Dissent
Being queer 🫠
Republicans want to redefine transgenderism as “gender identity fraud”. RFK wants to send neurodivergent people to labor camps. You do the math.
Being queer 🫠
Breathing.
Who honestly knows at this point in time?
protesting
Already illegal in China and Russia to name a few, no need to wait 50 years for this to happen
its gone beyond protesting, protesting is active, Im not so sure about China, but Russia is so far gone in it’s forever war mentality that its gone straight into thoughtcrime now.
And in the UK
Mentioning climate change. Seems every government is backtracking on it.
Computers and phones that don’t have locked bootloaders. You know how North Korean phones and computers alert the State every time a disallowed file is accessed or the user does something that doesn’t align with The Ideology? It’s going to be like that. Civilian ownership of machine tools will of course be banned on a “possession = incarceration” basis and not just banning sales. Air conditioning won’t become all-out illegal but it will be regulated as rigorously as gun ownership in countries outside the US are, most people wont have lawful access to it anymore and the ones that do only get to cool things down to survivable temperatures and not comfortable temperatures. People will be running illegal refrigerant labs in their basement and making illegal thermostat modchips and everything.
There’s no way the US isn’t going to eventually criminalize all positive drug tests (like many other shithole countries have done including Japan, China and Singapore) once they reverse the last 40 years of marijuana reform and then punish everyone who had any part in it. Having been involved in the cannabis industry is going to be like having been a Jew in 1930s Germany. Same with being transgender, lgbt, or neurodivergent. It goes without saying that not being a maga christian will someday become a “get sent to a torture camp” offense as well. All porn will become as illegal as csam currently is. Cars won’t actually get banned but the non elite class will lose access to them all the same because the government will enable corporations to continue colluding to do price fixing and generating fake scarcity. The lucky ones with prestigious State Approved science or military jobs may be able to petition to be allowed to buy one under government assistance (which is really just an unfairly priced loan in disguise) with a multi-year waiting list similar to how the car situation in the Soviet Union was. Driving rights will likely be tied to ideological alignment in some extent. At the very least, testing positive for nonphysoactive metaboltics of any banned substance will be treated the same as a dui but being lgbt, neurodivergent or non-christian may be also be punished the same as a dui becuase they’d argue it’s “moral impairment” or some shit.
Voting for anyone outside of The Party during our fake elections will of course be a big no-no. The delusional decisions leading to all of this are also going to result in food shortages and mass starvation. People living in strategically important population centers may experience less hardship on average, just like in the Soviet Union. Of course toilet paper is a thing we’ll all have to learn to live without sooner or later.
A long time ago learning skills like machining and chemistry while stockpiling guns and ammo would have been the thing to do but good people have become such a minority that I fear the best we can do is make the most of the time we have left before things get a lot harder and a lot less… worthwhile.

I’m a trans Latina in a gay relationship. My partner and I already fled the US due to the current administration.
Being queer in the US is already like being queer during the early stages of Hitler’s reich. Being brown means that you’re at risk of getting deported to a torture camp in a country you have no connection to. I’m sorry but I fail to see the difference.
All I know is that I hate these bigots, everyone who supports them, and everyone who doesn’t disagree with them with every ounce of my being. I don’t think I truly understood the meaning of “hatred” up until the last couple of years when the majority of the fucking population decided engaging in ideological warfare for the fascist agenda was what they believed in.
Death to fascism.
Death to fascism.

