People also said that Roe v Wade would be a red line that'd lead to mass protest.
I wouldn't bet on it.
I mean, there were mass protests, they just didn't do shit.
I think you have a very optimistic view of the US if you think the people that don’t care if one group of non-white citizens are deported is suddenly going to be shocked and appalled when a different group of non-white citizens is on the chopping block.
I sincerely hope that it never comes to that, but thinking that your deportation is going to be the straw to break the camels back is a little arrogant.
Considering the categories of people that have already been deported in the last year, I think you're not taking the threat seriously enough.
I mean I've been avoiding going outside, that's my way to reduce risk.
It's because of this very political issue that I feel so anxious and even more depressed, which is why it's hard to make plans.
What am I supposed to do?
Its like nuclear war, shit can go down at anything. It's outside of my control.
Canada won't take me. EU won't take me
I hate PRC.
Moving isn't so simple, I don't have the advantage of being young when I learned English, I'd stuggle a lot. Moving take a lot of effort, something I'd struggle to do with depression.
I think you are overestimating the amount of things someone can actually do.
You realized during the Wong Kim Ark era, my people faced worse? They still have the guts to continue living. I mean... am I supposed to run every time there's a problem? It's not like there is anywhere to run to.
(cant think clearly right now, sorry if I'm rambling)
Since you deleted your comment, I can't really address exactly what you said and I'll have to sort of do it by memory of what tone you had, but don't be caught without a plan. Even if the plan is just running when you see ice approach, it's better than just being a deer in the headlights because you've blithely told yourself you won't be targeted.
I wish we would see the equivalent of the la riots where shopowners banded together with guns on top of their shops, but perhaps even consider what you can do if you see someone you're vaguely familiar with being taken by ice. The golden ideal would be a community driven communication of ice tracking, from the moment they leave their little compounds until they get to the rental car place and then their targeted areas, but things will have to get a lot worse before there's enough people to band together for that. You could start (I have four of us in my area) with just your friends and you tracing where they're going from news reports or social media in your area.
