Actually I don’t have anymore at all. I’ve unfollowed and ignored pretty much everyone in my life over the last few years. It does suck to not have any IRL friends
Ugh, same. The few that didn’t just drift apart over time showed their true colors over the years, all the way back to marriage equlity. Then there was the first trump term, the George Floyd protests, Ukraine, Palestine, second term, and now all of this…
I knew I grew up in a red state surrounded by cornfields and expected some to have differing opinions on hard-cutoff issues, but I didn’t expect the people who were seeing the same things I was to straight up deny reality.
And since I’ve become more withdrawn in recent years, I’m basically only friends with whoever my wife is friends with and that’s about it. I don’t have what I would call “real” friends anymore.
I’m sure ICE took the time to examine the pistol while they were beating him and thought that they should take it and execute him on the street for buying/carrying a poorly made pistol. Such a dumb comment.
I support and respect law enforcement for what it is and acknowledge that they have a very difficult and dangerous job. I also comply with orders from law enforcement because I don’t want to make a bad situation worse. But just like any other job people become jaded and there are assholes the get off on the power they wield over others and you never which officer is going to step out of that car. However ICE are not here to serve and protect, they’re a bunch of idiots with a badge and gun.
While I believe that objectively tracking down illegal immigrants and dealing with them on a case by case basis and following judicial procedures is an absolutely necessary task, ICE is completely wrong in their means and methods. Police are supposed to deescalate and meet resistance with equal force, not beat people or shoot them because they got frustrated or thought it would be fun. I know ICE are not police but they do have a gun and a badge, and should be required to follow the Constitution and jurisdictional rates of the states.
On my instance, you're currently showing 6 upvotes to 1 downvote. Given your taie is nuanced and explains itself well, I find this really surprising.
I hope my view of the pulse of this community is just wrong, and someone can admit that police and even border enforcement (not necessarily through ICE as opposed to CBP) are necessary and not get their comment suppressed into oblivion.
Lol the Batman symbol reminds me of this kid Devon I was friends with in highschool. Went from alt music to the alt right. Fucking loser, lost him as a friend during the first rump admin, he was all “keep politics out of sports”. Dude was a serious moron.
I too, have almost no friends left, but I’m so okay with it.
ai’ll
That’s a new one.
“Sieg” autocorrect Freudian slip?
He is also mad that Metallica isn’t playing the Super Bowl halftime show, fyi he always says this shit every Super Bowl.

We all know that you have to stay true to your roots by always doing what your parents told you to do.
As well as listen to mediocre heavy metal.
