There’s a lot I didn’t know about the process. It’d be interesting to get the view of US members of this community.

    If we ever get to the point where whining on social media is more valued than voting then just fucking shoot us.

    What amazing principles these Americans have. Running away from a fight for their values because they don’t want to be judged. Well your being judged. We think you suck because you let this happen when you could have held your ground.

      If Nazis take power in my country and I have to opportunity to leave, I’m taking my wife and (currently unborn) child and getting the fuck out. Is it selfish? Perhaps, but my responsibility is first and foremost to my family. I don’t want to raise a child under fascism. Likewise if there is a war. I’m not dying to defend my country (assuming it wasn’t my country that started the war in the first place).

      Unfortunately the list of places to go that aren’t equally shit is getting shorter and shorter…

        That list is getting shorter and shorter because we’re letting a global media superpower fall to fascism.

        That’s the real problem with the line of saving yourself; it’s only a temporary measure. The longer you let fascism fester, the more it expands. Nowhere is safe.
