Its unrealistic. My parents have too much invesments in the US, hard to liquidate.

If my US citizenship is gone, I’d either be:

(A) Stateless, which is um… not good, too much bureaucracy to get another citizenship, and I’d have to learn a new language.

(B) If PRC wants me back, oh jeez I think that makes my asylum claim in a western country even harder, since its very difficult to “prove” my fear of persecution. And if my fears become real, it’d be too late to leave. What’s that saying: “Out of a frying pan into the burning fire”? or something, so yea that… very bad.

Country on my go-to list are:

Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Maybe other EU countries, Singapore… then idk…

These are the countries with a decent amount of Chinese Diaspora. As much as I love EU, less than 1% ethnic Chinese in some of the EU countries seems like I’d have a difficult time fitting in… idk.

I’ve considered Taiwan, but PRC is already aiming the cannons there, seems like a bad idea.

I’ve also been considering just ending it. I don’t have the will to live anymore. It’s too much…

Glances at PRC

Hell no lmao

Unless the arriving country’s customs decide to inspect it and seize it. You should be able to buy it anywhere.

China have always controlled HongKong, PLA is literally already there.

I hear people mention vitamin deficienty, but like… really? That causes my depression? 🤔

“Does this mean you no longer have freedom of speech?”

“Absolutely not. Our new “protest permit” requirements simply means only authorized protests are permitted, everyone else go to the Gulag”

😁

I have 2 cheap options I could recommend for Custom ROMS:

1. Moto G 5G 2024 $140 runs Lineage OS (I have this)
2. CMF Phone 1 $290 runs e/OS, has OLED display, overall a better phone than the cheap moto.

I’m not sure about “Linux” atm, there are still more apps for Custom Roms than you’d find for Linux that’s optimized for mobile use.

All the “Western” Empires are in decline.

Its why I’m slowly losing my will to live.

We then have RISC-V computer by Pine64 running Libre-ICEBlock

I feel like all the “good people” are each on their own small island surrounded by evil people in aircraft carriers laying siege.

All phones run gapps by default, other than those in Mainland China, that is.

For me, that’s not really fun either.

I’m a former PRC citizen and they probably think of me as a “traitor” for leaving. The have been PRC nationals accused and convicted of running a “illegal police station” to harass dissidents. The only thing worse than being harassed by one government is being harassed by two governments.

Edit: Also I have a phone with LineageOS now, zero spying :D

IQ has a history of racism, literally eugenics stuff.

Probably not a good idea to trust this psudoscience BS. Racial minorities got sterilized over this.

I’ll provide a non-western perspective on this:

My mother was born in mainland China, according to her, doctors were corrupt and would prescribe unnecessary medications or perform unnecessary medical procedures because the doctors were incentivised and get more money by doing so.

That’s why now in the US, he maintains the same beliefs, reluctant to let me get antidepressant medication, because she see the as “crutches”, unnecessary “happy pills” for “weak” people, “too many side effects”, “harmful for health”, “these doctors probably don’t know anything”, “it’s all in your head”.

It goes far as: “try this necklace that repels evil”, wtf lol.

Also: Fucking Wechat and the fucking “herbal medicine”/TCM or whatever🤦‍♂️

People need to learn how to build a “firewall” for their brain.

College dorms?

They allow pets? 🤔

Oh yea I’m not a conformist, probably why the way I am.

I always go poking around in places mainsteam media doesn’t expect me to. Digging around Tor and “Dark Web”, researching about custom operating systems that nobody actually use. Etc…

As a kid, when I looked at media, and… you know how media always portrays men as “strong” and women as if they always need to be saved by the hero, who is always a man… like you know what I’m talking about? The gender stereotypes. When I was a kid, I was just like: but why can’t a woman save the man from the villains like I always have internal thoughts that conflicted with society. I always have questions about everything, curiosity forces me to try and gather more information than what is fed by the system.

And I especially just hate loud music, parties, festivals, or otherwise holiday celebrations, too much stress.

I wonder, do philosophers typically have friends, or are they just loners?

Edit: Also, you kinda described my parents. Total Apathy. They say: “trump was fine first term, there’s nothing to worry about” lmfao. And for context, we are non-white immigrants and our former country was an authoritarian one, but they didn’t care about that either.

not good. can’t stop thinking about politics. am racial minority in my country and was naturalized, I worry about my citizenship status all the time, I feel like anyday I can get raided and then the government tries to denaturalize me. 😖

(It’s USA, of course)

I chose to save Chloe because fuck that corrupt ass town.
