No. I can't. And probably neither can most of us. That's part of the plan. Anybody among us could be disappeared into the gulags.

Can’t do any better than my birth certificate.

If that’s no good then no

Probably but that’s because I’m privileged to have a space secure enough to store the magic documents that mean I’m allowed to occupy the volume required for me.

Nations are dumb and imaginary.

And when ICE says your passport or birth certificate is fake and they confiscate it?

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I’ll guess I’ll die.

Magic isn’t real and you shouldn’t expect it to protect you.

I have all my various types of IDs going back to high school. State, student, passports, two birth certs, name change paperwork, old and new social security card. I've got so many ways to prove my identity. They'd probably just steal my shit and lose it then say I must be lying

Probably not without a ton of money and the willingness to pretend to be one...

I could pretend I like guns and don't know what a meter is. Would that be enough?

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

You mean like a parking meter?

How can you do anything if you're detained by ICE? If you have your birth certificate or passport in a safety deposit box you can't access it when you are detained.

There was a guy who had his US passport card on him. ICE still detained him, claiming it was fake. And they're desperately trying to get rid of due process, so there's no opportunity to correct them.

Could you really prove anything, reality is relative and all.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I'd rather tell them to get fucked. Though, not sure if have the stones.

I don't see posts with apologies to sovcits for ridiculing them. Not the part about somehow proving you don't owe money, but the anti-centralist parts.
