The right-wing fascist ascendancy is a global phenomenon, and hopping across borders does not mean you can actually hide from it. You may find a slightly better local maximum for your particular needs, but this is a global problem and it requires a global, solidaric solution.

Every American Republican thought the same thing about Drump, I'll just wait this out and the crazy will disappear.... So they abandon their voice and constituents, the party dies an indignant death (pighead at the pub included) and Labour/Dems move further right, trying to be in the middle

More of the 'techbros should self-regulate' bs "days before Sanders began his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour in front of packed arenas across the country, Jeffries quietly met with more than 150 Silicon Valley-based donors in tony Los Altos Hills to “mend fences” with the billionaire big tech bosses"

I'm excited for all those readers! The ruminations on time, the brother - there's one passage that always comes to my aging mind - that opens the door to re-reading it. If I may, if Moon Tiger by Penelope Lively is unknown to you, it's a lovely novel that might work great for a group.
