Makes you wonder if this is more of a "friends of the US list" and less of a screening-out questionnaire.
if you answer yes on the genocide and torture questions, they send you an appllication to join the CIA
Gotta make sure you get a reference from one of your School of the Americas instructors
Have you ever participated in genocide? If YES please sign this form: [APPLICATION FOR PRESIDENT OF THE USA]
And people still attempt to "reclaim" totalitarianism as an idea for the left to use lmao.
There is nothing to reclaim, the term itself is a nonsense by its definition. Which was also afaik changed multiple times to be more and more specific because its one single reason to exist is to push equation between nazism and communism. Older versions were at least funny because after some pondering things that fulfilled the term the most were capitalism and at least some religions.
"*If you were involved with the CIA at that time, it doesn't count."
Nowadays, because the Cold War against Communists is gone, likely they're going to put up something to the lines of
"If me and your country were to fight, would you support us?"
The weird choice to use "son or daughter" instead of "child" means enbies can confidently answer "no" to those questions
Foreign communists, and others whose potential visits to the U.S. were considered to be not in the best interest of the United States, were prohibited entry into the country. The Subversive Activities Control Act of 1950 barred from entry into the U.S. all those who advocated ‘the economic, international and governmental doctrines of world communism or […] of any other form of totalitarianism’.
Past or present membership in the Communist Party was deemed sufficient to prohibit entry. Moreover, for purposes of this Act past membership in Nazi or fascist parties were not considered to be included under the definition of ‘totalitarian’.

America: I can excuse Nazism but i draw the line at workers rights.
My wife is doing this green card stuff, I’m her sponsor, and three of the questions because she’s from China are explicitly about the CPC and their youth outreach arms.
I am trying to imagine the kind of person who would actually answer yes to any of these questions.
"Yes, now you ask I'm actually coming to do money laundering, drugs and terrorism. Thank you for asking"
they'd probably roll out the red carpet for you because you're likely CIA or something
