Marxist-Leninist. Tankie. Based in the imperial vassal state of Japan.
“We think so little of you that we know all it takes is a tv show or two to condition you to any leader we want to feed you! Isn’t that neat!?”
Don’t suppose we can get an HBO drama about a charismatic communist leader anytime soon?
I don’t think there is a one size fits all answer.
I ask these questions mostly rhetorically, please don’t answer anything that would run the risk of doxing yourself unnecessarily.
Do you speak other languages? Which ones? If not, are you willing to put the effort in to learn?
Do you have any career skills, what are they? If you are highly educated and have specialized skills (especially if you are something like an accomplished scientist) then it is a LOT easier.
What kind of lifestyle do you expect? Do you want something comparable to the USA? Do you want a more agrarian lifestyle?
Do you want to retain US citizenship? If not, some countries can be difficult to naturalize at.
For comparison, I left the US when I was very young and have lived my entire adult life in Japan. It’s not perfect. While I hold out hope that comrades here will make progress (and we do in some areas), we have existed as lapdogs of the USA for a very long time at this point. Would I recommend it to other people? Honestly, depends.
Liberals have never once shown me any desire to organise and “push their candidate left” as much as they love to preach about doing that.
The fact that they keep giving the democrats every office they could possibly want without them having to do a damn thing is why they keep rushing right. May as well pocket the money from all the lobbies and ignore the people who will inevitably vote for you.
If anything, we would see more organizing from liberals if Trump were elected. Granted, most of that organizing would be generic “trump bad” protests without any real attempts to enact change, but it would be more than the alternative.
I really liked the Devil Survivor games. Tactical strategy RPG in the Shin Megami Tensei series. Incidentally one of my favourite big franchises.
They re-released the first game on the 3DS and it’s a solid port. Speaking of SMT games, SMT: Strange Journey is another good one. It has that very classic dungeon-exploring RPG vibe though, which isn’t for everyone. Think Etrian Odyssey or the old Wizardry games.
Meanwhile my claim that Putin is a nazi has to do with the fact that he is attacking neighboring countries and blowing up hospitals and schools like a nazi would.
Even if, for the sake of argument, that we grant Putin just decided to invade Ukraine because he is some kind of a Saturday morning cartoon villain that wouldn’t make him a nazi.
A nazi isn’t “person doing something I don’t like”. Now if you say…are a member of the SS being celebrated in Canada you would be a nazi. Or a military regiment following the teachings of the nazi party and proudly wear nazi symbology. Or put on a pedestal a man directly affiliated with the nazi party. That might make you a nazi.
