I figured I'd just fuck off out of here before shit goes down. In fact I have no idea why I'm even living in this shithole instead of a paradise island. It costs about 1/10th as much, is tropical, beautiful, and so poor nobody would ever think of invading it. I don't know about you but I can make that work.

    Something tells me you're from the USA. There are other Western governments, and other places that are arguably better (as in, more comfortable/safe) to live in. Many people have dependents, or things to loose that they value over one's life.

    So yeah, it may be an option for you but that beautiful tropical island won't fit millions upon millions of people living in the collective West.

    I try not to go too public with where I'm from online, and use multiple accounts and contradict myself just to fuzzle the algorithms.

    But I am actually from an (allegedly) very stable and very democratic nation. Allegedly.

    Things change, sometimes rapidly, but I've seen the writing on the wall for at least two decades now, and honestly I feel like I'm running out of time.

    Actually committed now and moving in a few months, permanently. There is nothing left here, and the future is bleak.

    (and apropos, I am most certainly not moving to any Western country, or any particularly developed one in the slightest. I think the West is about to find itself in an absolute shitstorm, and soon, and I am NOT getting caught in that crossfire)
