I have a potential contract in Singapore. I know it's not based, but if I can turn that into a full-time job and residency, I'm thinking it might be a better escape hatch than anywhere in eu-cool just by proximity to and relations with some-controversy. Is that part off? It's largely vibes-based.

Then there's the general question about fleeing the imperial core instead of staying and helping my community. I don't have a community. The last place where I knew the names of my next door neighbors was my childhood home, which I left a generation ago. Do I owe it to the people living here to pick a place in amerikkka and join an org or am I ethically free to just pack up and move wherever suits me, even to a place with maybe even less revolutionary potential?
