They’re actively engaged in and expressed desire in increased levels personal surveillance. With AI on the rise we can’t be too careful. Don’t make it too easy to find posts by you containing their names, or allusions to them. In a few years, posts like these could be considered illegal - even retroactively like the Nazis did!

I work in IT, specifically education. I know how easy it can be to passively and actively monitor thousands of people with one station. It’s probably already too late for us, but we can try.

Use metaphor, don’t use the direct spelling, don’t make your intentions completely clear.

    Lmao, what do you think happens when you show up in an EU country requesting asylum?

    They say “The United States is a Democracy. Asylum denied. Good luck.” gets deported back to the US

    Then the border agents make some excuse that says your US passport is invalid, and you get thrown in a camp where they hold all the “illegal immigrants”. Don’t forget about the 13th amendment prison slavery exemption.

    (And by the time the world no longer recognize the US as a Democracy, it’d be too late, since borders would be closed and you won’t be able to leave.)

      This is actually not true. If you are part of a “persecuted group” without access to a safe alternative location inside the country of origin, you can seek asylum in the EU.

      So for example, trans people from Florida currently cannot seek asylum in the EU although they are at risk of “discriminatory and disproportionate prosecution” for using public restrooms, because there is an “internal protection alternative”, in other states.

      If however, federal law is passed banning trans folks from public bathroom use, it is likely that they could seek asylum in the EU.
