I wish I could call from a US number, or something, so we can flood the real tip lines with false information.

@futurebird some humans set a pretty low bar for what could be considered conscious thought
@ignova @futurebird "humans"? They are MAGAts.

The death in Ben Palmers eyes. Several years ago this guy realized he can pretend to be "official" accounts for a laugh and this is where he's ended up. -
Is not like they call in, crying and in distress having been menaced by some horrible gang— no it’s a literal child trying their best to learn the damn alphabet— and this lady is like “oh he’s kinda different better call the government”
I listened to the first half of this, and the caller used school resources to look up the ethnicities of the child's parents so she could report them. Don't report any data to school!

We Germans remember very well, how those people sound, when fascism is over.
"Nobody knew, what they were doing."
"I've always tried to fight back."
"We had no choice, but obey."
"But he promised more, better jobs."
etc.The same we still hear from communist collaborators from eastern Germany.
Mark my words, this is, what you'll hear as well. It's always the same, no matter which color the oppressor uses as justification.

Yes, and then she's hypersensitive to the perceived sarcasm towards herself... Racist bigot. She should not be allowed anywhere near children.

Horrifying, horrifying
It's so difficult to understand what is driving someone like this. How was it harming her life or anyone's life that the child's parents were in the same country as her?
@FediThing @futurebird It's the idea that because they're here "illegally", she thinks that they and their child are "undeserving" -- note her "taking up resources from the county" line.
She's one of those people that think that educating a child is an "expense" rather than an investment.

@futurebird I won’t watch the video for my own MH today, but some “regular” people have such capacity for evil, and even more when they can be anonymous.
I remember about 10 years ago when I was with some neighbors and they were all banging on about immigrants this and immigrants that. I said “I’m an immigrant” and they said, oh, not you. I’m white. I knew exactly what they meant by that, and I knew they couldn’t be trusted.

@futurebird I can just imagine what spurred on this teacher to do this, it wasn't her rigid application of the law or her moral obligation. It was something even more simple... like she seen the mother or father turn up in a car that she couldn't afford or else she seen the child get better care taken of than she ever got. Envy is a powerful motivator on the weak minded and insecure.

Or maybe we keep calling them monsters, because that's what they are. We *couldn't* be them, we *wouldn't* try to have a pre-school child deported. We shouldn't tolerate their poison amongst us.
We just have to recalibrate our intuition about how many monsters there are, is all. Just because they do normal jobs and wear a normal face doesn't mean they are us.
@petealexharris @futurebird The monsters are humans, and we are *not* better than they are. That is my point.
They come from among us, they have been raised in our societies, they are monsters of our own making. -

@futurebird I also an choosing not to watch for now but I'm curious if anyone knows whether that teacher was reported to their school district.

@futurebird is this real? I don’t want to criticise good work, but the audio quality is so high, is it really a call? Are people really this horrid??

The sarcasm was very slight, he just repeated her words, she knew it was terrible. It is terrible -

@futurebird it's things like these that make me despise our species. I mean seriously
. Can you imagine a gazelle in Tanzania calling a lion hotline saying "can you go eat this gazelle", it has a kid but I don't think it's from here. I think it crossed from Kenya. I don't like it.

@futurebird this is a fantastic example of the conservative imperative: people "belong" in specific places - literally and figuratively.
Being "out of place" is the worst sin. It must be stopped at all cost.
It's also why they disdain empathy and harm mitigation. Punishment is what keeps people in line.

Oh by the way, this is what the rest of the world thinks ALL Usonians are like...
it only took 250 years (for people in the us) to notice.
