To be clear, I don't mean "fuck you if you don't like it", I mean literally nobody should go to the USA (I'm a citizen) unless it's absolutely necessary.

- akie 2y agoI've been avoiding traveling to the US, and even doing stop-overs, at least since Trump first became president. You guys are a bit too enthusiastic about the whole police state / fascism thing, and have been ever since 9/11.
- veidr 2y agoYou're right to do so, but I think the urgency has changed. Since Bush and 9/11 we had some dubious, secret lists like the "no-fly list" — but we also had a bunch of other secret lists, too. The difference is now you get a Customs agent named CatFart69 and it's all up to him. That is hugely important, and differentiating, because until this current administration, the incompetence (or willful white supremacism / pro-wrestling hero-worship) was at least centralized. Now it is outsourced to the lowest common moron/incel functionary. Which is a truly fundamental difference. Do not come. If you truly must, take similar precautions as you would when visiting Iran or North Korea.
