Right, I go to sarcasm too whenever it comes up. Or evade the topic all together if possible. I don't even mean about approaching people over politics though - that's like a known taboo that's been known for years. I don't have any commonalities with people in my country. I do not follow the sportsball. I stopped watching MCU and zogslop around 2016 and started doing more things irl. Aside from a select few vidya games to pass the time. Very little binging TV shows.

Aside from a select few vidya games to pass the time. Very little binging TV shows. Same here, I don't follow any current western shows, I barely watch western movies anymore (even older content), mainstream media wise I only watch a few anime shows a year. Recently I started spending a bit of time trying to learn Chinese, because that's a possible way out, I mean other, more radical, alternatives would probably ruin my life. I don't think I have the drive/resources/power to try fight/change the system, and in Spain even the more "radical" groups are controlled opposition and NEVER mention the real problems. It wouldn't surprise me that what's happening in Italy right now happens soon (in few years) in Spain too.

> Recently I started spending a bit of time trying to learn Chinese. Good luck. I've been interested in learning Russian and possibly Japanese. I would probably integrate better in Japan, however. China is a loss on me...I'm no fan of their social system either, and would find it insufferable. Like I might as well stay in the US smart cities because at least I won't be antagonized for misreading the moon runes. kek. > Radical groups are controlled opposition. Agreed, or at least it's an easily exploitable tool to identify and catalog dissidents. People easily forget this all the while mass surveillance is there. Our government has only proven they will target opponents with extra judicial treatment. J6 is an example that comes to mind. A hard pill to swallow, the only way out I see is through. The problem with fleeing to another foreign land is it feels like conceit. It feels like not-trying. I have far more interest in remaining in my homeland than elsewhere. I think it's just a matter of surviving periods of internal turmoil and being able to face it. We know it is unsustainable. We know importing infinity niggers will go badly for the elite classes in shorter order than they will be able to anticipate. Failure chains will cascade - long enough service interruption will lead to panic. Panic leads to catalyst events.
