    So who’s betting with me that this won’t be canceled ever, like TSA screenings, even if the US would find their way back to a democracy (after some very intense protests / a civil war 2.0 probably)?

      Lemmy is a leftist platform, the devs literally calls themselves “Marxist-Leninists”, so everyone here is guilty by association, they don’t care about tankies vs anarchist vs Social Democrat vs Neoliberal, to the far right, you’re all Maoists/Stalinists, which means you’re kinda fucked lol.

      Maybe if you were using reddit, and didn’t post anything political, you could pass as an apolitical normie.

        I am no one, but I lost all respect for players after Qatar. They and their fans will walk on dead bodies to any popular event. FIFA just has to lay on the red carpet over the bodies.

            Not unlikely, the turnout for the Club World Cup which is happening in the US right now has been terrible.

            You had PSG, the winner of the champions leage (think football super bowl) take on Athetico (one of the probably top 10 teams on earth), in LA, the second biggest city in the US, and they couldn’t even fill up the stadium 😭.

    Every time I hear the news from the USA I think: it’s not like things were peachy before Trump 2.0 or even 1.0. How much worse can it get?

      As my college RA who suffered from an extreme fear of zombies once told us during one of his multiple zombie preparedness meetings:

      Never try lighting zombies on fire, especially if you’re in the same building as them. You know what’s the only thing worse than a bunch of zombies shambling up the stairs towards you? A bunch of zombies on fire shambling up the stairs towards you.

      You underestimate our ability to analyze every problem and solution, and then light both of them on fire.

        Except if destruction of the brain kills zombies, their heads would explode from the heat, probably within 5-10 minutes.

          Yeah, if you ever wonder how we got to this situation, the number of people who seriously prepare for zombie apocalypse and studying zombie movies for tips is non-zero. It’s a depressingly non-zero number.

      Despite everything, this remains a state created by Enlightenment liberals, extremely decentralized, with a powerful independent judiciary and literally the strongest speech protections in the world.

      Obviously the direction of travel is wrong, but let’s keep some perspective.

      PS: disappointing to see such a display of irrational groupthink in this community, I had hoped for better. Perhaps the instance was a clue.

            Powerful independent judiciary

            Have you read the news recently?

            Enlightened liberals

            Have you seen the current administration, or half the politicians?

            literally the strongest speech protections in the world.

            Like getting deported or denied at the border because you criticized the dear leader online?

      Fun Fact: USCIS can see even juvenile records for the past 5 years, so if you just became 18, meaning, (example) that fight at school when you were 14 where you defended yourself against the racist xenophobia bully? That’s on record. For adult records, they could see every arrest even if it never resulted in a conviction, and could make decisions based on arrests alone. Or of they have “enough evidence” suggesting you are a drug user or drug dealer, they could make you “inadmissible”, even if there are zero arrests nor convictions.

      For adult records, they can see all sealed records, expunged records, or even pardoned offenses, and make decisions based on that, and you’re expected to answer honestly, otherwise if they find out like even decades after the fact, they can just revoke any visa, green card, or even citizenship. And all that was already a thing before this traitor scum got into office.

      And people are saying “immigration is too lax”, I’m like: Bitch, do you know how hard is it to get in? You probably don’t even qualify had you not been born here
