  • Community leaders are demanding information on her whereabouts and access to an attorney, stating outrage over her detention.
  • Calderon was able to make a phone call, indicating she is in an unknown warehouse with many others, and believes her captors are bounty hunters.

    Imma just drop this here for a reminder that these people are probably paid by Agent Orange and his diaper assistants:

    Nazis Paid Bounty Hunters to Turn In Jews, Book Says

    “Dutch bounty hunters in the pay of the Nazis captured thousands of Dutch men, women and children during World War II and sent them to their deaths in concentration camps, a new book says.”

      history sanitizes these assholes as “collaborators”. and then talks about people that did the nazis’ laundry. or worked in the brewhouse or maybe helped with local councils or something, as if the launderer and wait staff really had a choice, or there weren’t gangs actively helping with the hunt.

        If you’re from the Netherlands, born at least 30 years ago then there is nothing sanitizing about the word “collaborator”, that’s reserved for the lowest of the low

        Idk if calling someone a collaborator can be considered sanitizing, collaborators have a horrible reputation for good reason.

        There were definitely people at the start of the Nazi regime who agreed with Hitler and his way of thinking enough to voluntarily join in/accept payment for acts like this. I am merely highlighting that history has a tendency to repeat itself… get ready for Shitler to force people into doing his bidding when enough people decide they won’t act on their own accord

          Yes. I totally agree.

          guess my point is that the ICE agents need to look at what happened to collaborators after the nazis were removed. it’s not going to end well for them.

            Unless they win. Plenty of awful people have been on the right side of history and been written as heroes. Look at how American schools spun Columbus until very recently

              The end of facism is always the same. Eventually the regime falls and these clowns get what’s coming to them. It’s not an ‘if’, it’s a ‘when’.

              They might win tomorrow. They might win next week, ext year. But they’ll lose.

              All it takes is one fire to get out of control, and there are dozens of fires burning. Potentially hundreds. All it takes is one loss and we start winning. And they will lose.

              Time is not on their side.

            I live in hope that one day, and sooner than it took mopping up the Nazi collaborators, all of these people will be jailed or worse.

          Let’s not forget the realities of capitalism. When money rules our societies, and when money can buy you literally anything, you will always be able to incentivize people to do anything at all.

          I think humans are inherently moral creatures, but if you put them under artificial constraints like economic scarcity, or in prison camps, or otherwise force them to survive under some level of duress, they will always do what they need to to survive.

          Combine that with powerful national rhetoric and uniformed men with guns telling you what is right and tell you what to do and we’re beyond the concept of free will underpinning the foundations of morality.

          Just see the Milgram experiment.

          The human mind is supremely easy to manipulate.
