    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.

        How many times do you think we could get away with accidentally tasting our co workers?

        Edit: Or Tasing them, I guess one could try tasting them though. Might throw them off hurting immigrants for a minute.

      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?
