    Anyone traveling to the US is a fucking idiot. 5 years worth of social media scrutiny. You or someone you know has been critical of Trump or Israel in some way. You’re going straight to the camps.

      There are multiple stories of “normal” Western white people being sent into the concentration camp system that was supposed to be designated for brown people. 20 people to a room, inedible food, no medical care or provided medication, a lot of times no water and overflowing toilets, no lawyers, no contact with your family. More than a few people have died in there. They’re not really tracking how many. And why would they? One of them died by hanging with his hands tied behind his back.

      That’s still supposed to be for brown people only, and only noncitizen brown people. But they’re coming for the white people and the citizens too, they’re just spending a little time getting it all normalized, and it’s progressing smoothly, no one’s really fighting back so far. Yes. Don’t come to the fucking United States right now for the love of all that is holy if you value your safety. There doesn’t even have to be a reason, they can just grab you out of the line and fuck up your life and freedom completely to meet their quota for the week.

        Yadda yadda they came for the trade unionists, I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist, yadda yadda.

        They’re always coming for you, and there will never be anyone left to speak out for you, in a society where people are too comfortable to fight back. They’ll get you all, one at a time. There’s nothing to wait for. There is no rescue waiting just down the road. There will never be a time when resistance suddenly gets stronger, they will make sure it always gets weaker. Fight back now, or forever hold your peace.

          There’s nothing delusional about this. It is an accurate description of what is happening and how it will get worse. At this point the delusion is to continuing to deny this.

      He is indeed corpo scum. If (when) we live in Cyberpunk 2077 that dude will 100% be the face of a megacorp. Or at least a cyborg wearing his face.

        He kinda reminds me of the bad scientist guy from Stranger Things who was conducting tests on El’s powers.

    As an American all I can say is, I wish I could find a meaningful way to join the boycott. Hit them in the wallet once for me.

      At this point if California secedes I expect it’ll be some techbro TESCREAL libertarian nightmare. This is the place that gave us the Californian ideology after all.

    Pay me a million dollars and I still wouldn’t set foot on your state’s soil (nor any other state’s). The USA is permanently dead to me.
