They "promise" to stop harassing you if you do it. Do you take this deal?

Sorry, my thoughts have been spiraling.

I'll take a break. Sorry, didn't mean to be annoying lol. It's just that there are questions that come to mind and I just have the urge to ask it to get it off my mind.

You're not annoying at all. Actually I'm happy to see activity. I mean are you worried about being persecuted as a dissident?

I'm an American Citizen, but I wasn't born here, and I have been criticizing both my current government and my former government.

So I'm just afraid that one day, I'd have to either: (1) Be forced to recant all anti- 2025-US-administration/anti-trump comments, Or (2) If I get deported to my former country (which I no longer have citizenship in btw), I'd have to recant my anti-CCP comments, and do the public apology and all that stuff.

Both scenario would make me very uncomfortable. But it could become reality. So I kinda just wanna hear some perspectives.

Are you posting under your real name? Have you taken step to protect your identity?

LOL that's the Steins;Gate Main Character's Pseudoname 🤣

You should watch it.

And no, I never posted political opinions under my real name. I did have like a reddit account without using a VPN, but my opinions were less "spicy" and it was mostly anti-CCP oriented rather than anti-US-administration. The account has been since deleted.
