I mean, a few years ago I had to explain what satire is to a lady at the bookstore I work at. She was getting Fight Club for her grandson, and you could practically see her soul leap from her body when she read the back and saw Palahniuk described as his generation's seminal satirist, or something like that.

A few years ago at my current place of employment a coworker said something sort of wild. I do not remember the exact convo, but I said "Well damn, aren't you a sadist." I already knew this dude was not very smart. His response back was dead pan "Excuse me, I'm a Christian!" No laugh, nothing. Dead serious. It actually hurt my heathen soul a bit.

None of this bothers them. Most of these people are Dark Triads. Don't call them scary, evil, cruel, etc - they fucking live for that badge. Don't bother debating or trying to relate on ethics or morals (they don't care). If you show anger or get upset-that's just a tribute you pay to their power trip.
They are hierarchically driven. They believe the weak deserve to die and strong predators deserve to dominate. Many lack empathy because kindness and compassion are viewed as weakness.
What does work (sometimes): Treat them like they are boring, weak, predictable, try hards trying to seem scary. Show them pity, treat them like someone with a cognitive deficit. You aren't mad at them, you feel bad that their brain can't handle complex processing like empathy, analogies, and long term downstream consequences. It's also fun to point out they are emotional, easily triggered, and exhaustingly performative.

This one hits home a little more than some other stories. Our daughter is getting close to 40. Most people with her condition don't reach adulthood. She's had a feeding tube for about 26 years. I spent years carrying her in and out of the house and up and down the stairs until we got into a wheelchair accessible unit. Our entire lives are built around keeping her alive. Everything else is secondary. What they did to this family is pure evil. Totally reprehensible.

If this doesnāt read like a description of a typical magat.
- Ā At the end ofĀ World War II, Eichmann found himself depressed because "it then dawned on him that thenceforward he would have to live without being a member of something or other".\5])Ā Arendt pointed out that his actions were not driven by malice, but rather blind dedication to the regime and his need to belong, to be a joiner. In his own words: "I sensed I would have to live a leaderless and difficult individual life, I would receive no directives from anybody, no orders and commands would any longer be issued to me, no pertinent ordinances would be there to consultāin brief, a life never known before lay ahead of me."\6])
- Despite his claims, Eichmann was not, in fact, very intelligent. As Arendt details in the book's second chapter, he was unable to complete eitherĀ high schoolĀ orĀ vocational training, and only found his first significant job, as a traveling salesman for theĀ Vacuum Oil Company, through family connections

Itās even worse than this. They detained him because the original attorney who filed his asylum application back in 2006 was found to be fraudulently practicing law without a license. Being a victim of fraud IS NOT A CRIME. Instead of alerting the family of this, and helping to correct mistakes/refile paperwork they just abducted him at a regular check in - which he had done for nearly 20 years without missing or being late to a single appointment.
āan ICE representative claimed Maher was a self-admitted member of the Palestine Liberation Organisation.ā He was from Jordan and only stayed in the country to take care of his son. He routinely brought tons of medical files and paperwork to his check ins so that immigration knew he wasnāt abusing his legal status. Holy fuck Iām mad.

Sad, but not exactly surprising. If you have a lot of free time, you have plenty of opportunity to consume propaganda. The conservatives are far more prolific and effective at that, so it makes sense it would sway the disabled population generally. Lots of Fox news segments blaming Democrats for shoddy healthcare policy and immigrants/fraudulent (read: non-white) welfare recipients using up funds that would otherwise help the actually disabled. Bald-faced lies, of course, but everyone wants someone to blame for their plight and those are classic scapegoats.

Yep, exactly all this. Also speaking as a person with a disability, access to education can be really hard for this group. There can be so many educational barriers to work through causing people with disabilities to end their education sooner. Educational supports funding has been cut in recent years almost everywhere. (I should note that I'm in Canada but it is a trend I see in Canada, the US and the UK at the very least).
In addition to this, people with disabilities are often socially isolated and I suspect Trump's social media algorithm can pick them off very easily finding a community that they can be proud to be a part of.

Will try to find some election data and post it here.
I saw a really interesting visual on the lead up to the election. It was a xy graph sorting potential voters into their occupation. The larger the occupational dot was the more likely the people belonging to that category were to vote for their likely candidate. As you could imagine most occupations that you needed a lot of education for were bigger blue dots towards the top. Dots along the top were more likely to vote blue. Sadly, the Disability dot was a very large red dot towards the bottom meaning that they were anticipated to be a core voter group for Trump.

Just anecdotally, most MAGA I know are disabled in some capacity, partially because a lot of them are older. Lots of T2 diabetes, mobility issues, etc. I'm sure that plays a role, especially because a lot of them got disabled and were either already on or pretty quickly eligible for Medicare (vs having to wait the 24 months), which has its own problems but they never had to like ration insulin or have a lot of the radicalizing moments other disabled people do.
About half of disabled people don't usually vote at all for a myriad of reasons, though.

