If I was in the USA, I would be ready to run real quick. The crackdown on the left is just beginning, get ready for massive surveillance, fully controlled media, reeducation camps, etc. GAFAM are all bending to the dictator. It's not a question of if, it's a question of when and how.

lol bruh the state erased the left like 80 years ago.

IDK, what's happening now has nothing to do with the usual capitalist propaganda and brainwashing of the past decades. I agree most of the west hasn't seen any real left govern states since the end of the 70s, but at then pace things are going and unless something huge happens, I guarantee you will soon look at the past years as some decent times

A lot of us are too poor to get out. Don't think Canada is taking political refugees just yet :/

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 31 points 6 days ago

I'm Canadian and I don't feel safe either. It's a new era of global fascism and surveillance, most of us wont be safe anywhere. Call me paranoid, but I'm already working on a escape and I wont ever disclose details online. Crazy times.

I'm just hoping we don't get to the point where I feel compelled to leave.

In the meantime, I'm looking for parts of the world where I could live for an extended period of time in case the worst happens. I don't think we'll get there, but it's always good to have a backup plan.

Myself and most of my family are fleeing next week, and I’m still worried that this infection will spread to where we’re going. They want this to be global.

There was never a left in USA, buddy.

Oh right, thanks. So everyone's fine with the current administration I guess. My bad and good luck the pedo-dictatorship.

I think only you are fine with the dictatorship.
