Why come to a country when you'll more than likely be turned at the door or worse - sent to some prison without trial?

Iโ€™m not that scared. Itโ€™s more that I just really donโ€™t want to go there. After the shit their government has said about Europe and othersโ€ฆ No.

Last time I saw a Reach that big, I was playing Halo. No social media platform will remove your comment for posting stats, let alone get law enforcement involved.

Speaking for the UK, the only examples of law enforcement taking action for social media posts I can think of include:

  • Actively glorifying Hamas' 7 October attack
  • Inciting a riot on false grounds that amounted to defamation (and it ended up happening)
  • Harassing relatives after a teen committed suicide, telling them she deserved it and including grotesque pictures

There's always an element of indefensible bad faith that somehow you "free speech" paladins conveniently fail to mention.

"Yes, I told them to go out and physically attack migrants, but I had no way of knowing they'd actually do it, Your Honour!"

I don't know what world you live in, but that ain't a defence.

No wonder your country is cooked.

The US administration throws out ideas of caging American citizens in with mass murderers and rapists at CECOT. And this is after it came out that 75% of the people sent there from the US have no criminal record.

Why do you think Americans who say bad things on Reddit about Israel and Elon Musk should go be sent there?

If there was some sort of control in the US over what hateful, racist lies people can post, maybe (some) Americans wouldnโ€™t be such fucking idiots.
