They are all "following orders", just like good SS officers.

Godwin's law already.

You could say the same of UK police officers going beyond the law and arresting people for vexatious allegations. Are their colleagues fair game? And their families, because mum and dad chose to join? What about people who work for defence firms? Refusing to work for a tobacco company is very different to encouraging action, which might end up as violence, against those who do work for them.

Once you start justifying this kind of activity - and you're really justifying the inevitable results of it too - it's a slippery slope. Who gets to decide which jobs deserve this treatment? You guys apparently.

Godwin himself has said it isn't Godwin's law when talking about actual nazi actions.

Do I believe people were within their rights to stand up to the Gestapo? Yes.
Do I believe people have the right to stand up to ICE? Yes. Because they are acting in the same manner and could simply down tools if they had the self awareness to realise that what they are doing is wrong.

I'm not justifying it, just not accepting it is entirely out of any one person's control (or responsibility). It also isn't completely unexpected.

I don't really agree with even the analogies I've made, so it's not worth extending their logic too far. It's a slippery slope for sure, but balance there seem to be enough examples of zeal within ICE to temper my sympathy somewhat.

Well all those arrested, held, involved in protests are now going to be outed, their work place will be informed, their faces placed all over social media, news.

Let's see how they like it then
If the army rolls in, there will be either many deaths on the protestors side or the cockroaches will scatter
Tell us more about the UK being a police state

Saw this last night but couldn't find a source.
He did say in 2024 that if he won then it would be the last time a vote would be required. Sounded ridiculous at the time. Less so now.