Unless they ban washing private parts with water or water access gets restricted.
If right-wing nutjobs keep running the government I am going to say “birth control” and “sodomy” are on the chopping block. Hopefully by 50 years this won’t still be the issue but its what they want now. Just to note that the old “sodomy” laws made everything that wasn’t PIV illegal. So if you like oral sex that will be illegal now. Sorry everyone no more fun
Private ownership.
Why would you even want this, when you can book it as a service without all the hassles and this highly criminal “privacy”. What are you? A drug dealer? A pedophile? Both?Ah yes. the rise of neo-communism. Soon the circle will be complete.
Living in an “unchristian” way in any form, be it being an atheist, LGBTQ+, etc.
This is what arson is for.
FOSS running directly on metal
Cash. Every transaction will be online, so it can be tracked
Encryption. For the poors, that is.
It still sounds so insane. Imagine it being illegal for us two to share some public keys. It’s like banning fundamental maths
That already exists in one setting, the field of nuclear weapons design. See born secret.
Well okay then, use steganography.
Secure Space Encryptor (https://paranoiaworks.mobi/) is one that I know and they have source code published, although I personally don’t understand coding so I can’t guarantee how secure it is, but its been out for like a decade and I haven’t heard anything bad about it, and its on F-Droid.
They won’t know you are secretly sending an encoded “ATTACK AT DAWN” message hidden inside the cute cat photo. (I mean unless they just shut down the entire communications infrastructure and even ban mailing stuff, which is unfeasible because of the economy)
They’ll use ai to do pattern matches on available data to assassinate leaders of dissent or those capable of organizing resistance. Knowledge of encryption is uncommon enough of a population to be an acceptable cost.
Leaving your house without your papers and government issued ID.
In the Netherlands that’s already a thing for anyone aged 14 and up
Really so if your walking your dog you need your ID?
In Germany it‘s similar. You are required to have an ID with you. It’s not strictly illegal though to not have it on you but if you happen to have business with police (be it an accident, random traffic stop or you having part in illegal activities), when you don’t have it on you, they can make you come to the police station with them to confirm your identity, even if they wouldn’t otherwise.
You are required to be able to ID yourself, “Ausweispflicht”, but that does not require you to carry your physical ID with you when leaving your house, it just requires you to own said ID once you reach the age of 16.

The cops will still take you with them to the station when you don’t have an ID to show if they ask for it. You are by law required to identify yourself with a physical ID.
So yes, while it’s not illegal to not carry your ID on you, it’s still to your own detriment if you cannot produce it.
Not exactly, there are some requirements but if they’re met (you commit an offense, or in high suspicion, e-bike controls), and you can’t show ID it’s a fine
But essentially yes
And it hurts absolutely nobody.
Turns out, the problem isn’t carrying ID, the problem is US cops.
Lots of butt hurt Americans downvoting here
I don’t usually like SovCits, but like maybe we should really start popularizing SovCit movements. 🤔
I always had some sympathy with them. It just seems like they want off this awful capitalistic treadmill we find ourselves on. Everyone always laughs and belittles them, but I’m always rooting for em just a lil bit
Are they anti-capitalist or anti-government? Maybe some are both, but it seems like many of these types are probably capitalist and don’t want the government to get in the way of corporations screwing people.
I doubt they would be able to articulate the difference between ant capitalist vs government. They’re just giant whiny man babies.
SovCits are not noble campaigners fighting against injustice. They are idiots deluded enough to think they’ve found the cheat code to the legal system by spouting the right string of nonsense.
They’re desperate and aware there’s something wrong with the system they’re in, without having the education or experience to realize that the people running it don’t actually care about the rules.
If they went and lived in some remote mountain village or something I wouldn’t mind.
But they claim all of this while driving without a licence or insurance. Would you be as sympathetic to their cause if they hit your car and cause serious damage?
I sort of understand their point but they’ve also been unimaginably selfish and entitled and that’s the part I can’t get behind. Also every single one of them is, without fail, an utter moron.
Don’t forget a huge part of the movement is people trying to evade child support
Or, you know, just being alive without them.
Civillian use of Drones.
I’m very certain there’s gonna be a 9/11-like terrorist attack involving drones and then governments all around the world are gonna get extremely paranoid and just ban it unless you get a special permit that only big corporations can get.
I’m honestly surprised we haven’t seen an assassination by drone from a nonstate actor yet. It’s cheap, would subvert many of the protections aimed at stopping shooters, and security likely wouldn’t react in time or have the equipment to effectively stop it.

There was the 2018 Caracas drone attack. Though that one is somewhat muddy in whether it actually was an assassination attempt or a false-flag attack done by the government itself.
That is interesting. I bet it was a legitimate attack, but the government’s attempt to cover up their embarrassment (particularly the fleeing “guard”) has muddied the water, as any cover-up will do. I must have missed that one at the time.
We don’t have the clearance. 🤷🏼♂️
