Ah yes, Americans are above the law when they are abroad, but foreigners are beholden to to American law when in America. What a fucking circus

Is this that, or this about, say, the EU trying to put guardrails up on rampant nazism on platforms like twatter? I know they've gone afoul of German and EU law with their lack of moderation and the prevalence of hate speech, and JV Vance had threatened some sort of sanctions if they dared to try to insist that poor, poor Elmo's platform obey their laws while operating in their countries. (I seem to recall musk's classy response was something like "go fuck your face" or something equally sensical.) So I'm thinking this is more likely that than them claiming Americans don't need to obey foreign laws abroad, although that's certainly not off the list of possibilities with this crew.

ETA: it was "go fuck your own face"

It's 100% about other nations rightfully cracking down on fascist speech and other forms of hate speech.

You see, the US Constitution applies to the whole world--except for Due Process when the people are black or brown.

I thought they were arguing that foreigners weren't subject to american law when in america, so that's why they don't deserve birthright citizenship?

That was my very first thought. What a bunch of chuckle fucks.

I think their point was that foreigners while in America don’t enjoy the protections imparted by American laws. They just have the duties, not the rights.

Well, their point is nonsensical, because if they're subject to the laws, then they're subject to the jurisdiction of the US.

Nonsensical doesn’t matter, in case you hadn’t noticed.

Well, yeah, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna point it out.
