The lid was always on.
the lid was never on, its just that nobody checked to see if it was, and as a result, here we area now.
As an American who just emigrated, I guess I jumped. I can still vote from overseas, but I’m pessimistic about the future.
Where to, if you don’t mind
Japan. I had an offer from an EU country that logically would have been a better choice. But I couldn’t resist my inner child/weeb.
Do they ever harass you for leaving the designated tourist areas?
Not bait I’m legitimately curious.
No, I’ve never experienced anything like that. Even in small towns. I’m sure it happens, but I don’t think it’s common as long as you’re respectful.
The worse thing I’ve personally seen were no foreigner signs on bars during new years eve.
yeah pretty much.
They say education is the most important thing.
I’m inclined to agree, but we might honestly be past democracy in a post truth world, i’m not sure we deserve the rights we have.
This isn’t the first empire. Masses can be brainwashed. You can even have multiple layers of brainwashing, like how Republicans are extremely brainwashed, and Democrats are secondarily brainwashed to think they’re the moral opposition, while both of them unquestioningly support the undercurrent of global imperialism.
Literally the only escape is the entire population being fully educated on the nature of politics, economics, societies, history. A people cannot realize a free and just society without completely understanding what that requires. Until then you’re all just a fish flopping around on the floor of a boat.
Don’t forget the millions of us chained to the bottom because we have no choice
Oh hello my friend, you fully drowned yet? I’m getting there.
Its such a shit situation. If you want out, you generally need to get a job in another country. A job in a different country generally pays significantly less than the cost of living in most of the USA, so you need to already have a significant amount of money already saved to even consider it an option.
Most of us are just fucking trapped.
And in the case of the EU you probably aren’t getting in unless you’re highly credentialed. For all their shit talking they sure hate large-scale immigration.
