Canada is one of the countries the US exploding might hit. Choose a farther nation.

Australia I guess... (Cuz I don't wanna be on "terf Island" lol, they withdrew from EU so no more schengen access, pointless to go there)

I really want a English speaking country since I don't really wanna learn another language, I had a advantage of being 8 when I learned English, and I no longer have that advantage.

NZ Kinda small isn't it?

I don't think there's a lot of Chinese diaspora in NZ, so Australia would fit me better.

Now the problem is, how do I even get an immigration visa there? Impossible lol

I'm honestly only "lucky"¹ to leave China because I have aunts in the US so they petitioned for my father (aka: their brother) for immigration visa... took like 10-20 years for it to process. They filed the application before I was even born.

¹I mean, if you consider moving from an authoritarian regime to a... now declining-democracy/hybrid-regime to be "lucky"

No idea how I'd even go to Australia.

I was very technically born outside of US soil. I was born on the medical deck of The USS Enterprise (CVN-65). Since that was The Flagship of The Navy at the time, the patch of international waters I was born in was definitely US territory, at the time, but not US soil. I can run for president just fine as I am a natural born US citizen, born to a veteran, in an unbroken chain of veterans, and families that were here in 1670 and 1720. I'm as US citizen as you can get. I also have German citizenship thanks to my great-great-great-geandfather who immigrated from Bavaria.

All that is to say that I don't have any ill feelings towards you, for wanting to flee a place that has become unsafe for you and yours.

I'm staying and fighting because it is unsafe for you and yours.

I honestly don't know where "home" is.

I have a very pro-democracy view that most Mainland Chinese will reject me for.

I mean, I don't wanna live there and hear all the BS about how supposedly the CCP is "so great" and they have a firewall blocking everything.

Simultaneously, althought I do identify with certain elements of "being an American" such as the core priciples of Constitution, Democracy, Freedom, Separation of Powers, Rule of Law..., but then again 1/3 of the US is like infested with xenophobes and so called "patriots" that are actually just anti-constitution. And these anti-constitutional people has already infiltrated the government as we've evidently seen.

Honestly, I hightly doubt there is a democratic country that is just open arms accepting refugees like me... because I don't think I'd really be considered a refugee yet, there are no real evidence I can provide that I'm being persecuted.

So... for now, I'm just stuck here in the US lol.

This is the only citizenship I have anyways.

I understand the concept of not knowing where home is.

Where did I grow up? I was born in Virginia, kind of, in international waters with a huge contingency, called the USS Enterprise CVN-65, and promptly left the state not of my own volition. 5 years of my childhood, until the age of 5, in California. 5 years of my childhood in Indiana. The other 6 years before I went to university were spent in Alaska, New York, Washington/ Vancouver, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Minnesota.

My "Home" is The Earth. I firmly believe that fighting the current regimes worldwide will result in The Earth being one People, and humanity being the first unified family that makes up that people before I am allowed to die.
