Adventures in the Patriarchy™: Anti-ICE Karens Gone Wild! Part VI

Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — inclusively defined as the legacy kind and the transgender individuals — from the Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.

Now, granted, this is clearly a formidable lesbian with a build like Rosie O’Donnell on the juice, but we’re talking about a 7,000-pound diesel-powered Chevy 5500 with a high-strength steel chassis.

As with the last visibly out-of-shape anti-ICE Karen to take on an ICE vehicle while running backwards, which we covered in a prior segment, you have to give credit where it’s due: these individuals exhibit unexpected levels of athletic prowess.

Anti-ICE Karen performance art

This ginger Karen — sporting, of course, as the dress code requires, a septum piercing — paints “ICE” with a strikethrough like a no-smoking sign over her mouth, overlaid with the audio of the Renee Good shooting, and cries performatively for the camera with the caption “I can’t unhear the sound of the car crashing after the gun shots.”

What is the symbolism here?

Is she suggesting that ICE or the government more broadly is censoring criticism?

The thousands of TikTok videos from her comrades and the nonstop agitprop from the legacy corporate media would suggest otherwise.

As with the anti-ICE Karens we covered yesterday, who turned up at a protest to LARP as oppressed female characters from “The Handmaid’s Tale,” there seems to be some discomfiting fetishistic element to the performance art here.

This Karen took a time-out from verbally abusing ICE officers to actually have a conversation with one, a black gentleman whom, the camera would seem to convey, she immediately fell in love with.

This is obviously a moving human moment in an otherwise acrimonious, adversarial showdown between federal law enforcement and feminist heroines, but let’s be honest: the only reason this anti-ICE Karen considered stopping hurling invective at him long enough to have a conversation in the first place is because he’s black.

BIPOC law enforcement, like other anomalies that don’t comport with their worldview, sort of short-circuits the Karen brain, unable to compute that there might be an ethnic who believes in border security, and renders it temporarily unable to carry out its function of screaming obscenities at evil white men oppressing minorities with badges and guns.

Joy Reid: White women must use their ‘white privilege’ to protest ICE, ‘which is what we ask them to do’  

Joy’s lard-butt isn’t going to be out there at any protests, of course; it’s much too cold, and she’s much too important to deign to agitate on the ground with the rabble.

Directing the circus from the comfort of her podcast studio suits her just fine.

Who has more “privilege,” if we must use their terminology: a random, unknown middle-class white woman in Minneapolis or a BIPOC multi-millionaire corporate state media diva with an extremely high national profile and the patronage of her good friend and cable news’ top lesbian enforcer, Rachel Maddow?

Whose sacrificial death would be likelier to garner more attention or generate more fodder for the ¡lItEraL FaSCisM! narrative?
