I’ll share my wishlist and philosophy here.
If pro-socialists win in the west, I believe it’s good. Sadly sometimes things have to go too bad in order to kick ourselves out. That’s when we lack self-love, that we need such a motivation. But then, taking the step and leaving, makes us different. It changes us. So, I’m glad to welcome more westerners who escape the tax hells and socialism, willing to accept responsibility for own life, wandering around the world and finding what truly works for them. Everything is for the good.
Propaganda is pretty easy to distinguish with the usual black and white narrative as it helps to make it simpler for the brain to distinguish the good and the bad. It’s usable on the parts of society which is not that developed, easier to understand.
The real truth is usually neutral, rather complex, with many players in the game. Hard to grasp.
Sadly even those proclaiming how they are strong at ‘critical thinking’ are failing this battle. It’s really hard to zoom out.
Canadians or Australians getting closed their bank accounts for the content they share, UK scaring people for the content to not get imprisoned, people in Czechia hoping people with opposite opinions going to the trial - from the state level to the human hate. Where people instead of working on wellbeing of their life, call for social media moderation and more restrictions, as as long as you follow the accepted narrative of the black and white scale, you’re the good one, you’re the right one.
I am pretty ensured people killing ‘the bad guys’ are and were sure that they are those good ones.
Be careful though: you can’t escape yourself.
What scares me is maybe not just the fact of imprisonment of a pro freedom human who haven’t don’t anything bad (not wanting to ‘moderate’ conversation is actually a good ethical and moral question related to the freedom of speech and privacy). I think it’s the way how the western media narrate the story, his personality, what ‘has happened’, and it seems getting worse and worse every day. It’s the way how one shapes reality into another, where the facts dissolve.
I understand if I went to the US I’d most likely meet more likeminded people, yet I prefer to pick from those who already escaped the tax hells. To me the effort is a good filter on relevant people.
