Why would you bother burning the GOP HQ because of ICE? Not that I would condone it, but I'd probably write something like, "When fascism comes to America, it will be carrying a cross and wrapped in a flag". Plus, ICE is operating more the the SS than the KKK. SS was a legal government organization that systematically persecuted the state's enemies using brutal tactics and complete disregard of human rights to get results. KKK is just a bunch racist beerbellied 'good ol boys' who are worried that black men are going woo all their eligible sisters. Anyone actually frustrated enough with the situation to set fire to a building wouldn't spray paint such a silly miscomparison. permalink fedilink source parent [–] taxiiiii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Why would using one be an issue though? If the stencil is disposed afterwards, I don't see an issue. permalink fedilink source parent [–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children) That's a crime in and of itself.

I won't buy 7 unless the Steam reviews greatly improve with updates. It sounds unfinished, and probably you'll have to pay hundreds to get all the DLC to finish it.
