"I don't care if they have all my data. I don't have anything to hide"

First everyone always does. Second there is always a chance you do want to hide with a regime change.

Yes, but you can ALWAYS have links to Hamas. All it takes is having a friend on FB that said Free Palestine once.

Yeah, that only works for people who are brainwashed to follow whatever the current regime is pushing regardless of how much it hurts them personally, but especially if it doesn't hurt them directly in the very short term.

But complaining that this year there is no tourism in the US

Repeating history in a creepy way. only changing names: Miller instead Goebbels, ICE instead of SS ...

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

Damn that's such an insult to Goebbels.

[–] shutz@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's not realistic. They'd never use real names like "Bobby".

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yes, it would be some tacticool edgelord callsign like "Viper" or "Terminator".

i literally know of a person who was a pedophile that went by 'Viper' of course it was also a script kiddie

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How did you find that out?

[–] 6R1MR34P3R@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Long story. But it was by searching on its server while on its house. The pedo tried to incriminate the father (being from Venezuela and etc police here will try to arrest you just for being from there) first before i reported the evidence to police, it went viral on TV here but the father has been accused and incriminated by fascists political groups that doesn't care if hes a pedo or not (wich he is not, the baby of him was abused by this other person) they only want to generate fake news and get some clicks on their social media.

This is just a summary im not gonna write it all is long as i said lol

I'm gonna be crucified for this take but I do think that should be the one thing kept at customs and border control.

So many instances of ecological terrorism because somebody thought it'd be cute to bring an invasive species to a different country
