       150 years ago if you didn't like the politics of an area you really could, for the most part, Just Move.Don't like your state? Head west my son/lass!Don't like your country? Borders are big and empty, cross 'em!That doesn't work nowadays. People aren't so much people any more as sets of data, and for us to be able to keep our lives - ties to society - we have to keep access to, updating, that data.There are no frontiers to flee to. No open spaces.No running. Only pushing for change. /1

       And I think that's something a lot of folks don't realize."Oh, just flee the red states!"How? To where? With what means? Fleeing requires money to start and money when you arrive. An American refugee in their own country has no help.'Flee the country!"How? To where? You can't get out of the US without a passport any easier than you can enter another country without one, and travel once again costs money.Refuge costs money.There is no fleeing Capitalism. And thus it must be ended. /2
