It’s surely not people like YOU who deserve it. You’re just the ones paying for it without ever having been asked.
Sorry man. Sucks to be open-minded AND living in the us
And yeah, it’s really wild how much being an American who has a strong sense of humanistic ethics and a solid understanding of history and geopolitics and civil rights puts you in disassociative states on a fairly regular basis these days.
I’m genuinely torn on what sort of mid- to long-term plans I should be considering these days. Political activism that very well may put me on A List of Bad People The Regime Doesn’t Like, with all the implications that might contain in the coming few years?fuck off and go to Europe and work for the defense industry there (never thought I’d ever consider going back into defense, but I’d absolutely do it to help non-insane countries defend themselves against the US breaking bad)? Move to NH and buy lots of guns and teach myself how to machine things for uses that are definitely legal and practice flying FPV drones a lot? Who fucking knows.
And then there’s family and friends here who are like “oh it’s ok the system will correct itself”… like, what fucking planet are you on? How is that your takeaway? What the fuck? God, it’s exhausting. But also, what’s my best move to try to help/protect the people in my life I care about, regardless of whether they accept what’s going on right now?
I saw fascism rising in the Fourth Reich since Nixon got elected, and moved to Canada 15 years ago. Never regretted it (except the cold, snow, and lack of good, inexpensive Mexican food). Still prefer all that to fucking Nazis terrorizing my community and abducting or summarily executing my neighbors. I still have friends and family down there that I worry about.
I wish you the best of luck comrade, I fear it is going to get worse before it gets even worse.
Lol. And yeah it sucks big hairy and sweaty monkey balls. I dunno what I could suggest, but if people you care for don’t care for the current state of the world, or are just ignorant…what could you even do?
Emigrating? Sure why not. If you’re white (no racism here, just…well…we (Germany) are on our way to the right too…) You’d have zero problems. Nearly everyone <70 speaks English,.many above too. Makes easy integration. I would go for Netherlands, Norway, Denmark (or better not due to…you guys 🤷♂️).
I couldn’t think of much that would be better where you now are. Maybe the vast space and parking lots? The guns? The cost of living/building a house maybe, unless you’re in the big cities.
I’m already pissed at all the right-wing drift here that goes well against any ethics, but compared to you guys we’re basically people-pleasing warmhearted Marxists 😁
From an American: seriously, good on you, Danes. We deserve it.

I appreciate the empathy.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk I guess 😬
