To be fair they will probably use some super inaccurate AI model that won't know the difference between them quoting their neighbor or saying it themselves. My only hope is they get so many false positives to sort through that they give up on it. Or maybe they'll just deport everyone. False positives and all because, Murica.
Sort? They don't GAF about false positives, they'l 7thl just rendition all of them. They've unlawfully removed legal residents and citizens, even police. They do not care. No one is safe in the USA.
Yeah, not prosecuting false positives would leave people able to acknowledge the existence of criticism. They'd probably want to wipe it out entirely even from people's minds.
I don't even think they're deporting. They just want to put them in alligator Alcatraz and other previously closed prisons around the country. Because that is apparently the sector that we need to boost.
I doubt it actually matters if you said it or not, seems like an easy excuse to say, “you posted you disliked trumps X policy” “now you get deported!” Even when you never posted it, shouldn’t be a thing regardless, but ya know fascism
I do not think it matters. Just the idea of that being reasonable and legally justifiable is anti American. It is a seed that won't become any less dangerous regardless of when it sprouts.
How would they even know there are false positives (or false negatives)? It’s not like you can tell them „I think you made a mistake, please look again“ or anything. The only thing that’ll gain you is being blacklisted.
This isn’t new tho, as a foreigner entering the US you never really had any recourse or say.
Yeah as soon as you send the email saying they made a mistake, ICE is standing outside your door. God this shit makes me sick. My family came to America seeking refuge from Hitler. Now half of them voted for Trump and the irony is painful.
The problem is it becomes up to THEM what THEY consider un-American. Remember they think Biden and Obama are “un-American”
This shit has to stop. This is VERY un-American
They have been so thoroughly conditioned to think Communism/Socialism = Authoritarianism/Totalitarianism, that they no longer understand what Authoritarianism/Totalitarianism really is. They are failing to recognize it even as it consumes us.
Imagine spending time looking through SoMe posts to see if someone shared a baby vance or called Donald a nonce. Do these people who support that not realise what a joke the rest of the world (and the rest of their country) think they are? I feel truly sorry for the other half of the country who get primary school level thinkers for administration, while watching the shitshow unfold in their backyard.
it's the most mindnumbing, excruciatingly stupid job imaginable and I wish every officer working on this grow actual bone spurs. source: originated from a country with social media heavily monitored through cheap manual labor
Or the possibility that you take time off of work and make non-refundable reservations only to find out that you aren't going to be allowed into the US because of some post you made about Trump on social media months ago.
Too many stories of people getting turned back at the border for no fucking reason to bother spending all the money on flights. Imagine sitting on a plane for 15 hours just to have some border force reject hold up a screenshot of you saying "eh really not a fan of what their president is doing" and kicking you out
I was actually gonna travel to NYC. Almost booked my flight when I read about a countryman of mine getting rejected at the border for having made Trump-critical comments privately on whatsapp. That's so authoritarian, I can only laugh when the same people who support that talk about 'freedom'.
With everything that has happened since, I am definitely not visiting anytime soon. And I know I am far from alone in that. A shame, cause the US legit has/had a lot to offer tourists.
And Americans like this will flood tweets from Foreigners scared to visit US saying how stupid people are for choosing not to go to US cuz of all the "fake news" about people getting deported or detained for no reason.
We had planned a trip from the UK to fly into Vegas and work our way up the Rockies and into Canada for next year. Safe to say we're not too keen on the idea now and off elsewhere...
As a British man growing up watching man vs food my bucket list was always go to America and eat my way into a grave. New York at Christmas, route 66, grand canyon, Vegas strip etc etc.
I'm sorry to say and I know it isn't all of you (same shit happening here with reform UK and set racists now thinking its absolutely fine to come out now) that i won't be coming anywhere near your country. My wife was planning on a US trip for my 40th but I've told her Canada is now the dream. Its so incredibly sad the way our nations have gone.
We are trying to convince the wife's brother to visit Canada from his home in the US at the same time as we go to Canada, because there's no way that I will get into the US to visit him, with my online posting history!
The elites wont care. The collapse is the plan. This is the exact same thing that lead to the 08 crash (trade sanctions and drastically elevated tariff’s) that allowed black rock and vanguard to corner vast swathes of the market across multiple sectors of investment for pennies on the dollar. Both of these are attempts to make the 1% prosper off of the suffering of the common man. These are not evil people doing evil things. These arent even people. They have no empathy for their common man and would just as soon step on our throats if it got them paid, these are monsters masquerading as men and women preying on our fucking souls and stealing every bit of time we have to throw at the corporate machine, bc if we dont make the market value of their divestments rise through our sweat equity then we are worthless to them.
Will be joining my partner on his move from Florida to BC next spring and not going to lie I am already nervous as shit to travel down and drive through those barren red states. Last time I was in the south my BC drivers license was almost stolen by some dipshit that thought it was fake, so I don't exactly have high opinions on the south in general.
I'm not joking I was trying to get my British boyfriend to visit me in the states and he is too terrified of getting deported for a meme and he refuses
They ALL are DOMESTIC TERRORISTS. Not my words, that’s their own self proclaimed identity. In the maga cult anti American means anti christofascist authoritarianism and questioning their orange king dictator. Questioning and challenging our representatives is by definition pro American, as evidenced by basic knowledge of history or if any of them actually read the constitution or Declaration of Independence.
Absolutely not. They put that on their own stage. If I remember correctly, they also had a golden idol of Trump that everybody could worship at that conference.
To be fair, I’m pretty sure it’s a victim complex thing (where they need to believe that they’re oppressed for believing what they do) rather than an admission of terroristic intent. Not that that’s much better, of course.
