Interesting how much you we're able to derive from my question.
"if you don't like it, leave" was the sentiment, I pointed out how you sound. It sounds like something I would expect from an american chud- hence posting a shirt I thought you'd like.
Nah, that's how you want to understand it, because you're here for the fight. As you can see from cowbee's answer it's a valid question.
They're more charitable than I am, frankly.
I am Russian and the reason I don't move back is because I'm trans and have a life here in the US that I'm not looking to uproot. I'm more inclined to do organizing where I live now and I certainly don't have the resources to move back home and start from scratch there. On top of that it wouldn't gain me anything, I would be trading one set of reactionary assholes in power for another.
If life is bleak I'm going to do mutual aid and try to find like minded people to survive with, not run away.
