Well. I live in authoritarian country (which I'm not proud of). I do pay taxes. I know there's a lot of brainwashing in mass media (which I don't listen to). Corruption is everywhere. Any opposition activity is suppressed by government hard enough. You need some balls to organize an event (most likely organizer will end up in prison for at least a few weeks afterwards). Even though I don't really want to relocate at this point (might sound crazy, and I'm already not sure for how long I won't change my mind). So. What are my options, so it won't be as hell is fun?

I'm sorry. That sounds terrible. I think many are too quick to just say "move somewhere else!" without thinking through all the economic, social, familial, cultural, and legal ties that bind us to a place. Not to mention the fact that societies generally only improve because of the efforts of the population who determines they should stay and fight rather than flee. But I can't blame anyone for taking either of those paths, or even just keeping their head down and trying to muddle along. No easy answers.
