This would be a monumental step towards committing genocide. If you can strip citizenship for z, y, or z reasons, you can strip citizenship for a, b, or c reasons too. Then, you take those “noncitizens” and put them in a camp. Then you evolve your “solution” to the Jewish Non-citizen Question into a FINAL Solution.

In fact, this could ammount to a crime against humanity under the Rome Statute’s prohibition against certain types of deportation. Specifically, Article 7(1)(d)'s prohibition on deportation is defind in (2)(d), which reads:

Deportation or forcible transfer of population" means forced displacement of the persons concerned by expulsion or other coercive acts from the area in which they are lawfully present, without grounds permitted under international law.

Nazis did this exact thing to the German jews. Admittedly, the United States didn’t ratify the Rome statute, but it did sign it in 2000. I guess the Nazi cancer has been here a while. No time like the present to use a blade.

    Cool, go try living there. But maybe visit the Canada comms first to find out how expensive it is there. Cuz you’re gonna be in for a big sticker shock! lol

      Good point; I already live here. Some places are more expensive than others, but you can expect San Fransisco-style prices for things, not Cleveland-style prices.

      Am Canadian, can confirm. Can’t exactly compare to American prices since I’m not American and also haven’t visited in years, but it is very expensive to live here, at least in any medium or large city. Smaller towns aren’t too bad for housing costs, but then grocery and gas prices go up. There’s places that are reasonable in certain aspects but then they’re very expensive in others. I’ve got family all across the country, literally coast to coast and north to south. West coast of BC to east coast of Newfoundland, northern stretches of Iqaluit to southern tip of Ontario and everywhere in between, and no one has a low cost of living all around. I’m sure there’s places cheaper than something like NYC or LA or something but overall I’d guess Canada is probably more expensive than most of the US.

        Thank you. I am seeing more and more posts talking about how terrible the US is, but most of the nicer places people want to go to, Norway, Canada, England, etc, are actually more expensive than the US and hard to live in full-time if they have no family there. Which I guess doesn’t really matter, because most people saying they will move from the US, don’t. And those that do, will find out real fast. lol

        Not to mention the US is huge, but most of Lemmy seems to live in big cities. The US has lots of rural towns where cost of living is low. But then Lemmy will cry that they’d be bored. So… lmao

        I live in a small very affordable town, but since it’s small, there are no “No Kings” rallies or meetups where people wear vegan clothes and talk about how much capitalism sucks, so most of Lemmy would hate it. People in my own, work, go to the park and eat ice cream after work, and have bbq’s on the weekend and hang out on porches and talk. No driveby shootings, no drugs, etc. Lemmy doesn’t want people to know that this is actually how most of the US is. lol

          You are describing essentially every urban area in the US. Stop buying the propaganda.

            Oh! Ok, so the US isn’t a warzone deadzone of people fighting off the police in the streets like Lemmy tries to tell me it is!? It’s not people starving and dying in the streets all because of Trump? It’s not masses of people being round up by Trump to go to special camps?!

            Good! I think more Lemmys should post about the park and ice cream runs rather than try to portray as an awful country.

            I agree with you, guy.

                But wasn’t your point to assure me that every city US is not people starving and dying in the streets all because of Trump? It’s not masses of people being round up by Trump to go to special camps?

                I don’t understand your message then.

                  Clearly.

                  See, you fucked up by pretending that people committing/targetted by drive-by shootings are even close to the same people that are being rounded up by ICE.

          Yeah I lived in a small town for a while too. My friend worked as a PCA taking care of disabled adults in a care home. When he came out as trans, he got death threats and hit by cars multiple times while biking - and as someone who was stealth and also biked, those were absolutely murder attempts.

          Also most small towns in the US have meth problems. It’s easier to ignore, but it’s still rampant.

          Fuck your small town full of bigoted assholes and meth.
