This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

Vital Shell is a twinstick arena shooter roguelike with PS1 graphics and PS1/N64-era Breakcore on loop which really is like you might as well call it 'Hey Rei, We Know You Have Grad School Documents To Write, We've Decided To Get In the Way of That'

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor
he’s the kind of guy they get training from
the whole institution is rotten, throw it out

Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.
No. ABOLISH ICE.

WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach
KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait
WARNER: Joe! You can't pick your facts

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

They want training to be the last word on it so they can continue deportations in the next presidency while also having ICE agents do ted talks about having depression and handing out fliers at pride

Radical Boy in the back wearing a backwards pink baseball cap and neon green sunglasses: 'P'Zone'

The sick-nasty popularity of the word 'zone' in the 90s was the foot in the door they needed here
Pizza Hut Calizza (1986-circa 1988): Golden brown pockets of dough filled with either Five Cheese blend or Italian Sausage/Cheese, and served with a side of tomato sauce and parmesan. This was the Hut's first attempt at presenting a calzone to the masses (which they called "an Italian turnover")
