There are still countries even worse than the US.

And I think you’re underestimating the strength of an immigrant’s will to take risks to attempt to find a better life. Immigrants have suffered far worse throught US History.

I mean, just take a look at Wong Kim Ark. Dude didn’t just give up and leave, he stood his ground and fought though it, even though he had no idea if the US would even consider his case seriously.

And many people already have relatives in the US. So these are the risks they are willing to take to reunite. Unlike many westerners, who just completely give up on the slightest obstacles.

(Although I do think the much better option now is the EU, if they don’t have any relatives in the US already.)

Perfection!

I rather have strangers on forums recommending me stuff than their “algorithm”

Exurb1a is great btw (a lot of philosophy with a tiny sprinkle of… well you know… existential crisis 🫠)

Mentour Pilot for those who have an aircraft obsession

Ted-Ed for a lot of various historical, science, even political, educational content.

From his PoV, he’s actually standing on the far-right. Fitting lol

Step 1. Hack “Truth” Social

Step 2. Post: “My fellow Americans. I have signed legislation an executive order today that will outlaw China forever. We begin bombing in five minutes”

Step 3. ???

Step 4.

OMG I didn’t get the joke until someone mentioned “haram” 🤣

Meshtashtic isn’t really much better, in fact, its worse, the frequency is higher, therefore, it doesn’t penetrate obstructions well, compared to like VHF (which can be pocket sized, like a walkie talkie), or HF (which is essentially like a console size). The only advantage is that, in some jurisdictions, it doesn’t need license, and can legally re-transmit. All the legal benefits goes out the window when the country is authoritarian, so ham radio frequencies are much better for Iran.

Set “Power at ISP provider” = 0

Done

Btw is it legal to own Walkie Talkies / Ham Radios in Iran? Maybe they should be trying to get those for communications… 🤔

Using an encrypted messaging app could itself be a red flag, using a news app is normal behavior.

I downloaded the guardian app and couldn’t find the option.

I wonder how times have changed. I know someone who immigrated to the US around 2010s, they had no social media, most of their country didn’t really have internet yet. They were let in just fine and have since became a US citizen.

So is 2010s have no expectation of having social media, but now its an expectation?

Make a fake one that posts like… idk post random tech stuff that you could be reasonably interested in. Make nothing critical of authority. As a decoy profile.

Then you can rant about big brother on an anonymous Lemmy Account over TOR.

I don’t think that matters.

It doesn’t matter if you are trying to overthrow, say a US Adversary like Russia or China, its still counts. I guess the logic is: If you are willing to use violence in [Insert Country Here], how do we know you wont try it here?

A lot of the initial supporters of a revolution/coup gets purged so they don’t become a threat to the new authority themselves. Like hitler and the S.A. for example.

MAGAt supporters are just useful idiots, if they successfully fully take over, those same supporters now become the new threat that needs to be purged.

“Have you ever attempted to overthrow a government by force or violence?”
