Although he posts conservative memes on X, Dung 'Yo' Thach was nabbed by ICE when he tried to renew his residency in July.

    This isn’t politics, it’s schadenfreude journalism. We shouldn’t get joy from the downfall of a couple who were manipulated by algorithms for profit.

      Educating people about instances of leopards eating faces after a lot of people voted for leopards being set free to do as they like is one of the main jobs of journalism. And it might actually make a few people reconsider their choice, moreso than any other facts about the leopards.

      I don’t feel bad for morons who get duped. I gotta live in this shithole country, so when people get what they actually asked for, I fucking celebrate it.

        You have every right to be angry. Direct that anger at the folks doing the manipulation not the masses falling for it.

          I can be angry at Facebook, which I dumped in 2008, and still feel indifferent towards people who post pro-ICE memes and get deported. These aren’t mutually exclusive things.

          There’s no helping the majority of this country, if I can be blunt about it. I’ve been to 46/50 states, and the sheer volume of cognitive dissonance I’ve come across is just mind boggling. A solid voting half of this country believes that their hate for something is justified until it affects them or someone they personally care about.

          I don’t walk around carrying hate towards strangers, so I’ll just point and laugh when they get delivered the goods that they literally asked for.

          Posting memes, is not “doing the manipulation”? 🤔

    I have pretty much zero sympathy for people like this. Karmic retribution if he actually gets deported.

    Mixed in with motocross and BMX video clips are racist and anti-trans videos and memes.

    Good riddance.
