Move to a neutral country. Live cheaply. Keep one's head done and live discretely.

I really don't know many other solutions. Once fascism and totalitarianism are achieved, there really aren't too many non-violent means to return to democracy.

Eventually, the fascists go after everyone in every group. Then they come to a terrible end once they've destroyed their county. History shows us this is true.

Why wait around and watch?
