    Why is US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement even going to provide security for a sports event in another country, anyway? It seems bizarrely out of scope.

    You mean the country that invented fascism doesn’t see the problem with ICE?

        I see “Mussolini” and “buon politico” and feel like I can piece enough together.

      To be fair, the SS used IBM and cocaine to achieve levels of efficiency that ICE can only dream of. ICE is using hallucinating LLMs and Sudafed, clearly.

      And even if it wasn’t, when the SS is what first comes to mind when thinking “who is worse than ICE?”, that’s already enough of a problem on its own.

    I mean Italy has always viewed the SS in positive light, so makes sense they view ICE the same way

      That seems like quite a generalization to make. Care to elaborate?

        Italy and Germany were allies during world war two. The word fascism was coined by Mussolini, an Italian. So making a joke referencing something based on history. And right now their stance is if not similar its rhyming.

    It is like the SS are coming.

    I’ve taken to calling them ICEatzgruppen.

      It’s like the sa are coming. The ss were a military company, the sa were political police.

        And einsatzgruppen were the extermination specialists of the SS. Considering the summary executions they’ve started to get enthusiastic about… well, you connect the dots/
