Move out if you can. Don't bind your future to a country under the heel of a madman.

"Just leave the country if you don't like it."

Why not moving to another country?

I don't understand why this is getting downvoted. It's worthwhile to hear a perspective on why someone might want to leave a particular country and the options they see available to them.

you have to realize that sometimes it is not that easy for people to just leave. it's not like they just quickly buy a plane ticket and fly off to some safe country and the happy ending is complete.you'll have to to be wealthy enough to afford finding a way out. you'll have to be willing to leave your family/friends. you'll have to be willing to leave the place you might be very attached to. you'll have to be willing to put up with all the bullshit and xenophobia

Some people may find it manageable to leave behind all the places and people they ever knew and move to another country. Many would not want to do this.

You could also just move to a more sensible country?

Out of interest - what is stopping you from moving to one of these other countries?

Not everyone is willing to leave family, friends, and country behind.
