I feel lucky to be from an immigrant family. My family is Mexican, my parents just chose to come here "for a better life". I'm not trying to move to Bali, Europe, or anywhere else, I just want to go back to where my family came from, and where I am also a citizen, for a better life.

"real and somber dinner table conversions" hits so close to home for me.

I told my boyfriend part of why I want to leave is that I don't think I have it in me to fight. "and by 'stay and fight' I don't mean fundraise and pass petitions. I expect there to be actual guns" (this was prior to the events of the past weekend).

His response was "I think I maybe AM prepared to stay and fight. And I also expect there may be guns".

So. Flee? Join up in the civil war? Close our eyes and pretend it's not happening? Become a refugee after it's happened? Do it together, or is this going to be a lifestyle level difference of opinion? I feel like the options are looking increasingly bleak.

how do people like this even exist

The best part of a civil war would be millions of refugees flooding into Canada and chudding it up to prepare them for their eventual liberation.

Crazy :marseybloodymaniac: how no one jumps to teach or take up arms for citizenship, yet its unlivable here. Life threatening :marseydeath: even.

Turns out most countries don't let in millions of unskilled, unemployed immigrants every year.
