    The US is not safe to travel to and you do not have a legitimate reason to travel there now. Keep this in your mind regardless of what reason you think contradicts this. It is not safe.

        I don’t know about pain, but the hard way really is the best teacher. People can tell you things until they are blue in the face, you’ll shrug, and when the time comes you may find out what they were talking about. But it will only make sense at that point! Sometimes it can go another way. Sometimes.

      I have a friend who’s going there this weekend. Landing in Orlando, and will be driving to LA. I told him to be very careful!

        The key word is “travel” thus excluding you and your family from the warning. Now go fix your shit instead of crying to someone who cannot.

          But if I leave the country for any reason I have to come back. So then I have to travel into the country.

          Also that’s kind of an aggressive response for what I meant to be kind of a jokey comment?

            You don’t, and that has nothing to do with traveling to the US from another country, so that is why you get the “aggressive” response because I am tired of Americans chiming in with “Jokes” when their country is a fucking hell hole that is impacting everyone else.

            Leave, fix your shit, or stop crying to people negatively impacted by your people without adding anything meaningful to the conversation.

              Go through my post history. I’m literally an anarchist. I literally hate America and I literally want to abolish it. I am perfectly aware of how disgusting American influence is on the world—that’s why I’m making jokes about it. Joking about it is how some people cope with the crushing reality of capitalism. And honestly I thought these two comments were kinda tame.

                You literally aren’t an Anarchist because you are literally living under the boot of a dictatorship. You likely wouldn’t survive an anarchist society, but you will grow out of that idea eventually I am sure.

                  No that’s not how it works. Anarchists are people who advocate for the abolition of all authorities and hierarchies, including but not limited to the State, capitalism, xenophobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, etc. You don’t have to currently live in an anarchist society to be an anarchist.

                  You likely wouldn’t survive an anarchist society, but you will grow out of that idea eventually I am sure.

                  Well no I wouldn’t survive because everyone dies 😆. But I wouldn’t advocate for anarchism if I thought I was going to have a bad time.

                  But I want to gently push back against the “Mad Max” notion of “anarchy” that I think you’re working with. Most forms of anarchism actually call for people to work together, to form groups to get stuff done but without the violence inherent in the State and the inequalities of capitalism that States inevitably reinforce.

                  For more information, see Section A.1 of the Anarchist FAQ.

    Well I for one find this claim entirely credible (unfortunately).

    Also, more JD Vance memes! Yay Streisand effect!

    If I just delete all social media apps from my phone and pretend I don’t have any social media accounts would these facist dumb fucks even know or would that seem suspicious?, I could just buy an extra phone but that seems a bit unnecessary

        What a fucking shit hole this country has become that I have to jump through all these hoops just to travel, it wasn’t this draconic even after 9/11 but racist losers had to own the libs I guess

    So are they also going to detain and strip search the owners of any website hosting similar images? Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg.
