I have a potential contract in Singapore. I know it’s not based, but if I can turn that into a full-time job and residency, I’m thinking it might be a better escape hatch than anywhere in eu-cool just by proximity to and relations with some-controversy. Is that part off? It’s largely vibes-based.

Then there’s the general question about fleeing the imperial core instead of staying and helping my community. I don’t have a community. The last place where I knew the names of my next door neighbors was my childhood home, which I left a generation ago. Do I owe it to the people living here to pick a place in amerikkka and join an org or am I ethically free to just pack up and move wherever suits me, even to a place with maybe even less revolutionary potential?

    I don’t see how you owe someone to stay, isn’t America in ethic the land of the free, and therefore anyone free to leave ethically?

      America in ethic

      My nationality might be American, but I’m not gonna follow the ethic of this empire. I’m an internationalist and a proletarian.

      I won’t fault anywhere for getting out. But I chose to come back. My duty is to work, to do my small part, to destroy the Empire.
