Regardless of how it happened, entering a fascist state means that you must be prepared to wipe all your devices before crossing the border. They’ll naturally fabricate justifications to employ totalitarian measures as it’s their directive to do so. If they seize your items and violate your privacy, which they will do, at least there’s nothing but a blank slate. These days I feel it’s more important than ever to have two devices, with one being a basic phone for communication only and the other a smartphone that’s backed up and ready to be wiped at a moments notice, then stuffed into your luggage.

    "Entering a fascist state", means you should turn around and go back the way you came. Why do people assume it's safe here?

    Ideally, sure. I don't think most people assume it's safe here, at least not anymore. I'd wager that most people, if they had the option, wouldn't come here lol it's not like only tourists are coming through the border.

    I'd say the consequences of not coming are easier to endure than being beaten and left to rot in a concentration camp with no due process.
