I'm thinking things like flagpoles in the yard.

Like you waste however much money and resources to keep your non-native grass around and they drop in a 60 foot pole into it to be able to fly an American flag and flag for whatever shitty college you went to.

What other things are there?

    Giving your DNA to a shady corporation so that they can read you your tea leaves and tell you 'where you're from'.

      Then that data gets shared with intelligence agencies, law enforcement and sold to the highest bidder. :ancap-good:

        I am yet to meet an American that has not given away their DNA, it's hilarious.

              No worries. I know plenty of people who have paid to have their DNA sold. Sweetest was a chud friend who was convinced of his Scottish heritage. Turns out he is English German, euro-mutt. And his dad had a second family he didn't know about.

          I haven't given mine away, but I'm sure it's been taken.

        The best part is that even if you don’t give yours away, all it takes is one sibling or parent to volunteer and you’re still screwed

          I think even more distant family can snitch on you with their dna right?

            Yeah I was just giving examples but I’m pretty sure you’re right, I think they can link people who are much more removed than that
