Just somebody let me know when I can claim asylum in a more civilized country, as a persecuted class, where that class is 'I am Autistic'.

Till then, I'll continue not publically existing.

The US admin has already publically stated multiple times that they basically wanna holocaust us, send all the people with mental 'disorders', who use prescribed meds... to farm labor detox work camps.

Just go look for quotes from Health Minister Brainworm.

the most insulting aspect has got to be the idea that plainly bonkers people are the ones making these aspersions. RFK and Trump are nutbags.

Might want to look up your family tree. If you're related to any Canadian, at any point (think great great great grandparents), you can get a passport.

I actually did this, milked the shit out of a free ancenstry.com membership, before they charged me.

Long story short:

Traced my lineage back to the American Revolutionary War? 🇺🇲 ✅

Found out that I am apparently technically, literally an Italian by their blood right heritage laws, and the timing of when my ancestors had children vs got naturalized? 🇮🇹 ✅

(Do I speak any Italian? ❌)

Do I have any Canadian heritage? 🇨🇦 ❌❌❌

Nope. Literally none, back to ~1700 - 1800, through anyone.

So... maybe learning Italian is my future, idfk.

EDIT:

lol, welp:

tl;dr nevermind , Italy can apparently just amend its law via the judiciary, at any time, so... I am not Italian.

perfetto

If you have a highly desired skill in developed countries, like medecine, engineering, highly skilled technician etc. it's a good way to get a long term visa supported by the hiring organization. Usually those countries will advertise the professions they want next to professional visa procedures. Otherwise you can try to marry someone from there.

I'm not, and I have no international potential wives.

I have been saying, on lemmy, hey anybody wanna do a sham marriage, since Trump got elected again... no takers so far.

Maybe you can give it a try in real life.

Hard to do when you're crippled and can't walk too far or operate a vehicle.

(Its the US, healthcare and public transit don't exist / are scams)

Mmm I see you enjoy playing hard mode. Get the skills for a full remote office job with visa suport, then seduce some colleague with your emoji game on Slack.
