The White House posted a dehumanizing video Tuesday using the sound of detained immigrants being deported with the caption “ASMR: Illegal Alien Deportation Flight.”

      Hi, friend. Lemmy is diverse, so I understand if English isn’t your first language. The adjective, “despicable,” in the title is affecting the word, “video,” not the word, “deported.”

      While deportations are obviously not inherently immoral, this article is drawing attention to how the White House posted a video, which depicts our fellow human beings who are likely being separated from their families, as an attempt to amuse their base with what they think is humorous. I’m sure we can both agree this is despicable.

        People literally voted for this, I don’t think they find it amusing. If anything, they expected it.

          The chatter I hear around the office would disagree. People got what they voted for, are elated, and laughing.

      Yeah but if they didn’t post it with the word ‘despicable’ , how would they know to react to the emotional blackmail?

      Sticking people in a concentration camp in Guantanamo Bay is not deporting them.

      You shit heads are always just looking for permission to enjoy and inflict suffering.

      But whenever you violate a rule / law / social etiquette and are facing the consequences it’s all crying and tears and hysteria for poor ol you.

      You are all little boys too emotionally and intellectually stunted to ever be men.
