I am very much NOT going to have any sympathy for comic professionals & especially comic FANS who get detained travelling to the US for cons & promotional events.
Pros, especially all the Latin Americans & Europeans who now work in the mainstream US Comic field really should know better.
Fans in particular though are *generally* a pretty self-interested, right-leaning bunch of idiots and will get EXACTLY what they deserve.
Comics are fun. Just don't attribute political depth to the industry.
@selzero It's not self-sabotage. That suggests he and his cronies will suffer too. they won't. This a deliberate sabotage to fuck EVERYONE ELSE there for the benefit of the 1%.
Essentially Business As Usual, just FASTER.
Brexit was/is an English national crime against the UK as a whole.
@selzero I try never to call the US "America." It is part of the assumed privilege of that state that it uses the name of two continents solely for itself.
Sometimes I slip up (lifetime of external western propaganda), but generally I try and stick with "US" and "USuians."
@selzero It's worse than stupidity. it's WILFUL stupidity. They know it's wrong but don't wish to sacrifice any of THEIR convenience - not even comfort; just *convenience* - so throw everyone else under the bus. Only to realise at the last minute they're still handcuffed to the last person they threw.
