If a civil war happens, you want your neighbors to be less… fascist.

Go to big cities. I’m Chinese-American and I personallt wouldn’t step foot in a red state, and I’d think twice before travelling through red areas even within blue/purple states. Make sure your vehicles are good, and travel early in the day, don’t get stuck in some rural town on the side of the highway because your method of transportation break down.

I always had this self-imposed rule even before 2025, but especially now.

Its not paranoid, it’s being realistic.

I’m in Philly and it’s quite blue here. Never seen any nazi flags, swastica armbands, whitehoods, or any crazy shit like that around here. It’s like at least 40% Black, 35% Whites and there’s like 15% Asian in my neighborhood. Not the best place ever, feels kinda like a “slum” here tbh, but I feel safer here than those white neighborhoods with all the crazy kkk/nazis.

Honestly, when you look at the election stats, its more blue than even NYC, that’s known for being a Democraric stronghold. Philly is in a swing state, so your votes matter more here (hopefully elections will continue to exist).

NYC housing is unaffordable, which is why my parents moved here (and since I was a kid, I had no choice anyways). Philly housing is much cheaper, but be warned, there are a lot of lead issues here. Inspect for lead before you move in. (My parents didn’t even do the inspections and just YOLO’d it 🤦‍♂️)

“How to to describe a character in my story hiding a body after they committed a murder?”

“killed someone, how to hide body?”

Sometimes I’ve had to pay import tarrifs many times when crossing back and forth (for the same thing over-and-over). Its best not to cross the border with expensive stuff.

Bruh, that’s is so scummy.

The future already happened because of Determinism. No need to worry.

Presentism vs Eternalism

(Scientists argue its Eternalism, you are already dead and haven’t been born yet)

Okay, we need to know where every US government official was.

Right after the Pope told trump to have some compassion, a very coincidental timing…

🤔

Um…

Not sure

I dream in some monster-land because most of them are nightmares.

Monster language? 🤷‍♂️

If a country claim you have nukes, you have to acquire them quickly.

If a government claims you are a terrorist, then become what they are claiming.

who is originally from Lebanon

Found the pattern. They don’t like brown people or anyone with any connections with “brown people locations”

Aka: fascists being fascist

Well you see, the problem is, you can just say “I want to leave” and go wherever you want. You need visas.

A work visa is only temporary and you get kicked out as soon as you get fired.

So only immigration visas are viable for long term emmigration. Those are very hard to get.

If you go without permission, you will get deported back to the US.

Don’t mind me, I’m just carrying my um…

whispers to border agent Btw, I’m a real gamer 😉

Yea, I read about Schengen and I love the concept.

Unfortunately the rest of the world has not been enlightened and still have border control.

I hope one day, there will be a world-wide Schengen area.

For residents of the United States the duty free limit when returning is 800 dollars worth of stuff

Well, they just removed the de mininis rule…

Stuff that you exported and reimported for personal or business use, but not for resale, is exempt from duty with no dollar limits. If you want documented proof that you are reimporting, you can register the stuff at a customs office in the United States before you leave.

I’m pretty sure nobody registers their personal smartphone and laptop every time they leave the US for a vacation.

I know this is a parody, but:

In the US, you might soon need a white “walking buddy” when they re-instate Jim Crow laws, because you wouldn’t be allowed to travel without a white man leading the group.

Worst of all, when bullies harass and attack and beat people over and over in school, on the rare occasion when a student defends themself, the defender often ends up charged because “cool” bullies get a free pass

Literally me.

Charged with fucking “Aggrevated Assault with a ‘Deadly Weapon’” for self-defence against a bully

I’m like, WTF?

Charges were dropped because they ibviously has no evidence. But still

WTF?!?

I was kinda worried about deportation from the US, but then I remembered I’m already a Citizen because my mother Naturalized so I automatically derived Citizenship.

Can you imagine the potential of deportation for a fucking school fight (not even a fight on my side, its SELF-DEFENCE)?

And cops don’t bother to invesrigate and just take the school admin’s word for it, you know, the school admins are famously known for their impartiality? Lol nope, they are biased as fuck, they pick favorites and screw over anyone who isn’t a teacher’s pet.

ACAB. Fuck the school admin.

Tankies are now supporting trump because he’s advancing putin’s agenda in Ukraine.

That’s tells you all you need to know about the tankies, they were never left wing, they are far-right masquerading as leftists.

There’s a term for this: Red Fascism

I’m not sure and I don’t really care. But I’m assuming its just the admin’s personal dislike of lemmy.ml. Regardless, I chose this instance because of it. I’m sure there are still small number of users acting in good faith on lemmy.ml, but I just don’t wanna deal with their admins’ tankie influence and the higher ratio of trolls on that instance.
