yay, we can get on a covid-laden conveyance to go somewhere that also has a fascist uprising! great!

@atax1a I don't know if it applies to you in particular, but I think the general intent behind this comment is that it's a non-driver ID, that can be issued with any gender marker through self-ID, and lasts 10 years, making it a potential replacement for a state driver's license

[atax1a@infosec.exchange]

@multioculate the subtext seems to be "just in case you need to flee the USA"

[estelle@mstdn.social]

@atax1a some places have had less of a recent sustained history of ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of the property they're still intending to flip for extra money later on,

but it seems like fighting for your homeland, however tenuous, is probably easier than fighting for a new land as a migrant without just joining someone else's cause. (someone has to be left, to have a cause)

i'd love to see something from the past that did otherwise though

[estelle@mstdn.social]

@atax1a also, by joining local antifascist movements as a migrant, you may or may not be able to participate in the elections depending on their laws,

which isn't great, since fascism loves being nativist, allowing your support and your people to be undermined with the same stone.

however, it's also possible that by moving away from a bad enough place, you won't die! so, i refuse to judge anyone who does this outright.

[estelle@mstdn.social]

@atax1a a lot of voices i respect, i could hear because they moved from places that became just as bad as feared

[kevin@dice.camp]

@atax1a It does make for a valid proof of citizenship, though.

[atax1a@infosec.exchange]

@kevin and what the fuck am i going to do with that in the face of trans-exterminatory fascism?

[estelle@mstdn.social]

@atax1a (sorry if this was completely out of line. it's entirely theoretical for me anyways because i couldn't afford it anyway!)

[atax1a@infosec.exchange]

@estelle america isn't even our homeland, americans are the second occupying force after the spaniards

[rajelaran@oldbytes.space]

@atax1a yeah, I mean I intended to get one anyway as an independent form of identification, but the idea wasn't to flee.
I just have friends in other countries that I would like to visit at some point maybe, while wearing a p100 respirator the entire trip.

[rajelaran@oldbytes.space]

@atax1a there's no country that would take me as a resident anyway.

[atax1a@infosec.exchange]

@rajelaran nor us and our disabled partner!
