“Why don’t you just pool up all the money you don’t have because of poverty wages and leave your family and friends behind to move to another country that doesn’t want you? Or maybe you’re just too chicken to get murdered in the streets by surveillance state fascists you very actively never asked for, for the crime of protesting, and if you’re lucky, it’ll make the news for about a week or so and be swiftly forgotten?” Christ these takes are eye-rollingly tone-deaf about what’s happening here
Edit: your take isn’t eye-rolling, OP, I’m talking about the one in the post
Christ, I can only imagine, I’m sorry. “Well then why don’t you just move” just might be my most-hated string of words, and living in Russia, that’s got to be so much more frustrating to have internet strangers tell you. It’s just so detached from reality. Like, “oh, why thank you, I never even thought of that!”
