US revokes six foreigners’ visas over social media comments criticizing Charlie Kirk
US revokes six foreigners’ visas over social media comments criticizing Charlie Kirk
The illusion of the US is over. They aren’t even bothering to pretend anymore
The illusion of the U.S. being a free country will hold for a while, to those who wish it is true. That's the problem
Fascists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
And they beat their chests and constantly boast about how big and stronk they are, too.
Ape together strong.
Fascists as individuals maybe are weak and brittle. But right now they are united, very strong, and very dangerous and no one can do anything to stop them from just doing what they please.
We used to have free speech in this country. We had more rights in the 1980s
We had more rights in 2024.
My work has flirted with the idea of me visiting sites in the US a couple of times over my career. Previously I was a bit nervous about the idea of having to go through the whole security theatre bullshit, and I didn't actually need to be there, so I put it off. Now it's an outright no. It seems genuinely like a dangerous place to travel now. Shit's wild looking in from the outside, and they still insist on touting themselves as the land of the free.
Anything involving the fascist regime is dangerous, but most of the country and cities are safe and most people are nice. There are a groups of magats and Ice agents that are worth worrying about however. And if I had the option, I wouldn’t be here.
At that point, anyone who post on Lemmy is probably considered a terrorist. No way I'm ever stepping foot in the US ever again, and I live an hour from the border.
The Orange Turd declaring anti-fascists as terrorist equates to declaring the majority of the population of the world as terrorists... Imbecile... Fascist imbecile...
Ah, and saying "smart people don't like me" and the clueless followers clapping... Priceless!
We are all domestic terrorists
Not if we aren't American.
I was going to visit Europe in Dec. Trip got cancelled but I was relieved a little because I was pretty sure I wouldn’t be allowed back in the country tho I’m an American, regardless of the law.
Not that I want to live here anymore, but still.
Realizing I have better rights in an Eastern European country with a fascist prime minister is pretty wild
I don't think I could bear a trip out of the country unless I knew I wasn't coming back.
Bullet dodged. Go to Canada guys
O say does that star spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free,
And the home of the brave?
The answer is now emphatically, "No."
Rest in Piss CK.
Charlie Kirk secretly wanted to suck gang member cock
Edit: But he can't now since he was shot through the neck and died. I just wanted to clarify that point a little better
In the nanoseconds after he was shot and turned in to the human fountain did he think "Wow, now I can have two gang member cocks in my throat at the same!"?
Or did he think "warglegarblegarggggguuuufumpfffg"?
Probably it's the two cocks
What do you mean "or"? It's clearly an and.
If he were able to form any coherent thought, I hope it'd be "Worth it! 2nd Amendment!"
"freedom" of speech
How exactly do they even single these people out and know what’s on their social media?
Because they all live on social media instead of working at their new boring government jobs.
Charlie Kirk fucked donkeys with his asshole. (Unverified but probably true)
Lucky I can say Kirk was a piece of shit in life and his legacy is just shit-tastic in death.
Hope they GTFO ASAP before the gestapo relocation service is assigned to their cases.
I find it funny how this thread is against the decision while there’s another thread with people supporting Australia for doing the same thing to an american.
I actually support both decisions. Countries should be able to deny/revoke visas without even having to provide a reason.
There is a difference between a political commentator who makes their living spreading rhetoric that is hateful to the countries government and is travelling with the intention of spreading that rhetoric directly and some random travelling for leisure who said some shit on social media that was hateful to the countries government. There is also something to be said for if the rhetoric is actually causing measurable harm to large numbers of people vs if the rhetoric maybe hurt a handful of peoples feelings or seemed embarrassing to the administration.
Not the same thing. At all.
Comments like this might fly on reddit but people here are generally too sharp for that.
Ah yes, "Charlie Kirk won’t be remembered as a hero" by some random dude with 5 followers - barred from entry to the US, is the same as "When do we deploy troops to Australia? When do we invade Australia and free an oppressed people who are suffering under a totalitarian regime?" along with hundreds of anti-Jewish, holocaust denial comments and whitewashing of (literally) Hitler - barred from entry to Australia.
Yap yap yap Go worm into someone else's ear with this crap.
That's one of the comments that gets a person deported from the USA? The fascist Republican regime is claiming that such comments celebrate his assassination, which is the same absurd move as calling any sympathy for Palestinians a celebration of Hamas attacks. Charlie Kirk was a far-right white supremacist bigot and provocateur.
Your visa has been revoked for incendiary comment! Twice for being a Hamas sympathizer!!! ;-)
Facts get your visa revoked. And this person didn't even criticize the president, it was some nobody Nazi.
This is what a fascist dictatorship looks like.
