I used to say this a lot, but the longer i live, the more i understand that “stand and fight” requires a lot of will power, especially when you have to rub shoulder with the jarring issue daily, the very issue that makes you want to leave, and the authority doesn’t give a single fuck about it after countless report. In any case, it’s the lost of faith toward the fellow countrymen, not the administration.
Yes. It’s easier said than done. I often find myself thinking, I could do more to make my country better.
But I am just too irritated by the selfishness and privilege on display. Just relocating to a nicer country is an option that 99% do not have. You need to be young and well-educated, or be relatively wealthy. Otherwise, a rich country will simply not have you.
At the same time, those who can just pick up and leave are the same people who are most able to change things for the better. Americans are not risking their lives by speaking up. The rule of law is mostly being followed. Democratically elected representatives hold power.
Freedom and life can be taken from us, but never honor. -Otto Wels, 1933, in the final session of the elected german parliament.
