    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.

      As a Native American this attitude would be a lot more understandable and palatable if America wasn’t colonized…

          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.

      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.

    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.

      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.)

    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

      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.

    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?

      This was explained to me years ago. They don’t give a fuck about what you said. They want you to lie, in case they need to fuck you up. If for some reason they want to screw you, they’ll look for these uids, and if you hadn’t declared, they’ll slap perjury charges on you.

      Exactly, they are talking about dozens of names. Who on earth would remember that, let alone want to share it.
