Can someone send me a direct link to his post?

If you want to live a happy life in the US right now, make sure your parents are in Russia.

I can't wait for these brave visionaries to build capitalism and white supremacy in Europe. \s

It seems like the administration is trying to discourage travel across the border. Not just people on work visas, tourists and even citizens are reporting being detained. It's like East Germany or something.

Citizens too? I've not heard of that. Scary

Yeah, I read it yesterday I think. US citizen lives in Las Vegas and her German boyfriend comes to visit. They travel to Mexico and then were both detained on the way back in. She was released within days, he spent weeks even after volunteering to just go back to Germany. Fucking nuts.

Thats fucked, I'm gonna look for that story. I've been seeing lots of stuff (even locally in a relatively progressive state) about trans folks' documents being confiscated and/or destroyed when they try to leave or get a new or updated passport or sometimes other docs iirc. Please don't come here, to anyone thinking about it. Period. Unless you're planning to stay a while and help us out, I don't recommend it but we will be needing all the help we can get :(

Why would the US need scientists when they have stable geniuses?

The US is trading science and reason for zeal and faith. At least the scientists will be welcomed in the EU.

Didn't Albert Einstein flee Nazi Germany which advanced our research into what became the atomic bomb. Hmm... Should be fun century for USA.

[–] monarch@lemm.ee 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hoping that they flee to somewhere that leads to fusion energy and not cheap rods of god.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 4 points 6 days ago

Rods from God require space infra no one has and won't for a long while

Time for scientists to leave the nazi country, just like they left nazi Germany in the 30s and 40s

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 5 days ago

Not to mention the nazi scientists... Nobody wants to talk about them...

Y'all act like this wasn't the plan all along

[–] prex@aussie.zone 49 points 1 week ago (8 children)

We need a name for the opposite of operation paperclip.

I hope he's already put of the country before he posted that, or he'll be stopped and disappeared for being a security risk or something

[–] amos@mander.xyz 48 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Why is this in the "memes" community? It is not a meme, is it? We should have a general discussion community for topics like these! (if it doesn't exist already).

Check the sidebar. We use the Dawkins definition of meme here.

[–] amos@mander.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

I stand corrected! Thank you!
