    I was talking about the divorce as a whole. It would have some very serious ramifications. Moving wouldn’t be easy, because you’d be doing so under a whole different set of circumstances than moving abroad for studying or for a job. It’s not just you, it’s everyone who wants to live a “liberal democracy” who would want to move and it wouldn’t be easy at all, imo.

    Historically mass exodus aren’t fun.

    We are absolutely living in a cyberpunk dystopia. This particular meme is poorly put together to represent that because it chooses to focus on judgement of how others live their lives or choose to enjoy said life rather…

    Fair enough. I suppose I understand this meme to be a broader commentary about cyberpunk dystopia than specifically ridiculing someone’s life style choices.

    I don’t think it’s meaningless to be trepidatious over a future most of the people on this planet will never be able to have (affordable housing, a stress free retirement).

    And I dunno but calling it “a matter of perspective” feels like a lie, or a compromise, especially when knowing that we are slowly destroying our world and making everyone’s lives horrible so that a few people can enjoy themselves.

    We shouldn’t fighting to live in such a dystopia.

    I don’t want to say that their goals are wrong and mine are better, everyone has their bandwidth, but I just disagree that it is a matter of perspective. (Upon looking at it again, I think we both just understand this meme differently)

    I am so fucking tired of living in this world.

    You can look at a turd from a different angle and it will look like a brownie.

    A comfortable home or segregationist suburban dystopia?

    Family vacations or inefficient car based infrastructure fucking up the planet?

    Fun hobbies or mindless consumerism being sold to you as a hobby?

    Living to a ripe old age or being relegated to for profit nursing homes to count your dying days?

    Which seems more apparent?

    This is not just a simple house move, this is a whole on nation move, where you may never get to go back. There’s will be massive paperwork, a lot of uncertainty, chaos and pain. From my anecdotal knowledge on what happened in countries like west/east germany, north/south korea, india/pak, I can say that this event will be very stressful for a lot of people.

    Especially if you have to move for your safety. You might have to sell your house for cheaper than what it’s worth, you might not be able to buy new land or find good renting opportunities. You might have to sell your business or close down. You might have to find new jobs, new schools, new everything. And some people just don’t want to leave their home, no matter how fucked things are, because there’s a chance they’ll never see it again.

    This isn’t to mention, the pain that will come with such a divorce, the shame, and the lost hopes.

    It’s definitely hard and complex. I think you are greatly underestimating how traumatic such a move would be for a lot of people (even if it maybe necessary).

    Realistically this wouldn’t be possible, at least in the way most people assume. It’s hard for people to just uproot their whole lives and move to another state (though it’s easier these days), a partition like this would mean leaving behind a lot of liberal minded people, who are too poor or too rooted in a place.
