I just can’t see the inspiration to die fighting for America or the American way or living.
yeah, I think in general the USians on this website envision themselves fighting to end America and are against its way of life and, if you are anti-imperialist, that is one of the most essential things to the survival of the human species. I am glad you got out, but fuck you, that level of pessimism and smugness is exactly what is going to destroy life on this planet. It’s the type of hyper-individualism and fuck-you-I-got-mine-attitude that created the USA as it exists. Better to fight against what is happening, in any way possible, than pollute some other country with more yankees who are fleeing the symptoms instead of fighting the disease itself. I am glad you feel you are exempt from participating in any sort of revolutionary activity because mutual aid isn’t going to challenge imperialism on any level, especially when it is outside of the belly of the beast.
if you can afford to emigrate, you can afford to stick around and use your relative wealth to help change the outcome. those of us who can’t afford to leave need your help.
A friend of mine went to Prague to teach English for 6 months like 13 years ago. I think you only need an associates degree to get in. He overstayed his visa but got a Swede girlfriend who hooked him up with some kind of EU immigration status. He didn’t speak any Czech when he went, and in fact he’s still not great with the language. Easy program to get into, I’ve met a few people around the states who worked with him.
Having seen some of the exec orders, I have an old one with the wrong gender marker, should I just apply for a new one as if I were having any other piece of info changed and hope for the best that it goes through?
More likely to go through right now than in a year or 6 months as they haven’t quite had time to stack the administrative agencies thoroughly though I suspect they’re going to be processing more than usual.

arm yourselves and arm everyone around you
Fuck that I would sooner stay and die fighting. Someone has to.

Exactly my point. The fact there are so few of us committed comrades here in the core makes each one of us that much more important.
I’m getting old too but I have the capability and it would be irresponsible for me to leave behind my comrades who cannot flee.

How’d you get out?

Sounds lovely… But I’m visibly trans at least part of the time…
