at least in part flagged bc it's a dupe

For however long flagging on HN has no downsides.
Until someone comes for them.
It is basically equivalent to "First They Came".
First they came for the Immigrants And I did not speak out Because they were not Immigrants (hell they were stealing jobs so fck them)
Then they came for the US citizens who were Socialist/Leftists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist/Leftists (hell they dare protest the government so fck them)
so and so forth..
