I got banned in that very same thread as well, for the same reasons. Although admittedly I was being quite venomous so I guess I deserved it, but still. It’s a community filled with people who think that they didn’t participate in voting, so they’re free of blame for everything happening right now

I wish someone would give me cyanide capsules. So romantic 😍

‘Great’ does not necessarily mean ‘good’

You certainly sound more and more like you belong in America. How convenient for you to sit behind social media and blame others for doing the same. You’re nothing but a bitter, rabid moron looking for any reason to spew hate at an entire populace different than you… Much like the American republicans. But sure, I’m sure Americans love what’s happening to them and others. They overwhelmingly love the idea of bombing innocent children, out of control housing prices, gas and groceries becoming prohibitively expensive, medical bills through the roof and vital, life saving medications they can’t afford all while wages stay almost 20 years behind inflation. Yes, there are idiots in America who staunchly vote for this, just as there are people in every country who vote for their equivalent. You should actually consider that a country is not made up of a single, monolithic populace. But that would mean you need to be able to think critically

Don’t you make the choice to risk your life for your country already by joining the military? Sounds like this is that risk for them. Risk stepping on an IED killing children or getting a court martial for not killing children is a risk either way, but one is infinitely better than the other.

Uh they already have been murdering democratic politicians. Remember that guy who got beaten with a hammer? Or that couple and their dog who got shot by a dude pretending to be a cop? It has been happening already. Your point is nonexistant

Another fun fact is that liberals scored 20 points at the highest, while conservatives scored a 12. So not only do they only care about themselves, they don’t even care about the people closest to themselves as much as liberals care about people they don’t know

What an American trait you have, to make generalizations about an entire country’s citizens based on their government lying, cheating, stealing and ignoring what they want.

It is still used to refer to things like fire retardant. To retard (pronounced ruh-tard and not ree-tard) means to slow or restrict the progress of something such as spoilage or fire spreading and is still a word with ligitimate uses, with the outdated ‘medical’ usage being a reference to a mentally disabled person’s slower mental progress.

I would imagine most people’s opinions on their own opinions are that they are correct

Good lord dude, it’s a silly meme about how Jesus came back from the dead, kinda like zombies. Doesn’t really seem to be shitting on or offensive to Christianity to me. Especially considering I’ve known devout Christians who jokingly have made the same comparison before

Being somewhat new to Lemmy, what are some good instances to use besides? I’m still learning about them, but I’ve heard not so good things about .ml?

Your analysis is ridiculous, incorrect and dangerous to OP. ICE are still active and still abducting people. They kidnapped a woman in front of her children after she passed the security checkpoint in the airport just hours after being placed there the first time. Plus, like I said before, a lawyer and paperwork MIGHT get you back out of the detention center after a few weeks, IF they decide to let you out and not just say they lost you, or ignore the order anyway. Everything in between those two times is totally up to the agents in how they want to treat you. You’re an idiot and have no place offering advice to anyone considering moving to this country

Okay, so I don’t understand the point of this response, still. It’s obvious that OP is deciding on a country to move to, considering that was the entire premise of this thread. You said paperwork will protect OP from ICE, misleading OP. I corrected that. My response was also with OP in mind, considering he is not as experienced with American life as an American is. Your appreciation of my contributions does not matter. What point are you trying to make right now?

Sure it’s a slippery slope, but it’s also exactly how corporations and governments have been behaving and there’s hundreds of examples of it. You’re being intentionally dense if you don’t believe that.

Okay, and? I’m talking about the USA, specifically. The person above me implied keeping your paperwork in order will protect you from ICE, and I said that was false. I was not talking about China, nor Japan

I… But… Teeth??

I’m telling your mom

Unfortunately, having paperwork in order does not protect you from ICE. They do not care about the law and will abduct you as you are walking into/out of any immigration hearings. They routinely ignore judge’s orders to release people and have no accountability for any harm or damage they cause. Sure, you might get yourself out in a week or two IF you have a good lawyer, but not before they do whatever they want to you in the meantime
