Doomers don’t want to save the world. They want the world to end so they can be right. That’s the whole bit. That’s the entire psychology. They’d rather be vindicated in the rubble than proven wrong in a future that works.

@Daojoan No. It's more, oh please, let me be wrong. Really wrong. So wrong.
If there's one thing I'd love to be it's wrong.
DAMMIT. *sighs*

If the poll is accurate this country is officially utterly and irredeemably fucked.

I don't want to live here anymore.

If I had unlimited money I'd settle for the Cayman islands.

English speaking, warm climate, low crime and a small relatively weak government that shouldn't be able to intrude on peoples private lives the way a large well organised one can.

But, I have almost no resources so I'm stuck living under soft authoritarianism that might turn very hard in a couple of years.
