No joke, the US is super strict about that stuff, there's a member of the European Parliament from Greece who can never be granted a visa now because he made a documentary that kinda seemed to them like it was promoting terrorism, even though it was tame af. Soo yeah I might be fucked if I decide to do a PhD in the US or whatever lol.
There are of course. But it's better to have as many options as possible worldwide because it's hard to get into a good department. Also there are no good departments in my country.
Well, it's all on you. If you think keeping that option open is more important than a solidarity protest I don't think anyone will blame you
Nah it isn't important enough, there are wayyy more important reasons to not want it get caught there. For instance getting my ribs kicked in like they just did literally today to some complete rando who wasn't even protesting anything, or getting charged with a bullshit felony made up charge and having to wade through 8 years legal trouble during which time I won't be able to travel ANYWHERE abroad, to get partially acquitted eventually. I'm pretty careful so I don't think I'm getting caught but yeah. I'm more scared of covid.
“Live your life in a way that would get you banned from the US” is cool motivational advice
Dude, you think they don't know you have been posting "Death to America" all these years anyways?
The government wants to strip me of citizenship for my yard sign that says:
In this house we stand for the Halo theme.
Say "America deserved 9/11".
We burn the flag.
All cops are bastards.
In this house we stand for the Halo theme.
Marty O'Donnell is our Francis Scott Key
Steve Vai is our Lee Greenwood
Love that the Halo guys are doing 6 Days in Fallujah what a twist
I mean everyone does here lol but they can get a visa. Being caught in a protest like that is probably an immediate disqualifier tho. They probably already have my photos but I don't think that's enough.
Either way there is much worse stuff to worry about if I do get caught so I hope that doesn't happen lol
EDIT: Oh shit oh fuck I've posted about it on FB anyways, alright, I might be already fucked lol. Sooo let's hope they're not arsed enough to find that in case I try to get a visa.
BTW FB automatically flags and takes down posts even just mentioning his name now...
Sorry, I made it look better than it actually is. FB takes down your ENTIRE PROFILE or shadowbans you for a month for speaking his name and ciriticising the handling by the government. Numerous popular leftist journalists, comedians, lawyers etc have had their profiles restricted like that.
