@Strandjunker right signs.

People pay a lot to watch soccer, but when they're not allowed?...

Actual 1930's Nazi German fascism in the current 2026 United States. No simulation and no drill, it is real fascism.

Women especially should be wary of traveling here to the deep-surveillance rape nation of dumb white holy alpha boys. These creeps will stalk strangers around the planet by the dozens now, you can bet.
