idk if the “lie” claim is the best language they could have used since there seems to be a few sources supporting it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Winnie-the-Pooh_in_China
that said, obligatory fuck tankies but this is a good meme and fuck ICE.
EDIT CONTEXT: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/06/25/norwegian-tourist-jd-vance-meme/
ICE and CBP claim the guy was denied entry for drug use. I don’t fucking believe them personally after stories like Khaby Lame essentially being forced to self-deport after some racist MAGA kid decided personally getting him deported was a good move.
But u know we all about honesty in this joint so
USA is now fasist country
70 citizens deported, likely more
nursing mothers separated from their kids
elderly people in wheelchairs zip tied for demonstrating for lifesaving medicaid
Citizens arrested for protesting genocide
state sponsored masked thugs roaming the streets intimidating and kidnapping people
IIRC, that 70 US citizens deported by ICE statistic was from prior to Trump II. The current authoritarian secret police have definitely more than doubled that number in 3 months, I reckon.
I feel heartbroken for my Ameribros. We were so close, once. But I started boycotting you when you reelected Bush in 2004, pausing only briefly for a few years before the Tea Party took over in the Obama years. My passport expired over a decade ago and I haven’t needed to renew it.
I hope you all make it out of this okay! And that you don’t take us down with you.
Always have been.
Wait… “finds meme on phone”? Does that mean people are required to give phones for a check up when entering US?
incoherent mumbling privacy… more incoherent mumbling
Apparently they also demanded his phone password with the threat of a $5k fine or 5 years in prison. I always thought you had the right to stay silent when it came to passwords but idk if that’s any different since he’s Norwegian. Shits fucked.
Have been for years
Yeah, decades even
Is he now in some prison in central America, or did he go back to Norway?
updated. to answer your original question, he was denied entry which is not deportation. so he’s in norway.
oof there’s a snopes post let me update the description
That’s some commitment to getting the Vance meme into every news outlet.

With the new policy in the visa application process, that will no longer be as effective. If you have to provide your social media profiles and make them public before entering the country, they already know who to pick out in case you said/liked/posted something that the regime doesn’t like.
why is that picture staring into my soul like a chucky photo?

I think you can say kill. Killing nazis is always cool.
Well the point here is not that China is cool and based actually, but that people definitely did some lying on this point and those same people definitely think it means that any and all forms of communism are authoritarian and there is no alternative to capitalism.
There has to be some percentage of people who let this be the thing that radicalises them, and I don’t want to hear any doomer takes about how these people are impossible to reach. I’ve heard loads of stories over the years of this or that particular moment being the moment that snapped someone out of their fascist sympathies.
