  • I plan on leaving Germany. I would prefer to leave after I studied at a university but I feel less and less comfortable here politically. So does my girlfriend who isn’t a Marxist but she is very open to all of my ideas and support most of them but she is kind of anti-intellectual in a way that she doesn’t like reading and doesn’t care for history.

    I want to leave for China, I’m leaning Chinese already, but my girlfriend rather opposed to the idea. One thing is that she doesn’t speak the language, the other is that she is a little bit scared of China because of western propaganda. She knows most of it is propaganda, but she doesn’t know how China is actually since we have never been there. I don’t know either but I’m more optimistic. I admire that she doesn’t blindly fall for any kind of propaganda and thinks critically about anything.

    One major issue for her is that first aid seems not to exist there? We follow a German rapper on TikTok who lives in Shenzhen for a lot of years and it’s very well integrated in Chinese society. He told a story about calling 120 (i think)/ emergency services for a drunk dude who fell unconscious. His girlfriend immediately left the scene and he called them but once they arrived they asked who called them instead of helping them. Apparently calling emergency services is an admission of guilt and you can be sued by the injured.

    In Germany it’s a crime not to help and call emergency services. She wouldn’t want to live somewhere were you don’t get help if you’re injured or need help desperately.

    She also doesn’t want to lose her privilege of being part of the labor aristocracy. I get that she wants to live a nice life. I would be fine in a poor farmer’s village in some mountains but China is becoming a country where you have great living standards so I hope until we are ready to move we evaluate China better.

    Cuba would be another contestant for us since it’s nice and tropical as well as very progressive but we wouldn’t have the same standard of living there. The lack of good internet accessablity is her biggest concern but the language is a bit easier to learn.

    In conclusion I would love to leave the imperical core with my gf but we are uncertain where we would be comfortable.
