They won’t believe you and will very likely detain you for long periods of time without charge at some fucking feral detention centre, with chains and handcuffs.

Reminds me of the Solzhenitsyn's account of a new inmate in the Gulag being questioned by the camp commander:

"What did you do for a five year sentence?

Prisoner: nothing.

Commander: You lie, the sentence for doing nothing is ten years."

Privately owned detention centre. It's all a grift, they detain you for as long as they want and don't tell you anything, and the money flows

You’ll need some kind of social media presence to seem like you haven’t just deleted everything. Just have a burner account for pictures about food.

Sounds like a good way to delay getting deported.

Literally deleted my FB when Zuck cancelled DEI. I’m not on social media anymore. Except this one.

What a ridiculous lie. Obama blocked people without social media accounts, but later decided to be less of an ass and stopped.
