Imagine you live in the US and you have dual citizenship: American/Canadian. You have a job that allows travel. Considering the Christofascism that’s coming…

  • When would you move to Canada?

  • If you stayed in the US - when might you realize you waited far too long and you had a “Oh, fuck - I’m the frog” moment?

I want to stay in the US and I live in a super-blue county in a blue state. But I don’t want to become the frog. I have such dual citizenship and moving is doable for me provided I plan as far ahead as possible. I don’t expect Canada to be nirvana but I fear the worst for the US.

what are you worried about? Becoming a political prisoner? We will organize the prisons like the IRA. Getting shot by a cop or a right wing paramilitary? That’s already a threat even if you aren’t causing any trouble.

leaving may be a good option for some people, like if you are worried about a health issue (trans healthcare might be extremely difficult to find here soon for example) or an active fugitive, but you shouldn’t go into exile to primarily protect your personal comfort. we have a vital revolution to organize here, in the imperial core, where the fate of all of humanity will be decided: socialism or barbarism. I’m not planning on sitting on the sidelines in such an important fight. Chrisofascism is not inevitable, that’s defeatism, what is inevitable is conflict and class warfare. There will be no fascism if we win that fight.

If I was in your situation I’d probably just establish a little hideout in Canada you can go to in a worse case situation. A cabin in the woods or something.
