about moving from the US, what to expect (this is going to be harsh and potentially confronting, but realistic)
I'm not going to tell you not to move out of the US, and I will certainly provide assistance to do so where I can if asked.
However, you have to realize: things are not rosy in Europe. Fascism does not respect borders, and we are dealing over here with the exact same fascism that you're dealing with over there, it's just at a different stage and of a slightly different flavour. In many cases it's the literal same group of people, working across borders.
Which is to say: you *will not* escape fascism and live happily ever after by moving to Europe. It doesn't matter which country. You won't. You're going to have to fight fascism, one way or another, it's not optional. If not today, then in a few years.
If you need to move to get some breathing room for a while and prepare for that fight, that is okay! But you're still going to have to engage in that fight eventually, and I'm not just talking about violent encounters here - it takes all stripes.
So... if you're planning to move to Europe, you need to be making a plan on how you're going to fight fascism once you've moved, ideally one that includes fighting it in the US too.
And there are going to be people to support you here, but there are going to be people to support you in the US too. Think carefully about your options and what you can do locally before deciding to move, and whether you cannot do more in an environment you already know.
about moving from the US, realism, mh, long
@joepie91 I've been considering what you say constantly today, because you're right, of course.
My current calculus so remains: it's not going to be possible to meaningfully fight back while lacking clean water. Flint, Michigan exists as proof, if anyone has any doubt about my claim.
If I am to fight, I need to be in a place where I can rest assured literal brainworms guy won't have his way on my water supply; fact is, all of 2024 I have spent trying to simply move out of my family's house, in order to be able to emotionally unpack and process for my own mental well-being. Long story short, I am hardly any closer to leaving even my current dang household, let alone my dang *state*, and I have become increasingly desperate for options, as it were.
I just don't know what to do, or where I can find people who are each willing and able to support me as I am willing to support said people . . .

@joepie91
facism takes over governments and discriminates to benefit from the money printer on behalf of the oppressed.
I don't see how this can be fought without killing the money printer once and for all
I am open for suggestions how to achieve it. There might be other ways than bitcoin, but money printers is the main reason that makes it attractive for facists to take over imho🤷
