Congrats on confirming that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

That's true, starting from this year. I couldn't find more information about this through primary sources of how tedious it is compared to your average long-and-arduous visa procedures that Global South countries are subjected to, but it appears to be a relatively quick non-process: https://www.axa-schengen.com/en/visa/visit-schengen/usa#1

The reason for his deportation wasn't because "he didn't have a visa" like the original comment purported as one of the points, or a lack of a visa-waiver for that matter. It was clear-cut "he's too brown for our liking" but with glitter all over.

If that's the conclusion you've arrived at after reading nazi-friendly content, then you're probably a nazi too.

Ali Abunimah was born and raised in the U.S., so we can safely assume he possesses the U.S. citizenship and passport. What does Switzerland's official immigration website have to say about U.S. citizens? Oh yeah, that's right, you get full-on red carpet drawn for you:

And if the state designates an organization as a terrorist group, then that's that right? We can just throw away our critical thinking (assuming we had any in the first place) and let the state known for rubbing elbows with nazis do the thinking for us, right? Piss off with that racist bullshit.

there are other things, where USA is dependent on Europe.

Please elaborate.. Last I checked, other than imposing imperial interests for the US' behalf, I can't recollect a single concrete thing that the US needs the EU for.

you were talking to someone who sincerely believes men should be castrated because they've committed the bulk of all crimes, I'd say time could've been saved from reply number 1.

Didn't you know? Usonians are in front of mirrors at all times, spew incoherent garbage nonsense about social credit scores, china genocideded muslims and 500 gorillion homeless then pretend they don't recognize themselves in the process.

yes, normally that would be dumb and stupid.. but guess what's dumber and stupider? It's entertaining this widely debunked copium, which is very much encapsulated with this dumb ad.

So glad Kermit the Frog's included in the monthly men's magazine as a part of your damning "proof", just in case anyone gets bored and wants to take a break from the US State Department slop you're serving

Rebecca Vincent, who heads RSF’s campaigns, has no doubts: “We have tracked case of authorities forcing journalists to disclose passwords or otherwise interfering with their devices in every region of the world, from western democracies to more authoritarian regimes”

why is the word "authoritarian" such a fan-favorite in the west to describe everyone but themselves.... the word itself doesn't make sense.. wouldn't it mean every governing body of every country is "authoritarian"?

The British police do not dispute that Medhurst is a journalist and that the seized phones are tools used in the journalistic profession, the problem is that they nevertheless demand access to the data [...]

it's like they didn't bother to put up a mask.. "don't care, didn't ask"

Here's an exercise for you that may require critical thinking (which evidently, you seem very averse to): Can you list out things that are invalid, dishonest and/or blatantly false in the article? Ensure to quote the parts that fit this category of "invalid, dishonest and/or false" and justify why, while citing sources that you believe to not be in this category.

Projection is a hell of a drug.

I've re-read this several times and I still don't have the slightest clue to what you're referring to, lib. It's clear-as-day that you're just another "They hate us for our freedom" folks and don't actually care about freedom or privacy for all.

What "healthy European" freedom looks like:

• West votes against democracy, human rights, cultural diversity at UN; promotes mercenaries, sanctions
• West opposes rest of world in UN votes for fairer economic system, equality, sustainable development
• China condemns ‘racist’ Western hypocrisy over Ukraine: You ignore victims in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Palestine
• Pro-Palestine activists are under attack in Europe
• Censorship in Europe: Major Palestinian news channels banned on Telegram
• Two months after elections, Macron refuses to nominate progressive prime minister
• Facebook and Instagram Restrict the Use of the Red Triangle Emoji Over Hamas Association
• The 10 European countries that restrict religious attire for Muslim women
• EU court allows conditional headscarves bans at work
• Refugees who died off Italy 10 years ago remembered as new crisis flares
• Poland: Digital investigation proves Poland violated refugees’ rights
• Poland: Abortion Witch Hunt Targets Women, Doctors

What "healthy European" privacy looks like:

• The EU Funds Surveillance Around the World: Here's What Must be Done About it
• AI mass surveillance at Paris Olympics – a legal scholar on the security boon and privacy nightmare
• Investigation of the use of Pegasus and equivalent surveillance spyware
• 20 biggest GDPR fines so far [2024] (the fines in question are negligible, and only serve to line the pockets of the rich)
• Female health apps aren’t doing enough to protect sensitive data, study says

Thank you

I don't know where to post this, but I thought I'd share on my friend's behalf as the situation gets desperate by the minute.

If you can, please help by donating to her aunt's family who are stranded in the northern part of Lebanon, who couldn't take a whole lot with them, who barely escaped in time: https://zrzutka.pl/shpjea#.

And if you can't, please share this with someone who can. If this is the wrong place to post this, please point me to the right direction. Thank you.
