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.”

And the amount of “omg I stimmed in this public place!” That are then videos of them just being dicks and pretending that this “uncontrollable movement” knocked something over.

And the amount of patently fake DID tiktoks, ugh. I moved over to YouTube shorts mostly for other reasons but there are way less of those things going on there.

I’ll try that, thank you! This is my first day :)

Hey, I’m not sure where else to ask this, but I’m trying to switch to darkly. I change the setting over to darkly, click on ‘save’, and then go back to lemmy.world but it never sticks. What’s going on?
