Sounds like they are saying we have nothing to lose.

I don't see a threat. I see permission.

Google doesn't show AI for porn searches.

Bing continues to be the best porn search engine.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

You don't owe CBP any explanation. You are under no obligation to enter your credentials or unlock your phone.

They do have the authority to seize your phone.

If you must take a phone with you:

  • buy a burner
  • set it up with a burner account (or no account if possible)
  • memorize the number of your emergency contact in the states
  • prior to landing on US soil, reset the phone (make sure you write down your flight confirmation or other important travel information)
  • as you go through security, text your emergency contact on your status. If at any point you are approached by CBP, let your contact know that if they don't hear from you in an hour, call an attorney.

We are now in fascism times. The rule of law has no bearing on you. If you are apprehended, yell that you are being detained illegally.

If you see someone being detained, record the event, intervene non violently if you are able to. If enough of your fellow passengers are resisting, consider additional actions.

Under no circumstances should you comply in advance.

Edit: CBP not ICE. But same thing applies.

All so that billionaires can make a few more million dollars.

"Those who make peaceful reform impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

Our entire human history is littered with oppression of "the other". I could argue that cooperation and trying to recover from oppression is not only rare but relatively new in comparison.

I personally believe that we as humans should strive to better ourselves. However, there are large groups of people who would rather that they win and even larger groups of people that want to see others lose.

And unfortunately those two groups are incompatible in a society.

I don't disagree with your conclusion, but I can tell you that those in power have made peaceful resolution impossible.

And when you make peaceful resolution impossible, you make violent revolution inevitable.

Your lemmy.world admins have rules against inciting violence and many mods have a "bUt bOtH sIdEs!" attitude. It's why I am very careful what I post to communities in that instance.

If martial law is what they want, let me ask you: what the actual fuck do we have to lose?

Nixon was the starting domino. You can draw a straight line from Nixon to Trump.

You could go all the way to the Three-Fifths Compromise honestly but it's not as clear of a line but the components are certainly there.

They are fully comfortable with reckless profits. Corruption is just the price to pay.

We only welcome them if and only if they over correct.

I.e. they start actively campaigning against Trump, publicly and without hesitation.

Because if they don't, they'll likely come out in 2026 and vote Republican again. And in the likely event that Trump goes for a third term, they'll just be racist again.
