mastertiguriusI can get behind the term “masked thugs”, just as the Einsatzgruppen were thugs.
The correct term might be paramilitary secret police, which puts them in that sweet spot where they basically don’t have to answer to anyone…Like the Gestapo.
The cure for those kinds of people is at the end of a rope.
cabbageYeah, they’re thugs. If people lack the imagination to realize thugs can can be white that sounds like a them problem to me.
Honestly, this reads almost as “they’re not thugs, they are white so it’s just policing as usual and that makes it alright”. I’m assuming the post is trying to say cops are bad, but if the white authoritarian racist would agree 100% with your statement maybe consider reformulating.
Of course thugs can be white, but the term is used almost exclusively for black people.
That’s your bias. I had no issue imagining white thugs. In fact there are so little black people where I live that I wouldn’t associate them as thugs. Poor? Sure, that’s social conditioning, but thugs no.
Calling ICE thugs is appropriate, albeit maybe too light. They are the KKK trash. That sounds more appropriate than Gestapo.
Sorry, but I’ll have to disagree with you on that. The term is frequently used around the UK when referring to violent people of any background, but the context in which I hear it the most is football hooligans or EDL.
I wouldn’t be surprised if those adding a racial bias to the word are from the US. Europe is generally not as preoccupied with race.
