I was thinking out loud about this on a reddit thread, kind of going through my idea of different scenarios. "Maslow's hierarchy of GTFO".
As in... if you're in 1930ies Germany, you get out with whatever you can take, but you get out ASAP.
If you're in, say, Hungary... you don't really need to rush your exit. You might find the politics unpleasant, but you can leave whenever and take the time to take your stuff with you.

- Entuaka 2y agoWhat would be your trigger to GTFO? If you wait too long, that's also a risk, if too many other people want to leave at the same time.

- Maro 2y agoI've left Hungary ~10 years ago, partially because of the politics. Hungary is essentially a failed state, people just don't know yet. Like ~100 years ago, poor hungarian leadership managed to position itself on the wrong side of history, and once the phase transition comes and passes, and the better part of the world gets back on track towards more liberalism and democracy, like it always does, nobody will be doing Hungary any favors.. same as after WW2.
- davidw 2y agoMakes sense. Hope you landed somewhere where you are happy and doing well. I guess my point is that most people aren't in imminent physical danger in Hungary right now and could just leave and that'd be fine for them and the regime. That's a better situation to be in than "leave in 72 hours" for most people.
