I think the argument was that if your parents are not naturalized citizens, then that means they’re not ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof’. So like, if the parents ‘owe allegiance’ to their previous country then it makes the kid a citizen of the parents’ original country, and not the U.S.

But it’s all actually bullshit to try and justify not wanting brown people to be U.S. Citizens tbh.

I saw a person trying to all caps “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” screaming that this specific clause somehow is the piece that excludes birthright citizenship because something something loyalty to other countries?

This gives “the fuckin loser on the playground that thinks he’s hot shit, goes to start a fight and then screams no fighting no fighting!! before the person can hit back.”

Yeah, that can 100% happen. You can even get people drunk through hypnosis. They know there’s no alcohol involved but they’ll still feel it. I’ve done it as a party trick plenty of times.

Yeah, that’s something I keep hearing, that it like, picks up in season 3, but I guess like… If a media only starts to get good halfway through the entire thing, I don’t know how interested I am in it, personally.

I’m genuinely glad that you enjoyed it when you got through it though! Maybe one day if I’ve got nothing else on my watch list I’ll give it another go.

Me with Breaking Bad. Couldn’t get past the first season

You’re not going to engage in it because there is literally no defending what he’s doing.

Let me be clear, you are doing nothing wrong.

Your partner should not be seeking relationships with someone your age, and he knows why. Even just in this post you’ve already demonstrated how he uses his vastly different living situation and superior power dynamic to groom and entrap you.

This is dangerous, this is unhealthy, you’re being groomed, and you should get outta there as soon as you can. As soon as you need it, we’ll all be there to help you and get you the resources you need.
