    I am envious of comrades here who get to live in countries that are doing somewhat good things (South Africa).

      I mean at the same time life sucks shit because everyone is broke and unemployed with massive corruption and huge amounts of crime and limited electricity (and this kind of stuff in the third world is not the same as it in the USA or Europe, it's simply at a much worse level over here), the OP of this post on hexbear doesn't even live in South Africa anymore from what I understand, likey because of those reasons. But at least our governments aren't genocidal tools, and political organisation is still alive. So that's a plus. At the same time the trajectory of our country is basically "slow positive progress", which I guess is better than regression.

        My main motive for moving out of South Africa was better opportunities in the cracker-sphere and having dual citizenship. Sure, for all the PIGPOOPBALLS I justifiably so levy at said cracker-sphere, especially the BaltiKKKs, the pay and social services are certainly better.

        It would also take just a few years to save enough money for an apartment back in South Africa if I so desire to move back - which I do because of a loss of religious and political freedom. At a point if I may be actively targeted or attacked for wearing a Keffiyeh, then yeah probably time to come on back.

          Yeah if I had the opportunity I'd probably also move to the "crackerverse" because being unemployed and doing low paying part time jobs in South Africa sucks. I'm hoping to get a full time job here, but the pay will still suck, probably not even enough to live with roommates, and certainly not enough to live alone. But at least it will be consistent pay.
