I'm looking over my options in fleeing for safety as things get worse down here. I am considering joining friends in Oregon but that might not safe enough. I'm gay, atheist, have a college degree (not in anything useful, however), and am everything the nazi's down here hate.

I need to get out.

I know you guys are justifiably pissed at us Americans right now, but if I were to try and move to Canada (and I have no idea how I could possibly do such a thing in time) would I be welcomed there? Would I be safe? Or would I be seen as an aggressor or threat of some sort?

I need to get out of here but if it means going somewhere everyone will hate me I might not be any better off.

I suggest going to Southeast Asia instead. tickets are a couple hundred, everybody is really cool about genders and pretty much everything else there, everything is cheap, you can live indefinitely on tourist visas and if you need money you can always teach English.

I dont have any qualifications to teach.

aside from being a native English speaker, you don't need any.

The school will provide the curriculum, training, you'll get to shadow a teacher for a few days and you'll have an assistant in class to wrangle the students, so all you have to do is speak English in a native accent for 20 minutes at a time.

you can also watch any number of YouTube videos to learn what teaching English is like, or you can choose from hundreds of other remote jobs If you don't want to teach.

as long as you make a few hundred a month, you can survive comfortably in Southeast Asia.

hostels are $100 a month, 200 a month for food is enough.

If you're making 500 usd a month, you can get a private place for $250 or $300, and keep the same food budget.
