Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!
I'm not a mod of any comm and I'm just a regular user. But in light of current GOP events I think we all need to be extra careful not to fedpost. We are going be under an even stronger microscope. What law enforcement (FBI, etc) views as "violent threats" is going to be far different for us than for chuds at a site like StormFront2Trump2028.com.
That's all. I don't mean to start a struggle session. I just thought it needed to be said.
Also be careful if you live in
, really any of the 
and especially 
. At least in the EU, you still have some modicum of safety because you could simply go into another EU country if you're a citizen of any of its member states. ~~Even Germany won't slam you with a decade-plus sentence and you may even have grounds to seek asylum elsewhere with evidence of persecution if push comes to shove.~~ Ireland or Spain if you're fortunate to have enough money to weather hard times, South Africa if you're extremely strapped for cash.
Edit: So Germany is emulating the US and doing Hitlerian stuff yet again, huh? Crossed out the part where it suggested there was some meager sense of safety in trying to escape to freedom, according to the reply by RedSailsFan
By the way, note that while you are 100% free to chant "Glory to Hamas, Glory to Ansar Allah" while also reciting the Sarkha and setting the piSSraeli flag on fire during the routine protest in any major South African city (which will probably be Johannesburg because that's where the plane lands and the ticket is half the price of Cape Town anyway), you aren't getting asylum in South Africa if you get arrested in Berlin for chanting the above example or your Hexbear posts get leaked. On the other hand, if you get detained/arrested for journalism, participation in now-prescribed groups under illegitimate pretences or even doxxed by pro-Zionist organisations as they become increasingly violent/emboldened, then that's a pretty solid case for asylum. Once you see the multitudes of the iridescent flags and a distinctive statue (Oliver Tambo) as a centrepiece with a Keffiyeh tied around its neck, you're home free. Someone like Tony Greenstein and Richard Medhurst would absolutely be guaranteed asylum in South Africa, should they ever choose to. It's also immeasurably safer. Permanent residency after 5 years and officially a South African citizen after another 5. A lot better and faster than 14 years of being falsely incarcerated without due process.
So Hüseyin Doğru is a citizen of Germany, with a passport and/or a EU ID (assuming they haven't been confiscated, but then again...)
What would happen if he still crossed the border, made it to Belgium after hoofing it a few kilometers and proved his EU citizen status? Are Belgian authorities going to turn him over to Germany, nullifying any prospects of challenging the EC directly or seeking asylum elsewhere?
Most inter-EU borders are very open, with border crossings being little more than a cleaner American highway rest stop, occasionally intersecting small towns with the only distinction of a border being a blue EU sign and a bilingual message advising having ID on you (Unless Germany is tightening it's EU borders because of turboracism and orders from Tel Aviv's Gestapo).
As for any other pro-Palestinian journalists within Europe, is it now a valid consideration to start forming a line in front of the nearest South African embassy?
