    One thing I’ve learned living in a conservative state in the US is that everything is my fault by proxy

    I should just be rich enough to move, how hard can it be

        “We should just build a wall around your state and force it to secede. All the LGBT+ and POC should relocate immediately because it’s not safe to live there.”

        “What about all the people who can’t afford to move? What about all the people living on tribal land?”

        “Oh, them? Hmmm. They should move, too. Again.”

        The fact is, right-wing extremism shouldn’t be tolerated anywhere. Putting all the fascists “on an island” doesn’t fix anything because there will always be children and other people who never asked to be there, yet have to suffer.

      Huh. Welcome to “you should have been rich adult” club. I’m not alone in such shit.

      How do all those immigrants move, though? Are they all secretly rich? Or are you, in fact, just comfortable enough not to want to move?

        They don’t move, either. I’m married to a first-gen immigrant. Getting here is a massive undertaking, but then?

        And what do you mean, all “those” immigrants?

          They move at least once in order to be immigrants, from their home country to the foreign country they now live in.

          I mean literally every single immigrant because that’s the definition of an immigrant.

      Stop being poor, dang it!

      20 minutes into the future: “Poverty comes from poor character”.

      Also look up “prosperity gospel”. Clive Barker has nothing on that.

      rich enough to move

      Just so we’re clear, you’re simultaneously too rich to move (like a Guatemalan farmer) and too poor to move (like a IT graduate)?

          To make it abundantly clear, for most people on earth, and for most of human history, being poor was and is not a blocker to moving. In fact it’s a great enabler. Comfortable middle income people don’t move.
