I might as well post my spiraling to somewhere more fitting.
The right has won the culture war for good this time, as RvW is the lynchpin for "right to privacy", which protects many other "undesirables" in the US from not being legally murdered. You know damn well that genocides are next. They are going to [redacted] all of us, and only because they think it's funny.
I just want to give up at this point, maybe if I just hide my power level and pretend to be far-right forever, I can eventually leave the US.
What country were you thinking about? Done any research?
I looked into it and it's actually really hard to immigrate to most countries. They require college degrees, job offer, guarantee you're not going to go on welfare, etc. Even countries you'd think would be easy, they're quite strict. You'd have to live in a sanctuary city, which limits your choices.
I've been looking through some countries and as cliche as it is: Canada shows some promise, with Quebec in particular. Scotland too.
Any place that is secular as hell, and can reasonably source patriotism from something other than "I am the greatest and I will destroy the world because I can! Mwa ha ha!" Scotland has some strict hate speech laws so there is a solid chance I can be reasonably left alone.
Even countries that give it away like Saint Kitts and Nevis have extremely homophobic laws.
The Empire will vanish and all its treats with it. Its accumulated knowledge will decay and the order it has imposed will vanish. International wars will be endless; global trade will decay; population will decline; nations will lose touch with the main body of civilization. –And so matters will remain. Historical materialism, which can predict the fall, can make statements concerning the succeeding dark ages. The Empire, gentlemen, as has just been said, has stood two hundred years. The dark ages to come will endure not two centuries, but a millennium. A Second Empire will rise, but between it and our civilization will be thirty generations of suffering humanity. We must fight that.
At times like this we need to acknowledge that it is not a culture war:citations-needed:. This may be hypothetical bullshit for the affluent libs and others on the right who wield power, but women and minorities just had their material conditions fucked with and now have to fight for their lives.
Media will tell them otherwise but they are trying to distract them with ideology. Women and minorities cannot :vote: any harder. Republican dogs have slipped the leash of capital and libs just stood by and watched. The old world has just died, the neoliberal paradigm no longer holds sway. We need to get out there with theory and make it palatable to the most propagandized people in the world, because the fight for socialism or barbarism came to the US yesterday, and fascists just made the first move.
I'm of two minds. part of me wants to fuck off, but the other part wants to stay and fight. not because i give a shit about the USA, but there's a lot of people i care about here...
I truly believe a better world is possible, I just struggle a lot with it...
also, if you're really nervous about right wing genocides (which is plausible, even if unlikely), join a lefty gun group if there's one near you.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I don't give a flying fuck about the states. Hell, part of my plans are plotting out what places would be the most ideal should the US ever Balkanize. I just know there are many people here who will suffer through no fault of their own because the culture celebrates gratuitous sadism as long as you slap Jesus, money or white people on it.
Sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, I'm feeling down myself.
We can beat back the fash still though comrade, we have to
OP, do yourself a massive favor and go outside. I don't mean this to dunk on you, I mean this as you are the prime candidate for one to pick up a spatula and grill. Do it for your mental health.
Sometimes we all gotta log off and grill. I feel like I'm getting close to needing a break
