Please do not come to the US.
It's okay. I know you know that our government is not us. I know you know that we love you. I know you know that we are in a terrible place.
But please don't come here.
I can not guarantee your safety.
I am horrified to be saying it, it feels awful, I hate hate hate it, but the simple truth is that I can not guarantee your safety.
There is no rule of law here. Our government is led by people who do not believe in any of our shared values.
@GeePawHill I never wanted to go. I will not forget how many countries was destroyed by the united snakes before trump
@GeePawHill Nothing lasts forever. I'm pretty optimistic that you guys will figure a way out of this mess.
@GeePawHill The false, narrow proclamation that life was and is only about survival of the fittest of course denied the collaborative parts of species. And the US obsession with individualism is now revealing how bad a path was for most Americans. Compare with superior quality of life in the Nordic countries.
@GeePawHill Sorry mate but yes your country is fucked
@GeePawHill USA needs many more Luigi. It's your only way to get out fascism, Europe or South and North America will not come to rescue you.
Nobody will rescue people from international fascism except their own individual actions and own sacrifice.
@GeePawHill still, you guys developed some of the best things we have today and we all should work together.
Geography is just lines on a map - the internet is for everyone, and nothing prevents us from collaborating with each other
Don't finesse me, keep your eye on the ball.
I am old. I am cis. I am white. I am male. I own my house. I own my land. I am not some bearded radical you might wanna sleep with on an off night. (Tho, you know, call me <waggle-finger gesture>.)
I am telling you, straight up: If you come here, I can not guarantee your safety.
@GeePawHill I am 63. I never had the money or the need to visit the US, although almost everybody around me did. In the last years, specifically since 2016, I felt that visiting the US will not be a good experience for me. Unless something changes radically, I will probably live the rest of my life without this.
@GeePawHill Despite being two hours from the border, I've been extremely reluctant to enter the States since 2001. But yes, this year that changed from "extremely reluctant" to "under no circumstance."
