If yes, where would you move to?

If no, why not?

I ask this as someone who has moved around a lot (5 states) for better working opportunities. I often hear people say they wish they could leave their current city/state/country, but money is often (understandably) an issue.

    I want to move out of the US for the same reason but I ultimately think I shouldn’t. If I run I leave others to fight for what is right without me. I’d rather die in a shit hole than watch my shit hole become fascist from afar.

      It’s true, though during the German Reich, there was a threshold when it was a good idea for undesirables to get the heck out of Germany, and it just got riskier to stay. Eventually it became a good time to not be in Germany at all since political enemies and even inconveniences could be arrested or transferred to the eastern front.

      I don’t have any anticipated opportunities to escape, but also the way the capture of US by the transnational white power movement (or the Christian nationalist movement) is going to be slower and heavily obstructed as each state has to be captured separately.

      I suspect I’ll go the way of the Weiße Rose preaching civic engagement and ideals we want to see in our society, until someone sees me as a threat to their power. Then, I already drop reminders La Résistance developed naturally from Parisians watching brutality by the German occupation unfold on the streets. It started by slashing tires, cutting phone lines and tearing down propaganda posters before organizing into a fierce fighting force.

      Maybe I’ll end up a July 20 conspirator. Or I’ll just be executed as one.
