    … now I’m much better prepared for escaping the worst of the acute fascism than I was before.

    i’m expecting it to smack me down hard since i already was not having a great time under non-fascist capitalism.

    you should teach a class on how to prepare for it. lol

      Not much to teach. Just lucky to have another citizenship and some savings. Then theory just helps with answering questions like:

      • Could there be life-disrupting/threatening political change in Canada in the foreseeable future?
      • Would it be safe if we just move to northern Canada?
      • Should we move out of Canada in such an eventuality?

      with a “yes,” “no” and “probably yes.” Previously I might have answered those with “no,” “yes” and “no.”

        the us empire is about to demonstrate to the world that my other country of citizenship is still a helpless vassal state despite the incredible progress at self determination they’ve made in the last few decades and my recent career change has proven that savings were a thing of the past despite earning the american average salary.

        i wish canada were an option for me, but the best chance that canada would consider me for permanent residency status is if i went back to the old career field that was giving me anxiety, depression, and the perpetual need to disregard reminders that i was helping the ruling class further fuck over the entire world.