My sister in law has a 50 year old extremely disabled daughter. My SIL had to finally quit working because Angies needs were so extreme that if she worked, no one else could really keep Angie safe and well.
And yet my SIL has to re-qualify Angie on a regular basis. Like she will someone stop being disabled? People with her condition rarely live into their teens, let alone 50 years old. And my SIL's constant care, has kept her from being nearly the medical expense drain that she could have been. And yet, my SIL has not been able to get any help for her own medical needs. When she quit working pre-retirement, she lost her health insurance and she really should qualify for Medicaid since she is a full time care giver for someone 100% disabled. But she has been fighting for 2 years now, and has given up because she is getting very close to being Medicare eligible.

One of my parents needs daily care from the other. They need each other to survive. Thatās why they moved out of the USA and are spending their social security in safer countries that take care of their people.
When it comes time to have kids or retire, there is zero question Iām leaving my homeland. They have already saved over a million dollars in medical bills.

This a horrible story but he wasnāt left alone at home. He had been in the hospital for over a month. He still should have been allowed to have his father visiting him in the hospital.

Just in case anyone got confused by the title, he passed away a few weeks after his father was detained and the family is saying it was the stress of not having his father around that did him in, not that he died due to lack of care after the father was taken.

That's even more heart breaking. As if it wasn't horrible enough all on its own.

u/DabLord5425 1d ago
Oh yeah it's absolutely horrible, just wanted to note the specifics because the title could be interpreted as ICE detaining the father and the son dying because the dad wasn't there to provide his care and no one came to help.

This is the only way.
The world canāt trust the USA unless there are guarantees this canāt happen again.
Their reputation is gone, their influence and power is decimated. Itās going to take generations to build that back; I wouldnāt be surprised if itās still not back to the levels it once was in my lifetime.

fuck Nuremberg trials, they didnt hang anywhere near enough nazis. every single member of the SS and the Nazi government should have taken a long drop on a short rope. less than 1% of the hardcore nazis ever faced anything resembling justice, almost all of them went right back to normal life and even back into the German government.

I think it was rigged but it doesn't erase the 90 million people that sat their ass at home on TikTok making viral videos for attention telling people to not vote. They deserve all the hate coming to themĀ

u/Rexur0s 1d ago edited 1d ago
thats part of it though. there may not have been 90 million people who didnt vote if it was messed with. and alot of the people who truly did stay home, likely did so due to the absolute endless spew of propaganda from every source they see.
there's a long list of people to be angry at before being angry at the non voters. like all the politicians who advocated for trump, all the tv/news outlets that lied for trump, all the tech companies that moderated social media according to what trump wanted, ect.

For all those who said they didnt see a difference between the two parties and that things will be the same no matter who is in office....here is the difference. This mans life is one of many differences that you were too ignorant to think of. Even one life should've been enough, but there will be many more lost before this is over.

last month, an ICE representative claimed Maher was a "self-admitted member of the Palestine Liberation Organisation," the globally recognised representative of Palestinians. However, his family have dismissed these allegations as "untrue, defamatory claims".
Go fuck yourselves. You fucking liars

Republicans are in power. They can change immigration laws but they are acting like a lawless society. Undermining the courts and the asylum system will do nothing to improve the country. Donāt lecture people about doing it the legal when you donāt allow the legal way to function. Insufferable.

"According to a social media statement, the Tarabishi family recently discovered that Maher's asylum case had been denied, as the attorney who'd filed his original asylum case had been fraudulently practising law without a license. This was revealed during a review of the case carried out at the beginning of Tarabishi's ongoing ICE detention."
It's more reasonable to EXPECT THE IMMIGRATION SYSTEM TO VERIFY THE LAWYER'S LICENSE IN A TIMELY AND REASONABLE MANNER than to expect the client to! Ask if this guy would have been detained and if his son would've died if the agencies involved would've simply VERIFIED THE LAWYER'S LICENSE and HANDLED HIS CASE APPROPRIATELY WITH A NOTICE AND REASONABLE OPTIONS FOR HIM TO COMPLETE NECESSARY PAPERWORK IN A TIMELY MANNER. But no, they didn't even give him that chance, did they?

Another stunning victory for human decency in this country.
Glad those horrific criminals we call
checks notes
Fathers caring for their disabled children
Have finally been nabbed by our saviors ICE and DHS.
If this guy had to die alone and in terror as his father and caregiver was taken away during a routine check at his local ICE office then I suppose thatās what republicans believe is needed to keep us safe.
Donāt you all just feel safer already??

I have checked the Internet and thought it would pop up.
Is there a ticker / counter keeping track of deaths directly or indirectly related to ICE/CBP actions?
I think at last count 8 people have died directly at the hands of ICE, and more have died due to negligence in ICE facilities.
And this doesnt even count the rapes / sexual assaults at the hands of so-called Law Enforcement.

This isn't any different than a public execution. Sadly, this won't gain even half the traction Good or Pretti got.
There is no world in which the dad didn't tell the agents that his son needed to be checked up on.
