I'm seriously at the point where I cannot participate in this thread, or even the news anymore, without getting to such a point where I would either: a) actively participate in the overthrow of the government, or b) completely separate myself and family from the truth of what we have become.
The revolutionary inside of me cannot make the leap in cognitive dissonance that would allow me to participate anymore.
I have hated what this country has become during my lifetime to such a degree in enduring my own circumstance (a lot of which my own choices have wrought) that I've become a self persecuted meme and completely overwhelmed, but have always held the hope that I could overcome, this being a country where one could, but am seeing that my faith in this ideal has been misplaced.
If I am to be completely honest, all that I have done to improve myself after my previous life has been a complete waste of time, and a lot of money (debt) in overcoming my circumstances. That being said, if we aren't even human enough as a nation that we could generate the compassion to keep families of asylum seekers together, what would give me the hope that one could truly get a second chance in this life?
I am disgusted. But even moreso that I am literally stuck here as no other country on this Earth would allow me to immigrate.
I'm truly fucked.
