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.

Yeah true. It's generally better from what I've seen but nazi chuds really are everywhere.
LOL
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
Yep, and I hate that because I want to support the artists and mostly listen to more obscure shit these days. Plus bandcamp is owned by Amazon I believe so even though the artists get more out of it, there's still a Bezos tax.
Then there's figuring out how to stream it remotely while driving or whatever. It's a whole thing.
I do genuinely really like Tidal so far, but I'm not familiar with their company's political stances or anything, and of course it's not FOSS at all. Spotify is dead to me though.
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.
Oh absolutely. We're in a very different age today though. Like hell I can't imagine either of my own parents understanding the basics.
I can definitely see that. I'm not really too familiar with this space of games so I can't speak on it much, but it does feel like a passion project, and that's not a bad thing.
That shitshow is EXACTLY why I went with Tuta instead of Proton
