What were you doing from early 2017 to early 2021? I suggest you do approximately that, unless you've grown out of things you were doing at the time of course.

This is the conclusion I came to and what has kept me positive. Remembering that, while there was a ton of shit happening, I had plenty of happy memories from that time too. I finally made new friends after moving out of my hometown and I'm still friends with them to this day. I remembered all the great moments and memories I made during that time.
Come ~~in~~ to Europe ๐
You going to help us get visas?
Just so you know, you probably want to say "Come to Europe".
"Come in Europe" means "Ejaculate into Europe" or "Orgasm in Europe" in many dialects of English.
Which is fine! But probably not what you meant! Lol

If you think this is just for the next 4 years, you're fooling yourself.
The only way out of this situation is through.
You just gotta fight back and live your life. Sounds simple, but in my country, we lived through "the perfect dictatorship". We know this shit.
Leave the country, work abroad for a while.
Already working on it. Just need to find someplace I can get a job that will let me work outside the US.

Don't let the bastards grind you down. Take a beat of you need it. Take it one hour at a time, one day at a time, one week at a time. You can do this.
Treat it like nuclear fallout. Everything sucks right now. So much life is going to be oppressed. But eventually it will end, and we can begin rebuilding.
Leave if at all possible. If not possible, set things up to increase the chance you will be able to one day - maybe move to near a border or something, and make sure your documents are handy and you have cash on hand or similar.
I think we overrate the ability of the government to change the living conditions in a country. The government is only one factor among others, such as technology, geography, ecnomics, history, climate, and the accumulation of small choices made over decades.
