People should be well aware of expatriates and how to become one as well as having emergency funds for it if their country has signs of turning dystopian

I know it may feel hard leaving your home country for some but would you rather stay and be forced to participate under dystopian laws or leave for a better country

It's not easy to gain entry to another "better" country for most people. You tend to need money, connections, or specialist skills. When people say "well, then I'll just move to another country" they may be unaware of this.

My guy, I'm just trying to pay the bills. I do not have the excess income to fill a go bag.

I learned that I'm essentially trapped in my country without massive amounts of money or a rare skill set. I have neither. I'll just have to ride the fascist wave out if they succeed.

Im going from Brazil to Portugal (not related to politics, only saying), I'm going with the help of my company and still would need around 30x the Brazilian minimum wage for the entire trip. Only to get a house to leave would be 18 to 21x. All of this to still be far away from your family and all of this to sometimes be treated as an alien.
