I want to get out of the country due to the risk of fascism, any ideas?

    Migrating to other countries is extremely difficult. The “easiest” is probably getting a job in Europe that will help you get a work visa. If you want to actually become a citizen somewhere else, the easiest way is a country you can prove an ancestry from that counts that as a benefit, or be Jewish and go to Israel.

    If you have no connection to another country, you probably need an advanced degree (preferably in an in demand field), a significant savings account balance, and a job offer or proof that you could obtain one fairly quickly. Even then it’s not a guarantee. Somewhat ironically, the US is one of the easier places to migrate to.

      This is what kills me… I’m a worthless factory schmuck so I’m stuck in this shithole country :(

        There are factories in Europe as well, apply and you have more of a chance than if you don’t.

        It’s also possible to attend higher education, or just visit for a prolonged time and try your hand at hospitality or anything really.

        Dude I feel this SO much. My job is pretty far from skilled (I work in a warehouse) so I don’t really see too many places welcoming me with open arms due to my highly sought after qualifications

      Yeah. That’s not actually true.

      The US is about the same as most developed countries, and I say that as someone who has (legally) worked in 6 different (developed/western countries) countries including the US (2 years there was enough, I didn’t pursue citizenship).

      The perception that the US is easy to legally immigrate to is a strawman.

      You guys do however have paths from illegal to legal that most don’t have - provided you don’t get caught first.
