Time to apply for asylum in Russia, or maybe Florida
To get into the US just make it to mexico and walk across. Get a tan, dye your hair black, grow a mustache, and answer every question with "no anglais" and CBP will let you stay.
Russia might be a bit tougher but also might be a better long term strategy.
You jest, but this is unironically one interesting problem revealed by the last few years, with living on an isolated island (Australia, New Zealand, anywhere in the Pacific, and, I guess, Iceland... The UK too, to a lesser extent, but they are much, much less isolated) - even now that we can legally leave the country (without being stopped at the airport), flights out of Australia are insane. Just insane. Even East Coast - West Coast flights are like, two months worth of rent, where they are even available... And as I'm sure you know, there are no ferries out, lol...
Thus, the majority of people, excluding the wealthy, are trapped here. Thus, the government knows this, and knows that no one is going to do shit (apathetic population, bipartisan support, recently elected government so they can claim a "mandate"), so they can merrily push whatever measures they want to their heart's content...
If we do become a full-on, openly autocratic state (permanently, unlike during Covid which was "temporary"), the whole being an island thing is going to make this even worse than it might otherwise be....
So yeah. That's one "advantage", I suppose, for people escaping the failed states of that part of the world. Y'all have land borders. People don't, generally speaking, need to stow away on a yacht, or a cruise ship or something, to get out...
Given the whole "prison island" thing, this is, of course, entirely by design, lol...
the whole being an island thing is going to make this even worse than it might otherwise be....
Especially since Australia is in the middle of nowhere. Can't cobble together a raft and paddle to freedom like Cubans. Also sucks that the closest civilized country is New Zealand, which is just as bad as Australia with this NWO bullshit.

When they deport you to Québec, come and say hello.
