Flippanarchy
Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

I really hope the message is slowly getting through that having ICE or Border Patrol on your resume from 2025 onwards is a way to guarantee you'll never be hired at most places. If there's even a gap in your resume and you look like a thumb, people will assume that you were working at ICE and trying to avoid admitting it.
If you were stupid enough to take the job and want out, the only way is to become a whistleblower.
This is the Lemmy bubble talking. In reality, the vast majority of people don't give a shit.
Is the California government part of the Lemmy bubble?
That's not actual policy. The article cites two specific Democratic lawmakers who are known for being provocative proposing legislation and policy. In reality, their proposals will never pass because they're not popular with the public and they wouldn't get past the courts.
I'm telling you, people in the real world see ICE very differently. Most people are wary of ICE, but they largely don't care. I think you're underestimating the ignorance and apathy of your average person.
Also, companies with the most paying power have ICE on their resume.
Or it'll fast-track your career to being a cop
I'm pretty sure that anybody who could actually become a cop would have become a cop instead of an ICE agent. ICE agents are like prison guards, they're people who don't have what it takes to be a cop. I don't think experience as an ICE agent is going to help them become cops, just like there's no prison guard to cop pipeline.
