@lain I think it would be impossible to not learn his lesson from his last administration and everything that happened to him after that. he's reacting rationally for his circumstances
@Anonsfw@lain the thing I used to mention during the "muslim country" ban thing was, people were acting like it was new, but the USA already had in place a ban on immigration from certain countries due to terrorism, for example one was Chechnya. Remember those bomber brothers, their family only was allowed to immigrate to the USA by special exception because their uncle worked in the CIA and it apparently was a reward for services rendered.
@sun@lain I still think Trump 2016-2020's term was a lot more tame than a lot of people gave it.
What he did was about on par of what other country leaders would do, Probably now even more so albeit a bit more extreme with even Legal Immigrants can be deported if they did something wrong as in stealing.
@Anonsfw@lain@sun seems a baseless but common enough belief, we will see. mothers approach to this is essentially "america isnt that great i'll be happy if they pay for my flight home"
@maija@lain@sun Fuck, I can't find the source that I saw the other day. Disregard what I said, It was a twitter post so it may not have been 100% accurate. I apolocheese.
@maija@lain@Anonsfw the most "delightful" thing I have seen related to this is Indians on the H1B subreddit saying that children were now a "liability not an asset" if they couldn't be leveraged to get them citizenship through birth citizenship getting them in through family unification laws.
@lain@maija@sun I don't think people like myself will be deported since I was born and raised in america and so did my parents. But mainly Migrants who came from Mexico, Became legal Immigrants are the ones that, According to that one post that I can't find so it's a baseless statement, that supposedly could be deported back if they did something illegal.
But again, I do not know now since i can't find the source lol.
@taylan@sun basically a cryptocurrency under control of a national government.
'let's do bitcoin, or something like ethereum/ripple labs ripple (ie with or without mining say) but let's give some part of the US government a backdoor / the ability to impoverish anyone, globally, at the click of a button, with no recourse'
@nav@sun It's a blatant form of tyranny. It's like banning mustard gas outside of special lab conditions -- it's banning something that gives too much power to one institution and will lead to mass suffering if allowed to be installed anywhere
