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.
Last 30 years of dismantling of civil liberties and it will continue
But at least gays got to marry ✊
“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.[X] Doubt
Lol at the downvotes. Floo is a known troll. They don’t do shit other than go on the Internet.
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.
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

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.
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.
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.
What if you don’t have social media accounts?
Right away, jail!
That’s even worse.
“quite suspicous what do you have to hide?” and then they smack you with batons arrest you and put you in jail with gang members muders and every evil and vile person
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.
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
Imagine handing over a Hexbear username, lol
Good luck. NYS couldn’t even keep track of this requirement just for CCW permits.
Here officer my username is ifuckyourmum69
“Have you ever attempted to overthrow a government by force or violence?”
Non-Citizen MAGAt: sweats profusely
“Why? Is the CIA hiring?”
No, we were actually liberating it from oppression.
I don’t think that matters.
It doesn’t matter if you are trying to overthrow, say a US Adversary like Russia or China, its still counts. I guess the logic is: If you are willing to use violence in [Insert Country Here], how do we know you wont try it here?
A lot of the initial supporters of a revolution/coup gets purged so they don’t become a threat to the new authority themselves. Like hitler and the S.A. for example.
MAGAt supporters are just useful idiots, if they successfully fully take over, those same supporters now become the new threat that needs to be purged.
if they successfully fully take over, those same supporters now become the new threat
Quite a few of the current crop of deputized ICE agents are MAGA goons from four years ago. So long as you’re actively doing the gruesome work of ethnic cleansing, you’ll be given a pass.
Lol, now even the dumbest asshole should understand that they should cancle their US vacation…
This is kind of stupid. I don’t even remember social media tags I’ve used. Who would want to go through this shit to get into redneckville?
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.
This is stupid. This will not stop spies and terrorists, they will just create fake accounts. This will only hurt legitimate immigrants.
This is for non immigrant visas it says
What I said can be applied to any type of visa. The policy is not going to fix anything, it’s only going to invade peoples privacy and turn away legitimate visa applicants.
