    So, if 1% of idiots travel to USA and get their DNA taken & saved in a database, estimations say, that 100% of EU citizens could be identified, if I’m not wrong.

    This is so f*cking scary. But it already was before with this 23andme or FamilyTreeDNA-shit.

    If that’s the case, the EU should do the same for US visitors, especially for the Russian supporting MAGA fucks.

      We could do in Europe what the US does, which is ask if you’re an anarchist or terrorist, in this case: “did russia invade Ukraine illegally, do you consider it a crime, or should russia redraw european borders unilaterally?”. If they say yes: ban them, if they say no…and later are found saying yes: ban them for perjury on an official entry form…

    This seems like an effort to generate kompromat on every tourist to the US.

    Names and addresses of every family member.

    Probably an outrageous amount of access to your phone, it directly mentions location services.

    10 years of emails, and 5 years of social media.

    Biometric data and DNA samples.

    The amount of espionage you could use this for is staggering. And I garuantee Palantir will get its hands on it.

        I can’t imagine there are very many people doing this. You can just go to the one in Paris for a fraction of the cost and travel time. You can’t see the Grand Canyon in Europe, though.

          Europe is far, FAR less populous than the rest of the world mate. ~450m people vs. the rest of the world’s 6 billion brainwashed into the mouse house propaganda that they should visit.

          But good on you. Don’t spend money in the US please, the only way to show these fucks is to hit their profits.

            No, sorry, I said “Europe” because that’s what the post was saying. What I meant (and probably should have said) is: US-Americans are uniquely fascinated with Disney parks. Sure there are also parks in other countries, and I am sure there are some people traveling to the US to go to Disney parks specifically, but this being the first and foremost example for “reasons why people might go to the US” is just funny to me.

      scary

      Define fascism and then check how much was already fulfilled 10 or 20 years ago.

      Also check the biography of German chancelor Merz, especially his former employer.

      * Downvotes for what? This is not a pro fascism comment.

      To answer my questions, most requirements of fascism are already fulfilled so we are mostly just dropping the fassade. This includes Europe because Merz has worked for Blackrock, so his worldview very likely supports the neoliberal approach that is also driving the US.

    Why? Like seriously what does the idiot think he’s going to achieve with all of this. Because it seems like the republicans are speed running political irrelevance.

    It doesn’t matter how many idiots they get to vote for them if the US dollar ceases to be the world currency because of all their stupid decisions. They’ll end up being in charge of an barely populated (ironically everybody with any brains immigrated) unproductive wasteland with crumbling infrastructure. I’m sure the great and wealthy will love living in that world.

      Why?

      These assumptions are not so inevitable considering how the US can compensate them:

      if the US dollar ceases to be the world currency

      Fascism helps to fight the wars that prevent anybody from dropping the dollar. Libya and Iraq don’t have to be the last ones.

      They’ll end up being in charge of an barely populated unproductive wasteland

      Not if Europe doesn’t have enough energy for their industries and has to shift them to the US. It hurts to see, but that’s what is happening.

      Downvoters, why does this not answer OP’s question?

        Why would Europe move manufacturing to the US. It would be just as expensive as in Europe, if you were to move manufacturing elsewhere it would be to India.
