America is such a fucking joke it’s no longer funny. I wish we could isolate the rest of the world from your madness but unfortunately we can’t.
Yeah, keeping our shit to ourselves has never really been our strong suit.
Sorry :(
As a Middle Easterner, I genuinely feel sorry for the non maga Americans, but unfortunately that’s your fight to fight.
Good luck.
And fight we do. I’ve considered myself an activist for almost 30 years now. I thought fighting for marriage equality was gonna be hard. I’m really not looking forward to this.
The comments are ridiculous.
People: if ThE cOuNTry sUcks, wHy doN’T aMeRiCAns dO anYthiNG aBOut iT?
Also people: LoL siLLy aMeRiCAn, AcTiviSm doESn’T wOrk
We’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t. Keep fighting the good fight. You’ve got a good decade on me, but I see you and I’m right there with you. ✊
[X] Doubt
“And fight we do” LOL
Unleash the devastating power of the Kumbaya warchant on your little stroll to the streets!
The regime will crumble before your eyes.Last 30 years of dismantling of civil liberties and it will continue
But at least gays got to marry ✊
That’s 5% max.
The Blue MAGA are just as bad for the world, they only cry now bcs they’re getting a taste of their own shit domestically.Depending on where you live in the world America has been pretty bad for a pretty long time. But I agree under this new technofascist oligarchy it will become a nightmare
For much of the world, it was already a nightmare
As a Native American this attitude would be a lot more understandable and palatable if America wasn’t colonized…
I totally understand your sentiment. Undoubtedly the USA is built on stolen land, much like Israel.
All of history is one people taking over another peoples land. I’m not saying its right, but in virtually any part of the world there is a history of some invader or colonizer coming in and displacing or swallowing up the existing people, probably multiple times, down through prehistory as well.
and there are no illegals on stolen land.

These immigration raids and terror tactics are terrible on their own, but it’s especially absurd when Native Americans get caught up in it, and it just fully exposes how disingenuous and transparently racist the whole effort is. So I’m sorry that your peoples have to suffer even more because of this racist mindset.
From a January article:
”If you can’t say, ‘we’ve been here for time immemorial,’ then you’re an immigrant. You’re not from here, so who are you to classify our Indigenous people? These lands have been a melting pot for many ethnicities,” Hatathlie [a Native Arizona state Senator] said.
I heard another more recent example of a car full of Native Americans being pulled over, aggressively questioned, and asked for their papers, but I can’t seem to find it. It’s utterly shameful how we treat people.
Can the native Americans just kill the leader of the colonizing force?
People want to immigrate to the USA still? Bizarre.
There are still countries even worse than the US.
And I think you’re underestimating the strength of an immigrant’s will to take risks to attempt to find a better life. Immigrants have suffered far worse throught US History.
I mean, just take a look at Wong Kim Ark. Dude didn’t just give up and leave, he stood his ground and fought though it, even though he had no idea if the US would even consider his case seriously.
And many people already have relatives in the US. So these are the risks they are willing to take to reunite. Unlike many westerners, who just completely give up on the slightest obstacles.
(Although I do think the much better option now is the EU, if they don’t have any relatives in the US already.)
You can need a visa for tourism.
People want to travel to the USA still? Bizarre.
I haven’t get my #viss, but since last year I was thinking about it. With these news and for what you see from the #USA, there is no way that I’ll throw myself into that humilliation
Of course, how would they know if you don’t list any? Oh, that’s right, PRISM. Fully expect that people who don’t have social media accounts to get accused of having them simply because someone else shares the same name and did say First Amendment protected stuff, like Donald Trump is a terrible fucking president and should be impeached.
Sorry person with the last name Erdude. I guess you aren’t getting into the US now.
I feel like I’m going to be responsible for Trump sending ICE to raid the Shady Pines community event planning committee that picks the color schemes for their weekly card games.
it’s ok. my married name is Erdude but we spell it E’Rdude.
