    Truth in advertising.

    Hell, they don’t even think once about doing what’s right. That’s twice as good as the ad says.

    It’s like those scam emails that are obviously fake. The sloppy writing isn’t by mistake. It filters out the people who would question it, leaving only those who don’t read carefully or think critically. What seems like incompetence is the strategy.

    This ad works the same way.

    “Never think twice about doing what’s right” sounds like a call for decisiveness, but it’s a call for impulsivity. If you never think twice, you never pause to consider whether what you’re being asked to do is actually right. You never weigh legality. You never examine morality. You simply obey.

    They’re not looking for people who act ethically. They’re looking for people who won’t question.

    They don’t want judgment. They want compliance.

    If you stopped to think about what this ad implies, you’ve already proven you’re not the kind of person they’re trying to recruit.

    So it looks like they’ll hire just about anyone

    What’s the end goal? Have 99% of the American work force under the DHS?

    And then what?

    If your borders are so tightly controlled, you’re going to turn away enough false positives that everything else will crawl to a halt.

    That’s in an entirely “efficient” scenario.

    You’re hiring people who are desperate for money, i.e. people who are more likely to accept bribes, which just completely undermines this whole stupid system.

    It just seems to me like they’re trying to maximise both bureaucracy and immense cruelty. Am I missing something?

      Historically

      1. Get the brownshirts/sturmabteilung

      2. Kristallnacht and pogrom

      This is the history that ICE rhymes with .

      Correct, it’s that second thought that makes them realize their orders are wrong. They better not think twice if they want to get paid.

    Reddit in 2016: “Facebook has ruined the country. They accepted $25k in ads from Vladimir Putin and totally upended the election.”

    Reddit in 2025:

    Most people here have probably stopped using reddit. Getting most people to stop is so difficult. Not even this would move the needle.
