      Good idea in theory, but you’d be facing a shitload of pressure from your fascist thug “colleagues” to commit all sorts of heinous acts and it’s not unlikely that they’d go to great and violent lengths to force you to comply just like they do with their other victims.

      It’s certainly tempting.

      If I wasn’t already employed, in sure there’s a way to get hired as an ICE agent for a full blown do-nothing position.

      Hell, game the system right and you can be hired three or four times. I doubt their HR is worth a shit.

      Honestly… Like I’ve thought of that. Get 100k+ a year, and then just slow roll, mix up numbers on paperwork, distract people with conversation so nothing gets done, etc if you had a loose internal network of accomplices, you’d at least be adopting the tactics that worked for your enemies. At which point you can learn to refine and counter

        And when you’re part of a team of 10 others as you pull over your van and get out to blackbag a 6 year old immigrant girl would you feel justified knowing that her terror you are personally contributing to is worth a few incorrect paperwork’s in a system that doesn’t care about the law?

          Or maybe ziptie her and her parents quite loosely so at the first chance they can run away

          It keeps happening regardless, so why not do what you can as an insider. You need people on all fronts against a facist regime

            I’ve thought about it. They wouldn’t have me, but even if they would, if you swim in the shit, you get it all over you. At some point you would have to do something truly terrible or blow your cover and quit.

            If you stay you will have to keep doing terrible things. Shindlers list is a tragedy and part of it was that Shindler was part of the machine.

          valid argument.

          counterpoint, would you feel vindicated if nobody was internally documenting and circumventing the process to ensure that five, not one, 6 years old are terrorized a day?
