If you think this is just for the next 4 years, you're fooling yourself.

Come ~~in~~ to Europe πŸ™‚

You going to help us get visas?

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Just so you know, you probably want to say "Come to Europe".

"Come in Europe" means "Ejaculate into Europe" or "Orgasm in Europe" in many dialects of English.

Which is fine! But probably not what you meant! Lol

What were you doing from early 2017 to early 2021? I suggest you do approximately that, unless you've grown out of things you were doing at the time of course.

Just get on with your life.

You just gotta fight back and live your life. Sounds simple, but in my country, we lived through "the perfect dictatorship". We know this shit.

The only way out of this situation is through.

Leave the country, work abroad for a while.

Already working on it. Just need to find someplace I can get a job that will let me work outside the US.

No point in hiding for 4 years, shits not going to be the same when you come out. The only thing we can do is get the fuck out or stay and fight. Shit’s gone get real bad if we all just hide. Pretty much what caused the issue since I feel like we all have been since Covid.

Treat it like nuclear fallout. Everything sucks right now. So much life is going to be oppressed. But eventually it will end, and we can begin rebuilding.

Don't let the bastards grind you down. Take a beat of you need it. Take it one hour at a time, one day at a time, one week at a time. You can do this.

I think we overrate the ability of the government to change the living conditions in a country. The government is only one factor among others, such as technology, geography, ecnomics, history, climate, and the accumulation of small choices made over decades.

Leave if at all possible. If not possible, set things up to increase the chance you will be able to one day - maybe move to near a border or something, and make sure your documents are handy and you have cash on hand or similar.
