    The US, left for China and I’m likely never going back.

    If China ever refuses to renew my visa I’ll be visa hopping in SEA like most broke american Travellers do.

    I genuinely cant imagine ever living in an individualist society ever again. Theyre all so hateful.

      I mean, Chinese society hates you for going against the CCP.

        You gotta define those words for it to be true. The CPC certainly doesn’t care if you ‘go against them’, nor do any of the constituent parties making it up that rarely fully agree on anything.

        Most citizens certainly dont, well to be specific most dont care. At all. They’re enjoying the fruits of their and their parents labor and trust their local elections.

      Might wanna get another citizenship instead of relying on “visa hopping”. The US can pull the dictator moves and just revoke your passport and leave you stranded (remember: Snowden?), also, if you run into issues with local laws, you have no consular protection (I assume you wouldn’t want the US intervening, so that’s effectively no consular protection)

        Yeah, working on that, some of us werent born rich or lucky enough to qualify for other passports.

        And yeah if that happens and im somehow left stateless that’ll suck, but it’ll suck less than living in a dying fascist empire. Like infinitely less. I’m not the right color to just pretend to be normal and get a pass like most white liberals are planning to.
