    Politifact fact check

    Border guards are using whips against Haitian migrants

    ❌ This claim is rated FALSE

    On September 21, 2021, a viral tweet started going around claiming the border guards had deployed whips to keep the unruly Haitian migrants in line. However, upon further investigation, this claim is found to be false, since whips are specifically manufactured to be used against humans and animals. The instruments used by border guards are not specifically manufactured for this purpose, and so not cannot accurately be called "whips." "Cords" would be a more accurate name. And so the claim that border guards are using whips is not entirely accurate.

        They don't care. Next year they will still say kids in cages because Trump is worse. The imperial citizens caught in the death spiral will go down with the ship before doing even a shred of self-crit.

        We should have abandoned trying to convince liberals fucking years ago but here we are. No collaboration with social fascists is objectively the correct take.

      You just reminded me of the time my Dad took me to a Focus on the Family conference on raising your child to be a Real Man and they sold him a hard plastic strap that he used to “discipline” me because I was getting too big to be sufficiently terrified of regular spanking. They specifically sold the straps (which were about 18” long and made of some kind of hard rubber) as just a practical tool for training a child and emphasized that they were not something “that could be considered abusive” like a whip or cane.

    You know I remember fellow leftists (not from here) saying that Biden would be a time to stop the clock on fascism. I know that once 2024 gets here, people will start falling into the same line of thinking because suddenly it's urgent and they're just trying to rationalize a silly choice they're making. But goddamn if you people don't remember this shit in two years idk what to say. The next, very gross, step is "Okay so ICE whipped them around under Biden but Trump's ICE will do worse." For some reason we have to treat all this shit as discrete events with no connection with one another. If Trump's ICE does worse it's because Biden's ICE (same agency and staff btw) did this. When Biden fails to reign them in and reduce the department's activity, that's just enabling Trump/Republicans to do worse next time. Yet voters will treat the issue as it's own thing, disconnected from any context or history.

        I remember telling people at the time that Bernie was the harm reduction candidate and not Biden. Of course the actual leftist candidate was :gloria-rap: but if we had to have capitalism, at least Bernie could have pushed back on it somewhat.

      Biden is fascism. Fascism doesn't mean "oh he's really racist" or "he violates norms" or this other optics crap. Fascism is a state-corporate alliance that attempts to mediate class conflict by encouraging class collaboration instead.

    I keep seeing people say that it's the horses reins that we're seeing, and not a whip. Now I know very little about horses but that seems like a long fucking rein; they don't have to carry a bull whip to whip someone either.

    But my truly favorite part of this are the libs who either straight up ignore reality or the people who are amazed that border patrol or especially the rangers would use overwhelming brutal force against civilians. Like, that's what they've always done guy, doesn't matter who's in the white house.

      i used to ride and our reins weren't that long, but i was taught the tight and light english-style and not the lazy asshole western-style, with the split reigns / one-hander bullshit and heavy, thick saddles for noobs and apparently mounted pigs, because of course why wouldn't they make the horse do all the work.

      I'm also not american, but there is a thing literally called a long rein which could easily be that long, but they're for teaching horses how to pull carts and are only used while not actually on the horse's back. They're pretty rare even out here where some people still do cart-driving, so i see absolutely no reason why border police of all people would have them, certainly not while riding normally.

        Ah ok. It makes perfect sense for border patrol to have them then; you get a whip without it being an actual whip and then you get to call people who don't know what a long rein is coastal elitist libs. Win win.

    "I don't think anyone seeing that footage would think it was acceptable or appropriate," White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters.

    "I don't have the full context. I can't imagine what context would make that appropriate," she added.

    Look at the way she dances around admitting any responsibility or ability to do something about this. She sounds like a citizen from another country being asked about foreign affairs.

    IT'S YOUR COUNTRY. YOU'RE IN CONTROL OF THIS.

    What I wouldn't give for just one fucking reporter to ask her at a press briefing, "do you have the ability to control the border police?"

      And now the entire conversation is about whether they were "whipping people" instead of it being about these border patrol guys on horseback trying to grab Haitian refugees who they're going to deport.
