You have more experience than I do, but my experience has been these public sector types are the same everywhere.
Where to escape coronavirus lockdowns/tyranny?

Not in rural areas. It's all locals working for the County, they all know each other since elementary school, and good luck for an outsider to ever get one of those coveted cushy government jobs, especially positions with retirement package.
They'd never dare to challenge status the quo, working in any county position or even being a family member - or well-paid requirement bye-bye. In fact I saw some of them whine about masks back in 2020, but they zip it up and even their families all puts masks on in stores because they're afraid to get nixed. They're held by the balls, as there's little employment and can lose nice retirement money also.
Yeah, agree. I live in a rural area of Florida where things are very normal, very good. It almost makes me consider staying here. However, today I visited a city for the first time in months, and was stunned at how utterly horrible the U.S. has become. I didn't think it could get much worse but it really was almost apocalyptic. A bunch of black guys were on the sidewalk preaching, they had a blasphemous picture of Jesus with horns, and seemed to be preaching that white people were the devil. They started yelling at me, saying I was the devil or something because I had a white t-shirt on.
Beyond these psychotic anarchist-socialist groups, which are malicious and intend to cause violence, there is a malicious government apparatus with huge amounts of money. Your local politicians won't stop what is coming and are likely a part of it. I'm sick to my stomach with what this country has become, and I don't buy any of these arguments to stay here. I'm trusting my gut instincts on this one and getting out to somewhere poor, hopefully corrupt, and hopefully a bit out of a city.

I’m in one of the states. The media outlets are all fearmongering like crazy because they’re all corporate owned, but mask compliance is borderline nonexistent anywhere except medical facilities (and even there only enforced by the door Nazis). You’ll see a few boomers walking around in masks in the large stores but that’s it.
There were some Moldovans at my high school. A freshman Moldovan told a senior girl where to put it after she mouthed off to him, her senior boyfriend jumped him at lunch at the 14 year old Moldovan beat the everyloving tar out of him in front of the whole school. All those guys were tough as nails. Some of them were white skinned and they were really cool. But there was a darker family and they were really scummy, I think they may have been gypsies or part gypsy or something. The kid who beat up the senior was one of the dark ones.
It's hard to say... they're doing the agenda, but a lot more slowly than other countries. The Mexican president seems to be against lockdowns and vaccines, as long as he's in power I feel safer here than any other country.
What happens after the next winter (i.e. flu season with millions of flu patients having some mRNA mystery soup in their system), nobody knows. I'm in wait and see mode right now. See what happens this winter and how various countries respond to it.
I should add that masks in Churches were the norm there too.
One thing i noticed about Georgia is how much graffiti is in English. That's weird and a bad sign. A LOT of it is malign GloboHomo / Degen stuff too. Weird creepy stuff almost. I dont know if this is from some NGO type goons, or just degen locals, but it's weird and you dont see anything like that sort of stuff (certainly remotely to that level) in Armenia, or Ukraine. It felt to me that there were malign groups there operating an agenda.
Either way i really wouldnt expect any pushback against this stuff in Georgia, at least as yet.
One thing i should add is that although masks are mandated in the street, with a 20 lari (approx 8dollars) fine, i never wore one, walked past police and govt security officials all the time, and never was stopped.
However it was very hot when we were there, up in the mid to high 30s, and as i say, something like 75% people masking in the street.
Another thing to consider is smart cities/zones.
You're not gonna be able to move more than 10km eventually, probably, in urban areas at least.
A mother here in Belarus was telling me all the kids now have to scan in to school.

Do the cops there wear masks? Here in nyc, they usually don’t but some do
No wonder people are having trouble following your perspectives on this area. Did Nebraska disappear since the last time I drove west?
I still don't understand why people continue to give Georgia so much attention on this forum. Just a strange place with a population that acts like literal NES NPCs. Go for the food and...nothing else.
I dont get it either. In happier times its a cool place with an interesting history, folk-culture, religious sites etc. But now? It's utterly Western simping politically, and will do whatever they're told in order to further their absurd designs on EU membership.
I also dont get how no one mentions Ukraine here either. It is WAY more chilled re covid, hardly anyone takes it seriously, nothing remotely like Georgia. The government / state is small and healthily scared of antagonising its population, who historically aren't afraid of kicking off and upsetting their nose-in-the-trough governmental gigs.
I'll now sit back until a Putin fanboy spews about 'muh JeWisH pReSiDeNt / nOt a rEaL cOuNtRy / I once stubbed my toe getting off a bus in Kiev'.
I'll add one last thing re Georgia, in the shopping mall in central Tbilsi (Galleria), they force you to walk past a video camera to enter. This is attached to a laptop, which shows all the people walking in, and presumably is recording them.
There's two aisle, one for entrance, one for exit, if you (as i did) happen to walk through the exit aisle (while entering), you are shouted at, and told to walk past the camera.
Obviously people are masked for this, but i can only conclude it is for some sort of Facial Recognition capture, which unless i'm mistaken still works on the masked.
It's very weird.
Also re the graffiti there, i took a few shots of some of it.
Saw this same "Anunaki" stencil quite a bit around there. It feels creepy and malign to me. There's also a lot of general poz and weirdly malign statements around written in English, which always feels unhealthy for a small country to do.
I got the feeling there's some sort of bad presence there, in terms on NGO's or weird occultist groups, i dont know, it just seemed a bit beyond the standard stuff.
Berlin also has a ton of this kind of stuff, as you'd expect. But to see it in a small, on the surface conservative Orthodox country like Georgia i found strangely unsettling.

You probably know but if you don't, these graffiti depict the idea that man was created as hybrid by the Anuniaki aliens.
Yeah i understand the mythology, the sumerians. Point being you see that stencil around a lot. It points towards ultimately demonic imagery imho.
Probably NGO's or Peace Corps trying to act like it is cool or revolutionary to be western.
Maybe the fake alien invasion will happen in Georgia!
If you're unvaxxd, why on earth would you bother?
My wife and I went to Georgia (we had to go), the whole trip in total resulted in 9 separate PCR tests = approx 375 dollars alone. Never mind the Covid insurance (relatively cheap, but still a pain), and the generally unpleasant experience that is travelling in the post Covid world.
I dont know where you're from, but i'd suggest finding something to do in your own country instead.
I am from the UK, and was thinking of going to Tirana Albania, or Spain, just didnt want to go anywhere with passports for the V. Thanks anyway
Could be wrong, but as i understand if you're not vaxxd, pretty much everywhere requires PCR test. Albania have recently fallen into line here (as i understand).
In Georgia you need one to enter country, then one taken 72 hours later. Then again one to leave, and one on return to home country. Approx 40-50usd each time.
The whole thing is just a racket at this point. Pop up PCR tests all over Tbilsi. It's just another way to tax tourists. No doubt govt are wetting their beak from it all too.
