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.
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 sir, the form only has space for four!
My US visa officer: what do you mean you did not have 'social' media accounts in 5 years? No, these weird sites don't count. Underground terrorist? Straight to gulag.
"I don't use social media"
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?
Oh well, I wouldn't have been welcome anyway, seeing I've had the audacity to be critical of Israeli ~~genocide~~ defense, TACO and Daddy Put-it-in.
Guess I'll go spend my tourist money elsewhere.
This is why I’ve already deleted basically everything, social media is a cancer that pushes us further and further apart and replaces meaningful interactions with vapid and shallow counterfeit interactions, it’s a net loss for anyone using it at this point.
Meanwhile, you post here :P
"I am very intelligent."
"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.
Good luck. NYS couldn't even keep track of this requirement just for CCW permits.
Who TF wants to set foot in that shithole banana republic anyway?
Stuff your visa, and return the favor and stay TF out of other people's countries.
That would be a welcome change.
I mean they make you sign away your rights and tell them if you’ve ever been affiliated with any one who was in or if you joined a communist party. So this is just another layer on the shit cake.
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.
As a Native American this attitude would be a lot more understandable and palatable if America wasn’t colonized…
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?
I totally understand your sentiment. Undoubtedly the USA is built on stolen land, much like Israel.
and there are no illegals on stolen land.
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.
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.
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.
Maybe that will finally kill off the giant amorphous blob of human rights violations known as FIFA
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?
