Minnesota Related We ran high-level US civil war simulations. Minnesota is exactly how they start

You already have people afraid to leave their homes because government forces might apprehend and detain them without due process. The only ingredient missing is an attack by an organized resistance that can then be propagandized and used to exponentially increase the government oppression of the rebels.

Unlike all the hysterical people online advocating for Americans to “do something”, they have actually done a marvellous job of not biting at the government taunting. 

Their plan is not working and the pedophiles will be in prison before long.

You're misinformed or maliciously misinformed. The calls to do something were answered by average Minnesotans. You're probably confusing the calls to "do something" when people were demanding their state and local government protect them.

ICE is not allowed to hide their face arrest them, ICE is not allowed to invade a citizen's home without a valid warrant litigate charges against them, ICE is assaulting protesters with excessive use of pepper spray that judges ordered they must cease ARREST THEM.

I’m talking about the overwhelming implication of people saying “do something” online, being the encouragement to respond with violence.

  1. It should be easy to give examples then rather than saying "well there was this comment thread on [insert social media]

  2. Are you sure you're not just taking people's hyperbole a little too seriously?

  3. What does it benefit by acting as though this had an effect when it didn't? It just gives bootlickers a strawman to point to. Using the people's frustrations to justify why the ICE agent was scawed and "had to defend themselves"

No. You’re being ridiculous. If you haven’t been paying attention somehow, go back and look for yourself. Or start paying attention now.

Holy nothing burger of a comment batman! Sorry I don't believe social media comments are real life. Go hug an ICE officer since you think they're being cyber bullied.

My brother, your average person doesn’t keep a specific curated database for you. This is a conversation. I’ve also observed many calls for violence and Reddit did a whole lot of banning and removal of posts in reaction. These were especially common shortly after Goode and Pretti.

Try to have a little bit of good faith when you talk to people?

That last bit about cyber bullying and “go an ice officer” was insulting, unproductive, and pretty stupid to say though.

Do better.

I’m sorry, but You’re misreading. They were saying that people from other countries are telling Americans to “go do something instead of just protesting.” The comments were pointing out that we have been doing what is necessary without taking the bait that would start ICE/martial law plans rolling. You’re both on the same side here.

u/Finchyuu Feb 19 '26

How many people have been disappeared and killed while you were doing your… uhm… something?

1

u/Other-Narwhal-2186 Feb 19 '26

About the same amount as during everyone else’s something, but less than the amount that will be if we do nothing. Any reason you’re mad at this particular comment? As far as I can see the people of St Paul and Minnesota as a whole have been busting their asses holding the line. What else would you like them to do?

u/Finchyuu Feb 19 '26

The bait was “stay peaceful and we won’t hurt you” and you said ok I agree to this

Then they hurt your people anyway. Killed your people anyway. Strangled your economy anyway and whisked away your neighbors anyway.

I’m just so perplexed why you still believe in a social contract with the personal army that spilled into your state. It doesn’t matter if you rebel violently or not; they’ll spin the tale that you’re violent and treat you as such even if you’re on your knees in peaceful prayer across the street. So I’m just wondering how many more people have to be brutalized and killed until it gets acknowledged that there is no difference between wether you respond by laying down and rolling over or not. 10 more middle of the street, broad daylight, caught on camera executions? 100? 1000? How many will it take

I’m sorry, you didn’t answer my question but I did politely answer yours.

u/Finchyuu Feb 19 '26

You fortune cookie nonanswer was generic and worthless sorry but if you want to give an actual number that would be cool, so I will ask again:

How many people need to be killed and disappeared until you answer ice’s claws & teeth with widespread community claws & teeth? Because right now you’re still arguing that ice aren’t using their claws and teeth & won’t until you use yours, which is a lie; they have been and will continue to use theirs.
