the idea that it's a hyper individualistic and specifically American flaw of character to want to leave a country falling into fascism is so funny because that is like morally one of the best reasons that people have had, historically, for moving to America!
I see people moving to Canada or New Zealand and I think “that is no escape.” There’s a fascist right in Canada too, blaming migrants for everything. Billionaires are building compounds in NZ and will manipulate the gov’t, just like they do here. World’s a lot smaller these days.
*glaring at my family that has had, for thousands of years, to move from country to country as conditions changed for the jews* uhh have you considered mutual aid
I think the "I'm moving to Canada" stuff is tired, whatever, but like. Genuinely wild to imagine talking to someone who has immigrated from a country under military rule and being like "wow I guess you just weren't invested in your community and neighborhood"
