ICE is racist, fascist, lawless, and running concentration camps

“One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This”

Yes. Also brings to mind a movie I’ve mentioned before.

La Grande Vadrouille (France, 1966). Literally means “The Big Stroll” but released in English territories with the title “Don’t Look Now, We’re Being Shot At” to emphasize the fact that it’s a comedy. Very entertaining (it was the highest grossing movie in France for years, and an enduring much-watched favorite), and also very interesting to see how France used film to process the trauma of its occupation. Tells the story of an English bomber crew that gets lost and crashes in occupied Paris, and which then has to rely on the help of ordinary French citizens to escape German-controlled territory. A very broad comedy, where the French are plucky and courageous and the Germans are boors and buffoons. Most interesting for its insight into national mythmaking; every single French person the British airmen encounter is willing and happy to help resist the Germans (no Vichy loyalists here!).

If the United States somehow manages to pull through this dark period, it will make celebratory movies like the above about how absolutely everyone opposed ICE and heroically hid nonwhite people from the racist thugs. And there will be no civilian collaborators.
