I don’t know how interesting this might be to you people. I may have to be vague about some stuff (what country etc) for security reasons, just given my situation and how everyone from my area is being stalked by the IDF, sorry about that. My head’s still in vacation mode and I’m mostly surrounded by (nice! Well meaning! I can’t talk about everything important with them!) libs.

I always found it interesting that, the internet still being US-Eurocentric for the most part, most writings is from people with similar vantage points that I have no experience with. Even in lefty spaces, I find some stuff to be oddly taken for granted or at face value about the different places we all live. My lived experience is somewhat detached from the Western fascination with the theater of polite liberal democracy.

Realistically based on what I’ve shared on this account I could plausibly be expected to visit one of like fifteen countries across Europe + its buddies (and the US had it not been a comically bad time to visit), so I feel somewhat safe talking about it. Sorry if the paranoia is seems ridiculous, I spent four months under daily MK drone buzzing for no fucking good reason recently, I make my own rules.
