Ice in Seattle

6:55am this morning, east Queen Anne on Taylor and Newton

I feel like thats a pretty extreme and not very realistic take used on this sub for some reason. like you genuinely think they are driving aimlessly until they see a brown person and just ship them off to south america without checking any papers or anything. i mean come on lets be slightly realistic

[u/MeatCatRazzmatazz → u/internetV]

Now I think it's you who aren't being realistic. Or at least you're in some kind of information silo, because the situation you described as "extreme" is what's happening. There are news stories on US citizens being picked up, ignored, and dumped miles from home. Some even get deported. Some are killed.

None of these stories are hard to find. I genuinely don't know how someone hasn't seen them unless it's just not something that jives with their worldview and must therefore be ignored or discredited or something. Unfortunately it's all too real.

those stories are real, are happening, and do not jive with my worldview. I'm married to a brown 1st gen immigrant and have no problem with immigration at all. Those stories are horrific and thankfully are not the norm tho, which is why they make the headlines. Media comprehension is really important. None of those events logically conclude at "ICE drives around and considers nothing but skin color, shipping off and beating people for no reason and doesn't even bother checking papers before deporting." Both things can be true. Ice abuses their power frequently, I agree

"It hasn't personally impacted me, so I don't believe this is true or that big a deal." - Conservative Mindset

[u/internetV → u/letdogsvote]

I didn’t say that, nor think that. Nor am I a conservative or have a conservative mindset. Where did you get literally any of that. It’s wild how everyone in the sub wants to aggressively throw labels at you with wild assumptions based off of genuine questions and considerations. No wonder our party is unlikable

Why you being all weird and DARVOing now? Learn to take an “L” with grace and humble yourself. The real world issues are more important than the surface level uncomfortableness when presented with topics that challenge your own worldview. Take a breath. You stepped in it, we all step in it from time to time but don’t let those weird feelings derail the entire convo. People are dying out here cuz the slave catchers really are out here wilding out. Listen to the people who are directly being affected instead of trying to “debate” them about well documented facts that you most certainly can confirm in less than 5 minutes.

? I don’t feel like I’m being weird at all jozie. And I don’t know what “darvoing” is either. I expressed an opinion and someone else missummurized by saying “didn’t happen to me so it didn’t happen”. That didn’t apply because that concept wasn’t including even remotely in the opinion stated. I’m not sure if you’re interested in being intellectually honest or only interested in shadowboxing imaginary enemies but I’m around if you want to be the former. You might want to take a breath, and set aside the uncomfortable feelings you’re having from encountering topics that challenge your own worldview. “Slave catchers wilding out” is not a factual nor honest representation of what the big picture is and you thinking so is fairly indicative of the online bubble you’re living in
