[…] because of immigration and gender identity policies

That headline kind of undersells it a little. From an outside perspective (inside too I’m sure), the USA looks really fucked up and a dangerous place to travel to. I’m not a game dev but still, you couldn’t pay me to travel there

Whenever someone suggests I might travel to the US, I picture myself dying in some deportation prison. Why would I want that?

Especially with the stuff I write here I’m terrified of having to go there for work or something very important like that.

Do not worry fellow internetter, there is nobody compiling a detailed dossier of your online presence to provide to border agents upon your arrival.

Please continue to freely speak derogatorily of the regime in places easily accessible to us friendly internetters, safe in the knowledge that you are definitely not on a very real watch list, compiled by people who genuinely want to hurt you, if only you’d come close enough for them to do so…

Just refuse to go. There’s no way they can force you to do that and it would be a slam dunk for an unfair dismissal if they decided to really dig their heels in.

I’ll admit you probably could pay me, but it would have to be enough money that I or my family would not have to worry about money for the next couple of centuries.

Who wants to get rapped, left to die in a pig pen while being tortured, and/or executed on the streets because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and the ICE agent felt like murdering someone.

Of the four people I know in Australia who travel to the US semi regularly, not one is concerned at all, 3 of the 4 support Trump and the other one thinks it’s overblown media hyperbole. All white folks. These aren’t friends per se but acquaintances.

Regularly as.on at.least.omce every year and occasioanly twice.

Yet. Give it some time, they are already murdering model white citizens.

Pretty soon the US dollar is going to tank to the point at which no one is going to be able to afford to buy games. So there was zero point me putting my life at risk in order to advertise there.

What could IS have changed? I mean I’d agree that they are fucked up, but what did they fuck up concerning the current state of the USA? Were you expecting them to create a califate in north america?
