      At what point will it be possible for a US citizen to apply for a, say, Canadian visa, as an asylum seeker?

        You should not leave the country, you should fight for it

          Cool.

          I’m homeless, disabled, have an eviction on my record from being assaulted in my own apartment, which massively injured me as well.

          Please tell me how I should fight or why its worth fighting for.

          Please tell me why moving out of this insanely mismanaged oligarchy, which is collapsing into theocratic fascism, filled with mindless, toxic positivity espousing blowhards, vain consumeristic attention whores and conspiracy minded, gun toting wack jobs…

          please tell me why i should give a fuck about this awful place

            Because if you just leave it will get more and spread. And soon you’ll have to also leave the new place. And then it might be the case, that there is no other place to move to.

            If everybody just lets them do what they want, nobody is there to stop them.

              That will happen if I don’t leave, unless you have some kind of 12 dimensional master plan.

              The climate is fucked.

              We are currently in at worst the last decade, at best maybe the two decades before basically civilization as we know it fucking collapses under its own weight.

              When complex societies fail, they have a last gasp of absurd opulence for the owners and distractions for the owned, then everyone collapses into despair, religious or superstitious fervor, everyone hyperfactionalizes and fights over whats left.

              Unless you have a grand plan for quite literally how to topple global capitalism before it climate catastrophes us into oblivion, which i can somehow meaningfully participate in, which requires i stay where I am…

              … I figure its in my own best interest to either move somewhere with a far lower cost of living, or somewhere thats colder now but will be a comfortable temp in a decade.

              And anyway, I am disabled, and homeless. I don’t have a community of people I know and trust personally who I can convince to start a solarpunk commune or something.

              The internet still exists, and any activism my disabled ass can do, can be done anywhere.

                This is how we know you’re not yet worth the investment of offering a communal opportunity.

                I’d encourage you to stay because the underprivileged are most likely to be motivated to meaningful action. But, it’s pointless because you lack the resources to leave.

    The goal is to prevent the certification of the Harris/Walz win, kicking the decision to the abjectly corrupt Trumpist Supreme Court who will then Bush Trump into the presidency.
