    State as in a country? Or as in a Red State of the USA?

    If the latter, move to a Blue State & Blue City.

    If the former, you’re kinda fucked. Try to move out if you can, or if not, you just have to deal with it like people have done so throughout the history of humankind with absolute-monarchies that used to dominate the world.

      Thanks. And it’s The Motherland, you know which.

      I continue to build my capital to be able to leave, but both the current state and others make leaving harder for obvious reasons. I’m kinda jelly now that my mates used their chance to study in Finland, Spain etc with a chance to get locked into citizenship when they were teens and I missed that opportunity. Now I need to work hard to even stay alive and work twice as hard to move, like it’s told in Alice series by Lewis Carrol. I love this book and despise it for how it’s real.

    Remember that no regime, no matter how strong it may appear is ever able to last forever. No democracy, no autocracy, no kingdom has managed to stand the test of time in absolute. Often all it takes is a few dozen people in the correct points to set the dominoes to fall

      I was protesting, I’m still exposuring my peers to my ideas, but at times it feels like Pu7in and his regime would outlive me. It doesn’t need to be eternal, it only needs to outlive those who know it’s all wrong and reach the point of our self-destruction as a kind, that is speeded up a lot by this country having the diertiest places in the world like Norilsk.

      Too many people rely on me. People I hate are crawling in the well-defenced secret places. I can’t afford to Hotline Miamee everyone of them.

      I redirect it into my work and art for how long this bullshit war with Urkaine and catrsation of my country happens. But it can’t work for years, and I strugle to find a way out. I feel I’d have a hard time containing it anymore.

      I’d be a sucker for saying I can’t go full Luigi because I treasure my loved ones more than myself and I am afraid they’d borrow the weight of anything I do before I k-m-s. I’m no person to leave them with that publicity and that responsibility for my actions. With how my hatred flows high, my love and my fear for them is still stronger.

        If we dont stop the billionaires the climate will.kill us while they retreat to their bunkers. You already have nothing to lose, even if it doesnt look like it yet.

            Step 1: Walk for days until you find a bunker
            Step 2: Shit in the ventilation, if you can’t cover every vent with your own shit animal shit will work

    There are so many negative emotions and comments here.

    You are in a weak position, so yes that means you have to work harder.

    Elon has money. You don’t have that kind or money to buy influence. so effort and time ; organize, vote, and get out the vote.

    And yes. If needed have a plan. Are you a woman or have one in your life? Order Plan C Do you have family out of state or country? See about moving there.

    And don’t give up. Fight the whole way. And

    Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum!
