idk if the “lie” claim is the best language they could have used since there seems to be a few sources supporting it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Winnie-the-Pooh_in_China

that said, obligatory fuck tankies but this is a good meme and fuck ICE.

EDIT CONTEXT: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/06/25/norwegian-tourist-jd-vance-meme/

ICE and CBP claim the guy was denied entry for drug use. I don’t fucking believe them personally after stories like Khaby Lame essentially being forced to self-deport after some racist MAGA kid decided personally getting him deported was a good move.

But u know we all about honesty in this joint so

      … have you known migrants in your country to be privilaged? Usually racists are mad that a bunch of poor people are “coming” to their country, while some migrants are upper class, the majority are not.

        Immigrants, in the modern age, are very much often privileged. Most countries won’t accept unskilled migrants, or the disabled. Yes, they are not usually upper class, but being able to afford university-level education in a lot of places isn’t easy.

        Asylum seekers are the exception there, obviously. THOSE are the ones racist talk about being a “problem” most often, at least in places like Europe and Australia.

        there is an inherent privilege if you’re able to leave.

        not saying you’re rich or powerful. just that there’s indeed a self descriptive privilege if you an escape. unlike those who can’t.
