    It’s the fascist populist playbook in action again

    1. Campaign under “bringing things back to the old ways”
    2. Implementation of exploitation
    3. Make it harder to leave
    4. Make it harder for others to enter

      Hey, what did Canada do? Or eTA isn’t even as invasive as the EU’s proposed ETIAS, and certainly nothing approaching the anal-probe-level personal violations of the ESTA. And we need tourism. The US is fucking our economy in a massive way.

          Lol?

          Calling Europe the “civilzed world” and referring to other places as “ex-colonies” has deeply racist undertones. I am sorry that calling this out can only be seen as “ruzzian bots” by the folks in this community, especially when I have no sympathy for russia 😅.

          I guess this place ia truly becoming like reddit now. Where people downvote shit without understanding it.

      Don’t be like your enemy, be better;

      USA citizens did nothing wrong (beside voting trump but it’s not all of them ofc)

      Edit: i don’t understand why y’all want to punish every citizen od USA, even those that did not voted trump or those that are actively agains him and do protests

        It’s like saying Russian people did nothing wrong besides voting for Putin, but it’s not all of them ofc.

          I would agree if it weren’t painfully obvious the Russian elections that brought put in in weren’t heavily influenced by putin-run domestic terrorism and election fraud.

          Wait, actually, it still is a good comparison.

          Carry on.

          I am saying that not all USA citizens voted trump so they shouldn’t be punished for that, it’s like if i suddently decide to ban all german people from my country because of hitler, it just make no sense at all

            So maybe other countries should require US citizens to submit their last five years of social media history so they can block any maga idiots. ;-)

            Expect that’s exactly what should happen. If the people don’t rise up to fix the shit thats happening then they are complicit.

            The germans fought back just as much as the stupid ones helped during hitlers reign.

            Till the American people actually start fucking doing something. Then guess fucking what.

            Punish everyone.

        Collective punishment is the only way to stop stupid from putting stupid in power.

        We the people picked this. Even the ones that didn’t. Everyone is equally at fault no matter what or the circumstances.

        That’s the very fucking definition of democracy.

        We all get to enjoy the benefits when we do well and we all get punished when we fuck up. We arent a dictatorship. We can’t just blame our government for sucking.

        The people ARE at fault.

          But not ALL the people, many didn’t voted trump and many are doing protests/manifestations, not ALL people are fault.
          Doing that shit of punishing everyone who is citizen in USA is so fucking stupid and childish

    A lot of that list is just info I don’t have. I don’t even know most of my family’s current number, you expect the past?

    The IP one is hilarious. I’ve likely had hundreds of IPs in the last 5 years, and I don’t know any of them. Would you just send a range of potential options or do they expect me to know and write out hundreds of IP addresses? The total range of every carrier I’ve used in the last 5 years?

    I wonder how will they react if I say that I don’t have any social media accounts.

    But I guess I’ll keep wondering since my interest on going to that shithole has been plummetting for the last 20 years and right now is at below zero levels.

      There is zero chance I could accurately provide this information to anyone, none of my family members could, because they don’t know the phone numbers I’ve had… All around it sounds like a shit idea.

        It’s an attempt on intimidation, because supposedly for the person travelling it’s a lose-lose:

        • provide all your data, and allow the US government (and any connected entities (big tech)) to use it to track and sell that data
        • don’t provide all your data, and when the US government suspects that you did that, they can bar entry for little reason, and/or have legal grounds(/excuse) for go after you

        All around it’s a humiliation and intimidation exercise

          It’s a protectionist policy. This is designed to keep people from entering as not many will want to give out the required.

    Aren’t all EU countries on the list of visa free - waived ESTA requirements countries ? Thought that was the case? Or has that been reversed?
