Fuck ICE
We’re a small community so I don’t expect this to make a big impact, but I firmly believe nowhere on the internet should be safe for these goons to find relaxation. Fuck those clowns, love your neighbors, and stay bitter toward fascism. Love you from the r/amaro gang.

The only ice I like is the kind I pour my Cynar 70 over with a lemon wedge

u/TheCanisDIrus Jan 31 '26
Ok I need to try this. I’ve always drank it neat but chilled and with a bit of lemon sounds delicious!

u/arm2610 Feb 01 '26
Oh yeah it’s delicious! I like drinking Cynar 70 this way because it’s a bit less syrupy than regular Cynar and because of the higher alcohol it doesn’t suffer as much from being a bit watered down. The lemon gives it a little brightness. This is probably my favorite amaro and favorite way to drink it.

Honestly love this. I live in Minneapolis and protest when I can.
It may feel trivial, but the support from random places has actually been incredibly heartwarming.
And if people try to say that this is not the point of this subreddit; you are wrong.

so I travel a fair bit and can certainly navigate my ass through an airport; but man, I asked a fellow in MSP “how far to the car rental?” not like “I’m clueless where’s the car rental?” just how far? and this saint among sinners insists on escorting me like 150 yards, past 2 decision points🫡. Fucking people from Minnesota are some of the nicest, selfless folks you will ever meet on this godforsaken planet!

For the people who see this post and bleat, “Can we just have amaro without politics?”
No.
It’s time to be a fucking adult. Grow up.
Americans are being kidnapped and murdered on our streets by goons building concentration camps. The goons claim a little “office memo” stands above our almighty Constitution. Nope.
That alone should make us all speak out. Conservatives should be leading the pack.
Speaking out is the literal minimum every American should do.
And fuck any traitor who tries to say you shouldn’t exercise your free speech whenever you goddamn please.
If you want to do more, hit the streets with your fellow Americans and call Congress and remind them they are 100% equal power to the president. Then ask them why they’re not doing more.
Ultimately, the moderate approach—moderate—is we take back this amazing but imperfect country to rebuild and hold trials for everyone who broke the Constitution.
And for anyone who still wants to be a whiny little beta cuck watching their country get plowed by a group of armed men? That’s your choice, I guess.
But shut the fuck up while grown folks are talking and enjoy the safety and democracy that real Americans have generously have given you pussies for generations.

By its nature amaro is an in-betweener, assimilated, appropriated, honorable, memorial - of the people and brought by its people across borders throughout history. To fully appreciate amaro one must be anti-ICE and all it stands for.

I’ll be honest, this thread here in this little of corner of Reddit warmed my heart today. Part of my horror these past few weeks in watching what’s been happening in Minnesota has been the idea that a healthy number of Americans are totally onboard with what’s been going on. Seeing this thread and the positive reaction to it gives me hope that most, including the many many many who voted for Trump even the second time around, are not cool with where things are headed.
Full disclosure: I’ve never liked Trump, and his second term antagonism towards my country 🇨🇦 has only deepened my dislike for him. But, despite all that, I still could understand why people would support him, I could look beyond my own biases and understand his appeal… but how anyone, no matter where they stand on immigration, could abide what ICE has been doing is beyond me.

I'm glad to see it from this community. Silence is complicity. I'm in a Tequila group on Facebook and I was shocked at all the pro-ICE and anti-immigrant rhetoric and sentiment on there. You're drinking a fucking spirit made in Mexico and you don't give a shit about how people are treated? No thanks.

You should also use some of this energy on genocide israel. You know, the ones who’ve slaughtered and maimed tens of thousands of children, and who train ICE on all their tactics. None of this is happening in isolation. What you’re ok with happening abroad eventually comes back to bite you at home.

u/ouchouchdangit Jan 31 '26 edited Jan 31 '26
I agree and I do. I also think it’s more likely that ICE agents lurk here than the Israeli military (though I could be wrong), and it’s important that they know they aren’t welcome here.

u/Coin247 Feb 01 '26
Nah I love Israel as I support indigenous people worldwide. There is no genocide, just people like you who use the term as slander, with no basis. Shame on you.
Israel is a great country that has contributed much to the world in the form of technology, science, medicine, etc.
It is a country where its citizens, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, etc, enjoy the same rights, even though ignorant people like you will claim apartheid.
You have no basis for your slurs. Go ahead and prove me wrong.

