With the way things are going and America clearly about to go fascist. I’m thinking about leaving and get a job. Is there a way to become an overseas computer science/ Engineering professor. I’m thinking about going to either Cuba, Mexico, and South Africa.

I feel like every couple of weeks someone ends up in your current headspace and posts something like this. I wonder how many average US Americans are thinking the same. Probably not so many, considering the sampling bias of Lemmygrad, but it's a little humorous to imagine some years down the line Cuba and China having a substantial population of recently arrived disillusioned US migrant communities, a sort of reverse Gusano effect.

It wouldn't be that far fetched. It's just the leftist version of something we're already seeing happen, which is when religious conservatives who think the US/Europe are too liberal decide to move to Russia. Just like there are instances of that, there are bound to be instances of leftists wanting to be in a more progressive society and moving to China or Cuba. But really the real driver for both are the deteriorating material conditions in the US, and we're going to be seeing this phenomenon more as the material situation worsens.
