Was away for a week visiting my parents. Don’t get to see them nearly enough, in no small part thanks to our lovely “European Values” meaning they have to jump through more hoops to come visit us in Ireland than they can manage at their age. You see, we don’t really see non-Europeans as human in Europe. They’re something less. A potential threat.I may have an EU passport and pass for white but I never forget that. In fact, I think about it every time I miss my parents.#eu #racism #xenophobia

Yes it is terrible. My girlfriend (Sasha) still cannot legally stay with me in EU despite us going through the process of "marriage" some 3 years ago. We try and try to get her a residency so she can also be able to leave, go to the US visit her family and such. We cannot....we at times talk to 3-4 different lawyers. It is insane.It is such a prison....and you realize it so much when you bang your head into these things...Like for us, to give her a residency I have to have a job and make more than 1k a month for at least a year. Else we are not humans.

@aral @tio @aral Is that also in Ireland where they require you to support your g/f? I’m confused because you say she’s your g/f yet you’re married. Was it a non-EU marriage.. is that the issue?

Even having an EU passport isn’t enough to be considered fully human in the EU.What about your family? Your parents? We must protect ourselves from them. They could be dangerous. Goodness knows my 79-year-old dad and 77-year-old mom might be potential terrorists. Let’s make sure we make it as hard as possible for them to visit. After all they were born in Brown lands and have funny names. Can’t be too careful.By the way, did we mention how progressive we are in the EU? Racism, what’s that?

She is "my wife" for the past years, but we hate that ritual especially because we were forced to do it for the papers. So I call her "my girlfriend" normally. But yes, I am an EU citizen. Have Romanian citizenship and Spanish residency. The marriage was done in the EU. But it seems to make 0 difference. The lawyers told us that it does not matter, unless I can show that I can support her financially and have at least a one year contract and make over 1k a month.

@tio @aral @tio Well I’m baffled. An EU marriage w/one person being an EU citizen-- I would have expected that to entitle your wife (by law) to reside with you, and that entitlement to residency should also automatically entitle her to work in Spain as well. I’m surprised Spain has that red tape & that it’s even legal for Spain to do that under EU laws.

If you don’t have provisions for family members of citizens to visit without being subject to bureaucratic hurdles then you have two classes of citizens: ones who you recognise as having families and ones who you don’t.A father or a mother or a brother or a sister should not need a visa every time they want to visit.That’s a racist and xenophobic policy.And if you don’t have to experience that because your family all have the same citizenship, count yourself lucky.#eu #family #xenophobia

Oh yeah we were also surprised....we thought the marriage certificate is enough. But it is not. She can "legally" stay with me in spain, but she has no documents here or the right to work. Nor can she leave spain and expect to return back. So she is trapped for now. The lawyers told us multiple times there is no way for her to get the residency just because she is married with me. I started to film for a documentary about this situation some 3 years ago but we were so tired and busy that I did not film much....I wanted to make a documentary about this bullshit situation because most people are unaware of it.

@kkarhan @aral @tio When I visit the thread on mstdn.social, indeed it is very broken. But when viewing the same thread on social.trom.tf, it appears continuous (no orphaned posts AFAICT). mstdn.social has 31k active members, so it’s bizarre that the thread is so broken & minimal on that big far-reaching server. Perhaps there is something stux@mstdn.social doesn’t want ppl to see?

@koherecoWatchdog, I would guess @kkarhan doesn't follow @aral or @tio but someone on another instance who propagated @tio's post above. Instances running Mastodon't tend to fetch posts no user explicitly subscribes to IIRC.

@cnx @tio @kkarhan @aral ~6 or so mstdn.social ppl follow me & probably a couple orders of magnitude more must be following aral (36k followers) from there. Aral’s OP made it to the mstdn.social fed timeline: https://mstdn.social/@aral@mastodon.ar.al/110560844232625033 & Tio was boosted by Aral thus Tio’s post made it to the mstdn fed TL. Wouldn’t the middle posts be fetched notwithstanding blocks?

Hmmm @koherecoWatchdog, I can’t use MastoFE’s search to force federate any of the post to mstdn.social. Hey @kkarhan, could you give that a try?

@ecosurrealism @koherecoWatchdog @kkarhan @tio @stux Hey folks, @stux and I follow each other and I don’t see why they’d implement some sort of shadow banning/block – I’m assuming this is some shortcoming of federation/the software/setup; I don’t think we need to jump to conclusions. From what I’ve seen, they’re doing a great job of moderating their instance and providing a valuable service to the community.

@koherecoWatchdog That’s harsh to jump to a conclusion of deliberate censorship. Not cool.
