This is the real point of all of this.

Trump and his fascist coattail-riders really couldn't care less about undocumented immigrants. The goal of all of this is simply to make one subset of the proletariat hate another subset of the proletariat, to foment suspicion and distrust, and to condition people to report each other to the authorities.

After calling ever stripe of Latino rapists, murderers, and criminals, often and loudly, for the last 8 years, more American Latinos voted for Donald Trump in this last election than have ever voted for any Republican candidate in US history.

[–] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

But they aren't the immigrants he was talking about, they're the good ones.

The ruling class must always give the working class someone to blame. The others. The others should never be part of the ruling class. Those who are suffering must be able to punch down.

I have many students who don’t even speak English and they are in 10th-11th grade

I wonder how many do speak english and were just trolling him because he’s a substitute.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 68 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Or trolling him because he's a racist arsehole

Lol. Peggy would never call ICE.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 38 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

ICE comes into Peggy's class, "What are you doing?

ICE: "We're here to take in the children of illegal immigrants"

Peggy: "Eschua me, I am in the middle of class here"

ICE: "Ma'am, step aside"

Principal Moss: "Com'on Peggy, these men here have a job to do"

Peggy: "Well if you want to deport these kids, you'll have to take me with you"

Gets deported to Mexico because ICE dgaf

Peggy (on phone to Hank): "Hannnnkkk! I've been deported to Mexico!"

Hank: BWAGGGGHHH

Cuts to commercial

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

I'd watch that.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 14 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Definitely not, lol. Just saw "substitute teacher" and "Texas" and first thing that popped into mind.

[–] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 3 weeks ago

Escucha me, that is 3 time substitute teacher of the year, Peggy Hill.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Your handle/avatar is awesome.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

If I may add, the person behind it is even awesome-r 😎

[–] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 5 points 3 weeks ago

we were right about them all along

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 53 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The educator’s identity has not yet been revealed.

I believe it has, because he had all of his personal information on his social media accounts.

For the web crawlers: FWISD Business Teacher Jason Buchanan.

I didn’t want to get in trouble lol

[–] WHARRGARBL@lemmy.world 41 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

“I teach with these f**king libt***s every day and that’s what I talk to no one at work except the kids,” the account tweeted.

Lol how’s that substitute only talking to the kids, if the kids don’t speak English?

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 25 points 3 weeks ago

It doesn't sound like this teacher even speaks English.

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 40 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If only there was a way to teach someone English as a foreign language /s

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Whoa pardner, that sound an awful lot like Communism. English cain't never be foreign in 'Murica!

[–] Thistlewick@lemmynsfw.com 34 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

With the stories of schools blocking ICE from entering their property to seize students, I just knew there’d be one rusty fuck that somehow decided to become a teacher while simultaneously having no regard for their students.

[–] ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 3 weeks ago

I hate to tell you, but there will be many more examples of this to come.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

One story and it wasn't ICE, it was the Secret Service. Still never found out why the USSS was there.

[–] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 7 points 3 weeks ago

They were trying to find something to do now they can't get drunk and go to whorehouses on company time any longer (true story)

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Everyone has to stay fake busy in trumps America to avoid getting fired

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I read ICE is under jurisdiction of USSS.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

Afaik, they're not. They both report to DHS.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In any half decent city, that teacher would soon end up hospitalized.

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 16 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't really like implicit calls to violence but I really don't like fascist narcs.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 20 points 3 weeks ago

You can only have so many of the latter before the former become necessary.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We've started talking about how violence is bad only after someone suggested defending ourselves from fascists.

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't spend a lot of time in threads with calls to violence in the comments.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works -2 points 3 weeks ago

You do spend a lot of time equating defense with aggression.

[–] sinkingship@mander.xyz 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In this context ICE stands for "Immigration and Customs Enforcement".

For other like me that only know ICE as an abbreviation for "internal combustion engine".

[–] 474D@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

I know it as really cold water

[–] jagged_circle 12 points 3 weeks ago

Does Luigi go to school there? Cuz that bitch needs stitches

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 11 points 3 weeks ago

I usually sympathize with teachers who want smaller class sizes, but damn…

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 3 weeks ago

And that's how Ms. Doe's car got set on fire. Allegedly.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, Brain Rot is bad but it's not that bad.