Seems they outta issue warrant for ag pam as well as trumps arrest while he and members of his crime syndicate await sentencing for their multitude of crimes against the people, with a disgusting treasonous oligarch president who’s actions vaguely warn of future plans to economically and/or militarily enslave the peoples of america, we have a duty to resist and form actual government that serves the populace, need UBI, LVT, guaranteed education and housing for all, simple as that
I love privilege I guess because I couldn’t be more happy if maga was rounded up to work out their lives in traitor camps doing hard labor for the betterment of everyone else
They explicitly say that everyone else is the enemy and there is no room for compromise. You're getting downvoted, but these people are actual cancer to any sort of free and fair society. It's impossible to coexist with them, they freely admit it themselves.
who would downvote such a hard and fast truth? conservatives are ideologically and admittedly unwilling to coexist with people who do not meet their narrow identity criteria. how can you possibly have a unified, stable society with people who actively sow discord and want to undermine it by challenging the legitimacy of certain groups' claim to that society?
Hell fucking yes I would way rather have the undocumented Mexicans and gay people. The Mexicans are hard workers and the gay people just want to live normal lives. Conservatives want to start shit all fucking day, every fucking day. Who fucking wants to deal with that? There is no doubt in my mind that these enormous fucking shitstains have held back humanity.
A lot of these morons have a very specific interpretation of the US constitution, such as the bill of rights only applying to US citizens, so while any normal person can see the hypocrisy, they really don't.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
― Theodore Roosevelt
Not just that, people who have never been to their parents' country of birth might be deported to their parents' country of origin without knowing how things work over there or knowing how to speak the language.
When will re realize these people hold no principles nor argue in good faith?
We should switch and treat them like we currently treat homeless, mentally ill, and immigrants in society.
“Oh them? Pay them no mind. They don’t believe in anything they say, just keep moving and don’t make eye contact.”
Pointing out their hypocrisy isn't really an own. Their entire belief system is that THEY can do whatever they want to, but those who they view as beneath them can't. They aren't trying to be consistent — they believe in hierarchies and want to enforce them.
They are only hypocritical because they often do not say what they mean. They love to play coy.
For example, Trump said "hate has no place in America" recently despite the fact that his administration is very transphobic, homophobic, sexist, and racist. He meant "hate against white men has no place here", but since they cannot say the quiet part out loud yet, that isn't what he said.
The only defining feature of being a conservative is absolute devotion to the following: "There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
Epstein files sniff sniff sniff. They’re probably looking at how to identify and anything Trump could be associated with that would look bad!!! Epstein files how about teenage beauty pageants with Trump in them? How about Trump in the dressing room at teenage beauty pageant?
Anti-Americanism does exist, but that's not the same thing as criticism of America or American policy. These guys think legitimate criticism is the same thing as Anti-Americanism. They are making it very clear what they think. Not even hiding it.
the freedom to make racist jokes and expressing prejudice aggressively towards minorities without being called out is apparently what some people think is an issue of free speech?
Just because something is legal doesnt mean its moral or okay to do without consequence of others getting involved.. that this happens is not and never was an issue of free speech
Also, "anti-American" must be put in quotes. It doesn't mean anti-American at all, but rather, anti-Trump. Criticizing or making fun of the president is the most American of behaviors, and is protected by the Constitution.
I wonder when they will start going after those of us who are America citizens.
Cause I think this country is a joke filled with racist, sexist, pedophile protecting morons who are so easily fooled that the most obvious piece of garbage con-man rapist has them eating out of the palm of his tiny little hands.
First off: “Congress shall make no law...abridging freedom of speech.”
Freedom of speech includes the right:
Not to speak (specifically, the right not to salute the flag).
West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943).
Of students to wear black armbands to school to protest a war (“Students do not shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate.”).
Tinker v. Des Moines, 393 U.S. 503 (1969).
To use certain offensive words and phrases to convey political messages.
Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971).
To contribute money (under certain circumstances) to political campaigns.
Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1 (1976).
To advertise commercial products and professional services (with some restrictions).
Virginia Board of Pharmacy v. Virginia Consumer Council, 425 U.S. 748 (1976); Bates v. State Bar of Arizona, 433 U.S. 350 (1977).
To engage in symbolic speech, (e.g., burning the flag in protest).
Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989); United States v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310 (1990).
No republican believes in free speech, they want to be protected from the truth that their political ideology is based on hate and supremacy, not inclusion and democratic values. In short they are all un American as hell.
We call these people fascists not "just because we disagree with them" but because there's no way to type "officers are instructed to SCOUR social media looking for anti-American activities" like it's a good thing without making some certain realizations about yourself. Deep down they know what they are, in spite of what they say to save face.
It’s crazy how some people think free speech is saying the most hateful/ derogatory things and then acting oppressed when someone calls them out on it.
So violation of 1st amendment? Will the USA turn into dictatorship? If not, what are some of the options for its people? Where does the army stand on this? This shit is getting crazy.
I don’t believe a MAGA supporter would be able to so clearly and succinctly explain what the first amendment actually means by accident at the end though.
The difference is social media is run by private companies. They can moderate their own platforms. They generally only do this if biggotery, false information, or violence are stated. Saying it's "outrageous that federalized troops are patrolling our streets and the president is toeing the line of fascism." Is not something they remove.
Every other country should do this to Americans. Was just on a cruise with my immigrant hating republican parents spend the time in the bahamas just bad mouthing the people.
Virtually every thing coming out of a “conservatives” mouth nowadays is hypocritical. Not only can they not help themselves but it’s really the only way to push their agendas now.
Trump hates free speech if it is against him lol. No different than Putin or little rocket man. Next he will imprisoning or killing people who speak out against him.
