OK. What should I do if I don't fall under a refugee description, don't have any immediate family in the EU, my diploma means nothing to EU, and have no bag of gold to immigrate illegaly?

This is me, plain and simple. I would like to immigrate, but I have no legal grounds.

Serious question, no gimmicks or laughs: should I die or be cancelled by the rest of the world?

> should I die or be cancelled by the rest of the world?

You should not die. But you don’t have an inaliable right to thrive in your country.

Again, not trying to be a dick. War sucks. I am truly sorry you’re hurting. And I am not suggesting it’s your duty to join a resistance movement or whatever. But these are considerations and costs we must all weigh when our governments do horrible things. Most of the time, sadly, the world won’t care. We (America) have war criminals who should be in jail. But occasionally, the world gets horrified and rises to the occasion. Even that occasional threat is better than nothing.

  • This is a nice sentiment, but in the meantime, we're getting F'd for the actions we tried to stop. We failed, but we did the best we could, without resorting to violence.

    I agree, this is not enough. But this is by no means an excuse to cancel an entire nation.

    • Agreed, but it beats having your country invaded, your cities shelled and starved. That's what is in the balance, compared to that you have a luxury situation.
