    You ever have one of those days where you recognize the Axis reforming and have this all-encompassing existential dread wash over you when you realize you won’t be able to escape in time and definitely aren’t armed enough

        I bout made my peace with dying here when I realized that anywhere I’d actually want to go and still use my trained skillset will not take me because I’m already coming in broken. Like, I’d have to literally commit fraud concealing pre-existing conditions to properly emigrate-- assuming I even managed to stack about 100 g’s in 5 years just to account for a one-way out, exit fee, and living arrangements on the other side.

          Damn, that’s truly terrible and unfair. I’m sure there are ways to illegally emigrate and have a decent life but yea I’m sure they’re expensive or otherwise very difficult. I’ve kind of just accepted this place might be my violent grave because I have no marketable skills and a romanticized deathwish. I hope you find some luck escaping. I will say if I personallt tried to escape I might be more inclined to look somewhere like Mexico etc.rather than China etc., not only convenience and easier to cross unnoticed but for me personally it would be a lot easier to grasp the culture/language.

      I think I’m not understanding, would the Axis in this case have the same membership as in the past, or consist of a mix of old and new members?
