this is the most dystopian title I have read in a while

homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world on 16 Apr 22:52 next collapse

It’s a grift, inside a con, wrapped up in a scam!

db2@lemmy.world on 16 Apr 23:05 collapse

Or since 1/5, an average Tuesday in America.

lupusblackfur@lemmy.world on 16 Apr 22:55 next collapse

Anything being promoted by the likes of Loomer, Engels, and (most punchable face) Gaetz should be a top-level red flag to run away screaming into the night away from that thing…

🤡 🖕 🖕

phlegmy@sh.itjust.works on 18 Apr 00:47 collapse

Am I supposed to know who any of those people are?

pogmommy@lemmy.ml on 18 Apr 06:04 next collapse

Laura Loomer and Matt Gaetz are United States fascist politicians. I assume so is the other person named, but the only Engels I’m familiar with is Friedrich.

lupusblackfur@lemmy.world on 18 Apr 15:07 collapse

Reading the article would tell you exactly who they are… 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️

phlegmy@sh.itjust.works on 18 Apr 15:29 collapse

Fuck I’m stupid

ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.works on 16 Apr 23:26 next collapse

Coffee didn’t hit my brain before reading the headline; I thought this was an app to report ICE sightings lol

(Maybe someone on F-droid could get on that?)

dmention7@lemm.ee on 16 Apr 23:44 next collapse

Thats what I thought too. The reality is still fucked up, but I don’t feel one iota of bad for people getting scammed for using an app to snitch to ICE.

Initiateofthevoid@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Apr 03:43 next collapse

(Maybe someone on F-droid could get on that?)

Seconded! I read and thought the same things, something like that would be huge right now. Hell of a time crunch and hostile work environment, but it could save a lot of lives.

We’ve got a hotline in Colorado! (844) 864-8341 They verify reports and share info with the community, and dispatch volunteer legal observers and immigration attorneys. Not sure if orgs in any other states have stood up something similar.

CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world on 17 Apr 05:42 collapse

Does anyone know if Arizona has a hotline for this?

seaplant@slrpnk.net on 17 Apr 12:12 collapse

It looks like Puente Arizona and the Phoenix Legal Action Network have one, but it might just be in the Phoenix area. 480-506-7437, more info here. <img alt="" src="https://slrpnk.net/pictrs/image/76cd36a7-d9fd-4a95-9f1a-738f81c5a273.jpeg">

Thank you🙏

Or make a fake app for the Play Store where all the reports go to /dev/null.

Duamerthrax@lemmy.world on 17 Apr 12:45 collapse

Take real reports and replace it with randomly generated people to flood the ICE systems with false reports.

ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.works on 17 Apr 15:23 next collapse

Lmao this is the type of creativity the world needs. Shame about the circumstances requiring it, however

joel_feila@lemmy.world on 18 Apr 06:31 collapse

I would actually be ok with ai generated photos being used for this

How’s it feel to live in the cyberpunk prequel?

IvanOverdrive@lemm.ee on 17 Apr 06:33 next collapse

So let’s spin up some AI generated “photos” and flood their servers with fake reports!

The only legitimate use of genAI…

Willem20@feddit.nl on 17 Apr 06:45 next collapse

The parrallels to the persecution of jews in WW2 is massive. This is very similar to how it played out back then

Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Apr 12:30 next collapse

Its extremely disturbing, im very hesitant to use the word fascism (as it has been massively over used muting its true meaning) but what we are now seeing is just that. I pray Americans can find a way to stop this insanity.

Duamerthrax@lemmy.world on 17 Apr 12:43 collapse

No. The meaning has been true for a while. People just ignored the signs because it was inconvenient to stamp it out sooner.

Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Apr 13:09 collapse

Im not going to debate this, it has been overused in the last decade leading to people rolling their eyes somewhat when its used.

SpicyColdFartChamber@lemm.ee on 17 Apr 14:04 next collapse

No it hasn’t. It’s just that whenever you call a facist a facist they say “You call everyone a facist!”. This is how they work - they deny, delay and downplay any critique.

Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Apr 14:09 collapse

Agree to disagree.

Szyler@lemmy.world on 18 Apr 10:18 collapse

No. You can have an opinion, but that doesn’t prove it isn’t settled in facts.

Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 18 Apr 14:14 collapse

Yes. I am not continuing it further as we’ll never agree.

Duamerthrax@lemmy.world on 17 Apr 14:32 collapse

Im not going to debate this,

And yet, you still replied.

I’ve been seeing the US slide into fascism for the past 20 years. As long as I’ve been politically aware. Bush Jr set the stage of this problem and while none of the Democrats have been actively fascist, they also haven’t done anyway thing to reverse course either.

People aren’t rolling their eyes. They’re turning their head because they don’t want to face reality.

phoenixz@lemmy.ca on 17 Apr 14:56 next collapse

Well yeah, but at least the Nazis had the cool looking uniforms and style, this gang just shoves meme coins down yout throat while preparing extermination camps.

Not trying to defend Nazis, they’re the worst and are all burning in hell but, you know, at least they had something.

joel_feila@lemmy.world on 18 Apr 06:26 collapse

Around 15 years ago i explained to friend how to prep a society for genocide. I used left handed people in my example. Over the last few years i have seen it Play out almost exactly.

MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml on 17 Apr 10:18 next collapse

Wanted to take a look at it but it’s not even in play store.

gwilikers@lemmy.ml on 18 Apr 05:52 next collapse

Could this be reverse engineered?

primemagnus@lemmy.ca on 18 Apr 06:04 collapse

And there you have it folks. The big reveal. Trump, with help from who else, Elon, is taking all the dumbshits that follow him for a ride with crypto. Why crypto? Because it’s essentially trillions of dollars of unregulated, untraceable, revenue stream without legal scrutiny. No pump and dump has been successfully challenged and nearly every “influencer” (which let’s face it, that’s what Trump is) at one point has cashed in.

Yeah. It’s not very clever. But it’s Trump and Elon. Two people not know for their brains.
