Part of me still wants to stay and fight in the U.S., but more and more I believe that its the equivalent of trying to stop a tsunami with a riot shield. And I feel incredibly guilty for feeling this way, but I am hoping/planning to permanently move to China one day.
Every single day in the U.S. is like gambling with your life. I don't want to suffer and die in this fascist shithole, and I know that I can still help people no matter where I go. But I feel that I owe it to my family and my SO to get us to a better and safer place.
Serious question - what problems do you hope to escape by fleeing to China?
I ask because it seems clear to me that China is authoritarian state capitalist rather than socialist, and while some things (e.g. Healthcare costs) are far better in China, the overall situation seems materially worse.
I think until we have a communist state to point to, the best move would be to a socdem country.
incredibly guilty for feeling this way
If it makes you slightly less guilty, the US is actively suppressing any opposition (see the Black Panther Party).
I know that, but I always believe in standing up and fighting.
