Deport all Americans back to their native soil.

I haven't lived there in a decade and only maintain citizenship to have access to my parents in cases of emergency. Why on earth would you send me back to that hell-hole? All that accomplishes is destroying my family, my business, my wife's ability to live, etc.

That's exactly what the people being deported from the US are feeling.

The fuck does that have to do with an emigrant that hasn’t lived here in 10 years?

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 2 points 6 days ago

Indeed. It's terrible and it's also the reason we don't visit family in the US (my wife is not a US citizen and barely speaks English). I do not support it, I voted against the current administration, and I have removed as many US companies as possible from my life.

I don't agree with them, but I do see the logic. Send back a bunch Americans who saw good reason to leave and perhaps they'll be forced to try to make it more like wherever they fled to.

Or it's just vindictive "Trump deports people so we deport people" idiocy, idk

but I do see the logic.

I don't. What are they going to do? A lot of people I know who live abroad have done so for decades and have no living family in the US. All it would do is introduce a bunch of homeless people to the US and destroy lives. I voted against the current administration and disagree with everything they do. Guess they should just make my wife homeless, get my house repossessed, destroy my career, and probably just end with me killing myself because of where I was born. Must be big fans of ICEs work, I guess.

In this hypothetical scenario, maybe you could just renounce your citizenship (and stop paying taxes to the US).

In all cases, retaliation against a fascist regime will destroy lives, but it's generally the better option. I mean people suggest to stop trading with the US or crash their economy, this is not victimless either.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 1 points 6 days ago

I plan to renounce but I need to be able to help my parents if they need it. Family comes first here. I do not have to pay taxes, just file them; especially with the weak Japanese yen, I don't make enough to need to pay anything.