A modern day Gestapo type “law enforcement” agency being wielded by americas president. They are masked thugs, lacking any identification, roaming the streets of American cities in unmarked cars killing our citizens in broad daylight, and ignoring the laws and founding documents of our nation with impunity.
All under the guise of “immigration enforcement”. They are busting into people houses without warrants, and detaining citizens because of the color of their skin, or having an accent, even when provided with paperwork to prove citizenship.
They are now so well funded if they were a separate nation they would be better funded than all but the 16 countries militaries on the planet.

As a Canadian observing what is happening, I cannot imagine defending illegal aliens that are being deported because they have committed crimes in the country that they entered illegally. As for the two people who got themselves killed, that was a case of FAFO. You cannot behave recklessly against armed authorities, and expect it to end well. I say fuck criminals from foreign countries, and fuck stupid people. I wouldn't want either as my neighbor.
Now, back to enjoying some nice homemade Amari!

u/ouchouchdangit Feb 01 '26
Man, this is sad to see from you. Especially because you’re operating on terrible information. No one is saying don’t deport people who are committing crimes domestically. But those people make up so few of the targets compared to how many American citizens are being detained for just LOOKING like they’re from another country. And as far as FAFO, that’s so insane and cruel to say. A group of agents subdued a man and then still shot him dead. They’re ramming the cars of people who are parked on the side of the street filming them. I don’t know what news you follow, but it is fully detached from reality.

We are way, WAY beyond “politics” here, citizen. “Politics” is “I think the rich should/shouldn’t be taxed at a higher rate” or “I think farm subsidies are too much/not enough” or “we should/shouldn’t be working toward independence from fossil fuels.” THAT’s “politics.” Masked, untrained, murderous goons murdering American citizens on their streets with the full approval of the executive branch should be abhorrent to any alleged “real American” and should be a reason to shun and shame anyone else who approves of it. Fascism should never be a valid “political” stance in a constitutional democracy.

I have such mixed feelings on your comment. I totally get it buddy, it gets exhausting. But on the flip side, we are in scary uncertain times and maybe that means we try to sway minds wherever we can. But I hear you on that. But also fuck ice.

u/zymurgtechnician Jan 31 '26 edited Jan 31 '26
I heard it put well the other day, partisan politics does not need to invade every space. Partisan politics is a team sport, and has been wrongfully equated with the broad nature of politics in general. Life itself is political in nature. There is no facet of our life, or our environment, that is not enchanced, restricted, shaped, impacted, suppressed or changed in some way by politics.
It is a cop out of our duties and responsibilities as citizens to pretend like we can ignore politics because we don’t like them as though it were the same as saying “I don’t like sports”. Many people in the last few decades have been privileged enough that they could ignore politics, not vote, not have an opinion, and their life got on pretty well.
Well those days are gone, in no small part because of those who chose to be oblivious. Inaction is a choice, silence is complicity, ignorance is inexcusable. We do not get to sit out politics, in the same way as we do not get to sit out life.
Just because some of us may ignore politics, doesn’t change the fact that their lives are shaped by it. Unfortunately sometimes people’s lives are needlessly ended because of it. We must all be adults and take a stand, use our voice, and participate in our democracies in every way we can, or we are all at risk of losing everything.

No. You can't. Nazis have taken over. People are being shot in the streets for doing the work that you won't. I'm sorry your precious little hobby can't remain without "the garbage of politics infiltrating" it, but maybe it'll wake you up to the fact that EVERYTHING is political, and some people, in fact most people on this planet don't have the luxury of ignoring it.

u/SpiralMantis113 Jan 31 '26
You should probably take this as a sign of just how bad the situation is in your country. If you go too far down the road that you are asking for you will end up with the sort of depoliticised population that Putin has nurtured in Russia - "As long as what the government does isn't directly affecting me personally, then I don't want to think about or acknowledge it." You have to confront these issues early and confront them hard or you will be lost.

I get the desire to have a place where we don’t want to be overwhelmed with politics. I really do, but it’s just as important to know that online spaces where you want to go just to are actually safe places without Nazis crawling around in them. I don’t think we need to post about it every day, but one post confirming that this is a place that won’t cater to horrible people is worthwhile.
