    There is a middle ground

    There’s no middle ground between citizenship and non-citizenship. And dangling threat of denied legal residency as a form of censorship is exactly the kind of fascist shit we’re seeing in Trump’s America.

      But she wasn’t denied legal residency, she was denied citizenship. And you don’t need citizenship to speak, so I fail to see the censorship.

        she was denied citizenship

        Which denies her a host of legal protections within the community, heaps additional bureaucratic burdens in renewing non-citizen residency papers, and exposes her to summary deportation on the whims of state security.

        I fail to see the censorship

        Threatening to deny someone citizenship based on their expressed political views is textbook censorship.

          I’m a Swiss permanent resident, and pretty much none of that is true. You have no clue what your talking about.___

            EU citizen and its obnoxious what you can’t do in Switzerland without full citizenship. The Swiss are famous for their refusal to play fairly with their European neighbors, operating as a fiscal parasite and anti-regulatory black box at odds with the rest of the continent (and the planet).
