Personally, I spent the Biden years unsuccessfully trying to switch careers and immigrate away from the USA/ Rust Belt. I have had little success in either, but now I understand why it was so hard for “good people” in “Germany” to get out of dodge. Did a lot of food access mutual aid when I had the time and resources, felt pretty impotent though. Having mostly recovered from the two failed attempts to improve my situation, I am trying to figure out what to do next in the New New Neo Shin Age of Monsters we find ourselves in. While the Democrats smized and handed us over “peacefully” for pogroms, territorial grabs, limitless pollution, genocides and domestic terror in the name of their sacred oligarchic democracy, I wondered if there was some other decent way forward for the sane that I was missing.

For those who do not understand the analogy, I am comparing our situation to these:

Beer Hall Putsch

Appeasement

In the sense that you get to choose your oligarch.

I didn’t vote for Elon, Bezos, or Zuckerberg. I don’t even use any of their products. How did I get to choose?
