Have you considered moving to some civilized place?
Most of us are far too broke.
It takes a one way ticket and ask for political asylum. Or something. If you have proof of ancestry somewhere in Europe you can get citizenship.
Lol. Most of the world still officially considers the US a democracy, so nope, no asylum. They'll tell you to relocate within your country (aka, move to a blue state, blue city).
Good luck, and bye! you get deported back to the US
Yeah, we’ll have to wait for open civil war to break out before they’re liable to accept any meaningful quantity of Americans who aren’t in VERY special circumstances. And we’d also have to piss off enough countries such that they’d refuse to extradite (or just go to France (but good luck if the French fascist party wins)).
Not the person you replied to, but:
My Options are:
Remain in US
Go back to China, an actual dictatorship. Hopefully Xi doesn't find all the anti-CCP stuff I said while in the US? China tends to label people who have moved oveeseas as "汉奸" (Han Traitor). I could potentially end up in prison. Also job market has like 10 times more people competing than the US. Also 户口 (Hukou) issues, my Hukou was in some rural village, very shitty place. If I go to a city (where the actual jobs are), I'm essentially treated as a foreigner in my own country. (Also, China revoked my Chinese citizenship already. So I'd technically be an actual foreigner lmao)
Become... stateless and get stuck in an airport?
Or secret option number 4:
4. Hope an advanced alien civilization abducts me? 😏 /jk, but that's be fun tho
