I don't think the majority of Americans bought the DMW bullshit back then either, but the war happened anyways because those in power wanted/let it happen. The people didn't have a say in it.
Planetside never needed this, you can ram to kill, from the ground or air. Kind of a lazy solution isn't it? Why not give players the means to fight back or deter instead?
People - citizens, visitors from Canada and Europe and children - being arrested, kidnapped, hurt and shipped to prison, in random countries, without warrants, agents identification or even uniform, without due process. Students with greencards and all the paperwork being silenced for protesting, intimidation in the streets and at work for people that look like unlawful immigrants.
But it's fine, it's just immigrants getting their comeupins, right? If you are an American, you're safe, none of that can happen to you or your family, just other people that deserve this type of unconstitutional treatment...
It's got little to do with immigration; it's about ICE and the government illegally arresting, hurting and dissapearing people, including citizens and children, without due process.
While you are correct with all that, I would argue it's not like paying half of all I have. Say your 20k is after 33% tax, that'd be 30k before taxes, our of the 50k I did my original math with.
It's be like paying 30$ then, plus the "I'm rich and greedy so it hurts", say 1k of physocological damage... Still a very small portion of what I have.
Hell, just in insurance, I'm paying way more than that every year!
The drawing in question, for which people are being arrested and others calling for violence and revenge:
