Especially, whem taking into the account of a possible change of regime in their new country that coulds result in deportation back to their former country. Is this a common fear?

I was born in Mainland China, and I immigrated to the USA as a child, and I have Derivative US Citizenship.

Now the US's own Autocratization is bringing up a lot of fears.

For one, of couse I could end up in a concentration camp, similar to what happened to Japanese Americans during WW2.

But also, I could lose citizenship due to the current administration's hostility and xenophobia, and end up getting deported.

And I fucking despise the CCP, since they fucking tried to kill me before I was even born (long story short: One Child Policy; I was the second child, they tried to locate my mother when she had the second pregnancy, they didn't find her so here I am). I have talked so much shit about the CCP while in the US, IRL and online, if the CCP has a competent intelligence agency (which they do), then they already know that I'm a dissident and my life would be miserable if I get deported to China.

So there is few possibilities, if I lose citizenship status.

I could end up stateless. Which is terrible.

I could end up in China. Which is absolutely horrifying.

Or I could end up in Guantanamo, or some other country trump has negotiated with to take deportees, which is just... fucking the worse possible timeline.

I mean, just look at recent news. Anyone deemed "pro-hamas" would get deported.

Honestly, these thoughts is why I have never really attended a protest in the US. I know Lemmy would call me a coward, and I probably am a coward. But I just never feel safe anywhere. You know the saying "when in rome, do as roman do". So yea, I just never feel like I'm really I can speak out against the injustice in the US, I know the "First Amendment" and all that, but doesn't mean much when the president actively disrespects the constitution.

I don't even know if shitposting on Lemmy is safe either, but hopefully this is not on the US government's top of the list.

So yea, the autocrats won. They've already made me too scared to dissent (other than online shitposts that will do absolutely nothing).

(I don't meet any eligibility to immigrate to the EU, so not an option either)

Too long to fit in the title...

Question: In such timeline, Do you think you would grow up to become pro-government or anti-government? Why?

So, basically, the point of the question is: Do you think your political beliefs are shaped mostly by your DNA, or by the environment you grew up in?

For example: If you are an anarchist in this timeline, would you have been a government sympathizer had you been born in an environment where dissent is suppressed worldwide?

My Answer: Honestly, I'm not sure, but I have a lot of rebellious nature of me, I think that's just who I am, I think that's already part of my DNA. I highly doubt I would be pro-government, but probably also be much more afraid of the government in that timeline than in current timeline.

Like Accelerationism, but in social media. If we do that, what remains of reddit will be the worst of the worse racists and nazis. Therefore, reddit will have the same reputation as twitter, and thus, no one would want to advertise on there anymore.

I mean, you can't just say "spez is a nazi" because the neoliberals would just say you are "over-reacting".

So how about we just go all the way and make the place too toxic even for neoliberals?

Think of this like 5d chess, and recruitment for Lemmy.

If you are 75% good, your counterpart will be 75% evil.

If you are 99% good, your counterpart will be 99% evil.

What do you do if you meet your evil counterpart?

So Snowflake is apparantly harder to censor? But if I run a Snowflake on my home internet, and my home internet never changes its IP address (my home internet has the same IP address for like months at a time), so once a goverment finds out my IP, they would block it, so its not much different from a Tor Bridge?

How is Snowflake harder to censor? Can someone explain it?

An autocratic country could easily spread propaganda in the democratic country, because of "free speech" rules that most democratic countries have, but a democratic country cannot easily spread its propaganda in the autocratic country.

An autocratic country can buy an election in the democratic country, but the democratic country cannot easily coup an autocratic country.

Are all democracies are doomed to fail?

Is the future of humanity, autocracy? For the rest of humanity's existence?

I have a feeling they're gonna charge like $200 to $400 more then blame the regulators.

Where do I find cyanide btw?

If you murdered every murderer, you should get enough points to go to The Good Place, right?

Hypothetically speaking of course. I'm obliged by lemmy.world rules to state that I do not condone murder. 😉

Especially in cases of Naturalization.

Like, if the monarch goes against the constitution, do you fight for the monarch, or defend the parliament/cabinet?

🤔

Edit:

UK Oath:

I, (name), swear by Almighty God that, on becoming a British citizen, I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles III, his Heirs and Successors, according to law.

Canada (A British Commonwealth) Oath:

I swear (or affirm) That I will be faithful And bear true allegiance To His Majesty King Charles the Third King of Canada His Heirs and Successors And that I will faithfully observe The laws of Canada Including the Constitution Which recognizes and affirms The Aboriginal and treaty rights of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples And fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen.

So...

🤔

I mean on the one hand, they are more democratic than the US, on the other hand, symbolically, it just feels wrong to me.

I don't mind pledging allegience to a constitution, but to a monarch... is quite... uncomfortable, even if its a Constitutional Monarchy. 🤔
