Canada is probably gonna be the plan though honestly. Driving distance, easy on the dogs, minimal culture shock. Just gotta talk with the wife and start seriously planning it out. We slacked on getting our passports renewed last year though, big mistake. Playing it by ear right now - staying and fighting back just seems like a poor option right now while the empire is collapsing on itself.
They’re gonna tell us to all vote for Gavin Newsom 💀
Seriously. Like sure it’s a half-decent start I guess, barely, but AOC and Sanders are still centrist liberals. Kicking the can down the road by keeping capitalism alive will get us right back here in the future.
It’s incredibly depressing that this country is in a state where people genuinely believe these two are anywhere left of center
At this point I’m just waiting for a refugee program abroad to open up so we can get the fuck out asap. I have zero hope in this country ever doing anything about this shit, even if the current regime is toppled. Until capitalism is a thing of the past, it’s always going to happen again.
The Christian nationalist fascists love Israel not just because of their warmongering, genocide, and apartheid, but also because they think its existence keeps Jewish people off in their own country away from everyone else.
It sounds contradictory, but the vast majority of support for Israel is literally rooted in antisemitism.
Liberalism is a right-wing ideology, full stop.
Or deportations or attacks on LGBTQ+ rights
Meanwhile Biden deported more people than any sitting president ever before, Harris’s biggest campaign promise was “the biggest and most lethal military in the world”, democrats are throwing LGBTQ+ folks under the bus right now and censuring THEIR OWN PEOPLE when they actually have the gall to do the slightest amount of fighting back. And that’s all on top of the ongoing genocide Biden funded and supplied and Harris was 100% committed to continuing and all establishment dems completely support. Both parties are rotten.
Harris would’ve been nothing but another twist to the right for the overton window, and we would inevitably have this exact same sort of fascist administration right after she left office. It would’ve been nothing but kicking the can down the road.
Accelerationism is fucking awful but frankly this current shitshow was inevitable without a complete overhaul of this system. Democrats are a far right forced opposition and nothing will change until we install a far left worker’s party and give all of these capitalist warhawks the boot.
I haven’t majorly fucked up any recent systems (almost botched the steam deck once or twice but nothing that required a reinstall), but god 10 years ago I probably reset my arch dual boot like five times lmao
Absolutely. I’m a bit of a ways outside the city and waiting for the day the raids hit in full force here for anyone who doesn’t align with fascists.
I’ll toss in a vouch for bazzite too. I tried it out and it’s not at all for me, but that’s because I wanted to tinker with shit and bazzite’s a very “locked-down” immutable distro. if you want something that just works out of the box and don’t plan on doing a lot of tweaking, it’ll get the job done. I ended up switching to cachyOS which suits my needs much better, but I don’t think I’d recommend it to someone brand new to linux as a whole.
I’ve been using it for a few months now. Works just fine, doesn’t do anything fancy but it doesn’t need to. Filter rule creation is pretty limited, and the desktop client doesn’t play well with my VPN for some reason, but otherwise it works fine.
It’s alright but I’ve already stopped using it. I could never get it to the exact angle I want to use it, plus the mount on the deck itself needs to come off in order to use a dock.
It’s sturdy and secure, and it does exactly what it’s meant to, but I found I was having more arm and wrist strain while using it because of the weird mount. The lowest angle I could get it is still too high up and too far away to be comfortable. I wouldn’t really recommend it.

Oh I’m sure, I’ve heard the same from some friends up north. Rising fascism is a global trend right now and it’s fucking horrifying. Need to get out to the range and practice more myself too for sure. Getting out of here is all well and good, but being prepared for the worst is more important right now.