Why does this make me think of Birdcage…
I am a doctor and my professional name is Dr. ER dude.
should be impeached
Impeached and then executed for treason.
Dragged out and gaddafied
I was thinking more of Mussolinied
Seriously, what’s the advantage of having social media? Just seems like a liability with every account.
If you don’t have social media you must be “hiding” something and will be denied entry.
will be denied entry
Source:
look at the news, airhead. They detain tourists and journalists for far less nowadays. Even fucking Senators. What else needs to happen for you to wake up?
Who was denied entry for not having social media?
Make a fake one that posts like… idk post random tech stuff that you could be reasonably interested in. Make nothing critical of authority. As a decoy profile.
Then you can rant about big brother on an anonymous Lemmy Account over TOR.
But a super recent account would be suspicious
You have to do this over a couple years
I can see a black market for decade old “clean” social media accounts to bypass the system lmao
Finally a killer app for AI. Create social media profiles and use AI agents to populate them with bland uncontroversial drivel.
and then they check their palantir database and see your lying and throw you in a south american gulag
Ideologically unaligned visitors need not apply. Got to keep America pure, without the pesky freedom of subversive thought.
It’s a chance for
everyonevisitors to practice right think.While looking for a link, I found links that make me think some folks are trying to unironically reclaim the term “right think”. Gross.
Too many people aren’t reading 1984 anymore, while billionaires thought it was a “how to” guide.
Just don’t wait to ask Grok what it thinks “Right Think” is, as Musk plans for it to rewrite human knowledge and understanding with a new lens. :')
Good thing I delete that crap 10+ years ago. Enjoy the shitty data and memes!
Same, but it worries me that now I look like I’m hiding something.
I guess technically I am hiding something: It’s disdain. Disdain for shitty social media is what I’m hiding.
lmao, their tourism is going to shrivel and die so fast
The attendance for the next FIFA cup was already looking bad, and I can’t imagine the US government wanting your history of online activity to help it even a bit.
I can’t wait to see high attendance in Mexico and Canada-hosted matches, with rock bottom attendance in the US. Even US fans travelling domestically, don’t go, especially to the states that are falling into line with Trump.
Not that it will actually be recognized for what it is. I may put together a bingo card on the ways media spins it.
I’ve been boycotting the world cup for a decade because they can’t stop giving the host status to horrible states
Yeah looking at the attendance for the world club competition is pretty bad.
People should boycott it outright.
The entire event industry is a front for sex trafficking.
Maybe that will finally kill off the giant amorphous blob of human rights violations known as FIFA
The last one was in some barbarian gulf state, now it’s even worse. Fuck FIFA
It already is… Many people from Europe I know, now cancelled their plans.
Here officer my username is ifuckyourmum69
Sure why not, since my name is Anthony O’Neill. You can find my short form username: Anon.
What could they find? I bet I’m save.
I’m betting on the opposite problem,
We show here you’ve been VERY active. Please have a seat in this chair until we come for you.
You can find my short form username: Anon.
What could they find?
Yes, what possible community full of people named “Anon” could they find that would get you in any amount of trouble?
👀
in other news, the market price of hacked credentials for MAGA-friendly social media accounts:

note
in case it is unclear to anyone: the above is a joke.
in all seriousness, renaming someone else’s account and presenting it to CBP as one’s own would be dangerous and inadvisable. a more prudent course of action at this time is to avoid traveling to the united states.
They want to stay by themselves? That’s fine by me. But then they should also stop exporting their Hollywood and streaming turds (as well as their shit food). That would only be fair. And maybe also stop behaving like if they owned the entire planet?
Every social media username? I figure most people are like me and lost most of them.
at this point, these companies would make a buck as lost accounts recovery services.
Oh no, I can’t visit Amerikkkka now
oh no, i now don’t get to spend $200 + travel costs to tramit an american visa 😭
Imagine handing over a Hexbear username, lol
