Why would anyone still want to go the USA for fun? I think the USA made it clear they don't want us foreigners anymore... just our money.

Some adventurous people intentionally want to go to North Korea too, so I guess the same kind of crowd will be visiting USA in the future. Can you go through customs with a pencil in your pocket without being sent to a torture camp? Only one way to find out.

It's gonna be like those Vice documentaries of NK from the 2010's.

Meanwhile in 2033: "Omg guys, I finally made it into America, now, we were told we couldn't film outside so we've just been leaving the camera on and carrying it aimed out of the bag..."

[โ€“] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

LOL, itโ€™s going to be so good. Canโ€™t wait to see that documentary. I wonder if they make it to the Statue of Liberty in one piece.

"Wow, look at all the busted windows..."

"Yeah, shame, think it was a Gamestop."

Yeah, because it's a #2 pencil. Cheeto demands everyone use #1 pencils, like america is #1.

[โ€“] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

And donโ€™t even think about using the wrong color pencil.

[โ€“] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

They'll sic the marines on you and they'll eat your pencil!

Last month, Turkish-American influencer Hasan Piker was reportedly detained for hours at Chicago Oโ€™Hare International Airport after returning from France. Piker claims federal agents asked him, โ€œDo you like Donald Trump?โ€

What the actual fuck?!

[โ€“] starlinguk@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Normal procedure nowadays. Why are you surprised?

[โ€“] FelixCress@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I was under impression there is still some difference between USA and North Korea but I stand corrected.

[โ€“] starlinguk@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Their leader has better hair.

[โ€“] sunbytes@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

They chased him round and round with similar questions about Israel and Hamas. He said it really felt like they were looking for an excuse to say he was a terrorist sympathiser/suspect, so they could apply terrorism laws to him.

[โ€“] rustyfish@lemmy.world 32 points 9 months ago

Itโ€™s not โ€œNo Thanksโ€. Itโ€™s a firm โ€œFuck Noโ€.

We already changed our plans for our 2027 Alaska trip to Canada.

It turns out that most people do not like hatred.

[โ€“] DarkDecay@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Most people don't like trump either

[โ€“] Aliktren@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

In this house we have a policy of not travelling to facist regimes for fun.

[โ€“] gressen@lemmy.zip 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Stop threatening me with unjustified arrest, privacy invasion etc and I will consider traveling to US again.

[โ€“] atro_city@fedia.io 13 points 9 months ago

Not even then. Don't want to get shot for looking "unamerican".

Yeah ... I may never step foot into that country again if I can help it.

Unfortunately, most of the maga hats are idiots. They'd rather lose all their money if it meant they could be more racist
