The whole “I’m going to leave America if _____ happens” is stupid not just because most people can’t do that but also because what, you’re going to jet into France just in time to enjoy a fascist taking over? Going to head to Italy? Canada for Québécois Trump? Argentina for that floppy haired guy?

I was just talking about this to a friend. Where can one run that will remain untouched and unsullied by fascism? There is no way to outrun it forever. At some point there needs to be a stand taken.

Pierre Poilievre is from Alberta. Despite his French name, he is neither Québecois nor Francophone. But yes, he will be the next head of government, to my great chagrin.

it is a hallmark of privilege. 'I can make a total mess here and rather than put in the effort to clean it up, I'll just go somewhere else'. And it's delusional... you're correct. Got enough money to not work and enjoy life? Fill your boots I guess. Say hi to Leo.

I had a conversation with an acquaintance from Israel a couple years ago and he said he'd never live in the US; it was too dangerous and run by dumb people. Fast forward now and he's trying to leverage his partner's dual citizenship to move here. No place is immune to fascists.

Also, a fact a lot of these ppl tend to overlook is, you cant just “move” to another country. Unless you want to rock up with your belongings in a suitcase and claim asylum,you will most likely need to go through a stringent immigration process. Not to mention how hard it is to learn a new language!
