    I’ve heard this a bit. Treason is a crime against your own country, no? How is this treason?

      He’s twarthing the war effort of a country the US is supporting. I don’t know if he broke any laws but he’s defenitely on the government’s shitlist now.

            Reddit doesn’t own GOT memes. Please head on back to anywhere other people aren’t with your “I decide what memes are allowed on Lemmy” bullshit.

                    Sounds to me like you’re the one crying, what with your inability to cope with people using expressions you don’t like around you 🤷

                    As for who’s gatekeeping that’s so clearly you that it can be seen from space

      It’s not. His actions can be deplorable without actually being illegal. The Lemmy Bar Association is about as legally competent as my cat.

      So if during the occupation of Afghanistan, I fought for the Taliban but only killed Afghan Army soldiers, I could return to the USA without any worries?

      Giving comfort to the enemy has a name, what is it again?

        US is not at war with Russia so it is not treason.

        Jeez, people in this thread are hysterical.

            If Russia wants to be at war with the US, they can issue a war declaration.

            They haven’t so far, and they know why.

            US is in a proxy war-- totally different to an actual war. Was the Soviet Union at war with the US when the former funded and trained North Vietnam during the Vietnam War?

                Of course people would say that. As much as I dislike Elon, he can’t be charged for treason because the US is not at war. The best that the US and allies could do is break contract with him or isolate him politically. But he’s rich and well connected so I doubt anything will happen to him.

                  I wasn’t commenting on Elon this time, but on proxy wars. I’m aware he can’t be charged with treason, and that his money would get him out of any charges that might otherwise stick.
