i am so sick of americans and their insistence that they should be allowed to speak freely
muzzle em like dogs i say
And we can't even speak freely. If you say "Fuck the troops. Fuck the police. Fuck America. Fuck Isreal. Fuck white people. Fuck billionaires. Fuck liberals. Fuck conservatives. Fuck centrists. Fuck capitalism. And especially fuck small business tyrants," you will be banned/jailed/expelled/fined/blacklisted or worse. "Free speech" in America always means "Freedom to say slurs, hate speech, and plans for enacting genocide."
Bruh we don't even have the right to tell our boss that they don't feel like family to us
i'm sure this makes sense to someone conversant in the latest right-wing persecution fad, but in practical terms, i have no clue what supposed problem this is a redress of. did someone post a tiktok of a white woman getting owned by the turkish ice cream guys?
The courts said they couldn't just restrict Harvard's admission of international students, so they're restricting admission of all international students.
Most elite universities in the US rely on higher fees paid by foreign students to balance their enormous budgets, and elite universities in general are trump adversaries, ergo this.
Even so, I cannot rightfully wrap my head around wtf he is trying to convey here.
No international students and vastly decreased research grant funding sure doesn't look good for academia
Man im really glad I work at a school that also apparently has had grievous budget issues for like two decades now hahaha
I think this is related to Brazil, Colombia, some EU countries, UK and Australia (I guess?) judges or supreme courts temporary taking down Twitter and Fining Elon Musk.
La Prensa published an Article today explaining that Bolsonaro's son has been in the US trying to get Rubio/Trump to sanction Brazil.
Bolsonaro's son under ethical and legal fire in Brazil - La Prensa (Spanish)
a birthright over which foreign governments have no authority
Setting aside the utter hypocrisy of this coming out of the mouth of an imperial statesman, is Rubio trying to argue that the laws of foreign nations do not apply to traveling Americans?
So basically US military priveleges?
International Criminal law doesn't, why not foreign law as well?
Anyone up for a prank where we get a certain famously libel-suit-happy author banned from traveling to the US?
They also kinda suspended J1 visas. I've hosted like eight exchange students, and the host agency was SURE that they wouldn't fuck with J1 because it's purely a goodwill thing. Idk why they thought this administration gave two shits about good will.
Some 60 year old CIA guy walks into a Chinese university dressed like a tiktok zoomer. He tries to bring up Uyghur genocide during a math lecture. The professor tells him to leave. He pulls out a piece of paper saying the professor has be nice and answer his questions or the US will sanction China.
At least that's how it plays out in their heads.
also the CIA guy is mayo and the Chinese students are confused as to why he's squinting really hard for some strange reason
This is 100% about that time Brazil banned xitter and fined them money, he has been seething about the judge who did it
It's now illegal to be mean to Elon Musk when he streams.
I think it's related to that. Elon has been fined, sued and had his social media temporary banned in Brazil, and some other countries, after he decided not only to refuse to obey the Brazilian Supreme Court, but to attack a conservative judge that the far-right hates bc the far-right tried to kill said judge and he ordered the arrest of the people who attempted to kill him.
They got really mad when Brazil tried to ban Xitter...
The US garden can never be independent but libs will ask me why Brazil allies with Russia and China...
Awesome! We're banning AIPAC! That's what he means, right? Because that's the only foreign organization I can think of undermining free speech in the United States.
fined, harassed, and even charged, supressing speech
thats just ye ol' fascist strategy of accusing others of doing what they themselves are doing.
specially ironic when they mention latin america. i say good riddance and fuck off, they can be a declining empire by themselves.
This is just 100% about persons who are complicit in censoring americans i.e. anyone who calls Musk a fascist isn't it. The other option to pursue foreign officials is entirely logistically nonviable because anybody in charge of it is either going to be too important to never step foot on US soil again or pretty much impossible to trace unless you do a blanket ban on people named Smith / Müller / Martin / Martinez after a true patriot shows you their local court ordered fine, jurisdiction of 20.000 people, signed by somebody with that name
how terrible
