💯 I am not a safe space for talk of escape to Europe or Canada. All I hear is that you are selfish, cowardly, and either wildly well-resourced or deluded about your prospects abroad

I hear this but think respectfully that Jewish experience makes at least some of us think a bit differently about the notion of flight in the face of state violence and that in such a light the impulse, at least, need not be read exclusively as a lack of solidarity. JMO.

Also, you have zero appreciation about how bad things can get in all of these fantasy escape countries can be, especially if things get worse here. It will spread.

If you think you're going to escape revanchist right wing populism, if not outright fascism, by going to another Western nation, you need to read the political news from your planned destination more closely.

Genuine questions for you & @sjjphd.bsky.social from a Russian immigrant to the US: Do you think it is possible for everyone in a country to be targeted by an oppressive regime & therefore become non-privileged? If so, how should people determine when that point will come/when they should leave?
