    And go where? Gotta work. Gotta eat. At a certain point if you’re not in the top 5% of applicants, you’re screwed. Your choice is die on your knees or die fighting.

    No place on earth is far enough away from the fuckwits who control everything. I wish leaving the US would be the end of it, but everywhere sucks.

    • Hence “if you can”. I’m currently making it work, but I know it’s not an option for everyone. And yes, it’s gonna suck worldwide, but I’d rather not remain in a country that wants to throw me in a concentration camp because of my skin color or gender identity.

        There aren’t many countries that can’t slip into that at any moment. Germany has rising right-wing influence. China is already there. Canada is getting… weird. Anything south of the border is a little sketchy. Where are you going?

          So your solution is to stay in a country that is actively in the early stages of full blown genocide against people exactly like me? Please answer as to why the fuck I would want to stay here if I have the chance to get out? I’ve spent the last 25ish years of my life fighting for the right to simply exist and no one gave a shit, so fuck staying.
