This would be a monumental step towards committing genocide. If you can strip citizenship for z, y, or z reasons, you can strip citizenship for a, b, or c reasons too. Then, you take those “noncitizens” and put them in a camp. Then you evolve your “solution” to the Jewish Non-citizen Question into a FINAL Solution.

In fact, this could ammount to a crime against humanity under the Rome Statute’s prohibition against certain types of deportation. Specifically, Article 7(1)(d)'s prohibition on deportation is defind in (2)(d), which reads:

Deportation or forcible transfer of population" means forced displacement of the persons concerned by expulsion or other coercive acts from the area in which they are lawfully present, without grounds permitted under international law.

Nazis did this exact thing to the German jews. Admittedly, the United States didn’t ratify the Rome statute, but it did sign it in 2000. I guess the Nazi cancer has been here a while. No time like the present to use a blade.

    Just a reminder that Canada just expanded citizenship; many Americans may already be dual citizens and not even realize it.

      Yeah! The thing is that fascism follows people when they flee it. When people escaped the Nazis to Austria, the Nazis followed them. Admittedly, it was for expansionist reasons, but:

      My point is Canada might not be the safe harbor it purports to be.

    If an immigrant gets one by you and goes all the way through the swearing in ceremony it sounds like you should charge them, as a US Citizen, for lying on a federal form.

        For part of one weekend day every 3-4 months… wow, so impressive…

        Get back to me when it is multiple days in a row, and more than a single digit percent of the population.

        you mean those cute marches planned on weekends to ensure they are as ineffective as possible?

        didn’t your orange pressy literally sent a vid taking a shit on all of you?

          In the alternate universe where they were held during the typical work week, I’d be expected to explain why they didn’t happen on a weekend when more people could attend. If I wanted to spend all day chasing goalposts, I’d have gone into sports.

            it’s not the size, it’s the economic impact you a want… it’s abundantly clear the regime could not care less about your opinion (hence dhe shit on you vid), but they’ll have to pay attention to bsgetting bankrupt

            If I wanted to spend all day chasing goalposts, I’d have gone into sports.

            you are really just finding excuses to feel better… it’s understandable but it will just keep people from actually doing anything that matters

        honestly, I get that… but you know it’s only going to get worse, right?

        “now” it’s hard to protest, “tomorrow” it will actually be impossible

        …and the weather. Canada in general has the same weather as the least desirable US states. There’s a reason the US didn’t take the whole shebang when fulfilling their manifesto destiny.

        I understand, but the rest of the world’s patience grows thin. You are actively destroying environmental protections for our planet and fucking up all of our economies. Meeting up every few months on a Saturday is nothing. Boycott American products, stop using your credit cards. Debt slavery is irrelevant when they snatch community members and murder them in the street. When is enough? No more complaining, most democratic states would have taken to the streets full time by this point. America is lazy and it shows. *in your defense your thugs are incredibly well armed and undertrained so I understand the fear. We aren’t organizing much better against fascism in Canada though 😒
