Great, just visiting the US now violates the GDPR
- What's worse is that y'all have a digital omnibus, which would basically end GDPR. That's nasty, however.
  
  We don't have that yet, and it's harder to pass stuff like it than it is in the US.
  For now it's just a corpo wet dream.

Absolutely destroying any notion for community, cooperation or good will, making adversaries out of all nations. America has gone insane.
- America hasn't gone insane, our democracy has been hacked
  We are not ok with any of this at an insane level of unity... More than we've had for anything in my lifetime. Congress members are resigning right now in the hopes of saving their careers
  We're up against the full weight of the global 1%. They're trying to hollow out our county and leave it as a playground for billionaires
  They own the media, the administration, the highest court, and to some extent our law making bodies
  This is a disease. It's coming for everyone if it isn't stopped
  
  Yet y'all still shopping at Amazon, using Facebook, giving your wages to the very people that are doing all of this, just living the same as you always have, obedient little consumers. Half of America votes for this and the other half doesn't seem to think it's serious enough to make any significant change in how they live. Your democracy is literally at stake here! It isn't just MAGA that empowers this, it's every American who can't seem to figure out that how they have lived their lives fuels the money that's making this happen.
- Yeah, thank our Catholic-butt politicians for that. Christofascism is the thing nowadays, and it ain't stoppin' until it's stopped.
  
  I'll thank the American citizen who can't be bothered to fulfill even the smallest iota of their civic responsibility to safeguard their own democracy or prevent the tyranny that sits in the damned white house breaking everything until its irreparable.
- The US are slowly becoming Gilead.
