@flup in fact, I only.know people who would rather want their #US #citizenship taken away from them instead of suffering from #FATCA-based #DebtPeonage!

At this point I know almost a dozen people that were "assigned #US #citzen at birth" without their explicit consent who'd literally do anything to get #denaturalized and live as a free being.

• Unfortunately the #USA not just imposes #FATCA but also a de-facto debt peonage with an absurdly-high #RenounciationFee of U$D 2.350,-- and #RenounciationTax because in the eyes of the #US government they are considered #PayPigs!

Which begs the question if #crowdfunding for that violates the #ToS of #GoFundMe and/or other platforms.

• #WhatsMissing is the opposite of the Thiel Fellowship aka. a fund that finances #Renounciation of #USA #citizenship (and OFC supports people attaining a different citizenship because #statelessness is *worse than homelessness!)

@Nonilex kinda like the #RenounciationFee being increased from $0 to $450 to $2350 ?

Cuz many folks don't want that passport [anymore]…

• Promises to reduce it back to $450 have yet to materialize.

@Npars01 @mcnado you already have that.

It's called #RenounciationFee ($ 2.350 just for the renounciation) & a literal #RenounciationTax…

• It's extreme paywalling keeps many people as involutary citizens of the #USA and is designed to keep #US citizens against their will like #indenturedServants.

Reminds me of the term "#PayPigs"…

For comparison: #Germany charges only € 28 in administrative fees.

@flexghost I hope this also eliminates #FATCA or any #Expats from being obligated to pay #taxes or a #classist #RenounciationFee...

#sarcasm

After all, EVERY SINGLE NATION taxes permanent #residents.

In return I think people should be allowed to freely move and choose where to live, work, raise kids, retire, etc.

I'd love to see someone make the case before #SCOTUS that the #RenounciationFee and #RenounciationTax are not based off actual #cost for the state to let someone go but are in fact illegal #DebtPeonage and a form of financial #hostagekeepiing by putting people on ransom....
