I’m old enough to remember American mass culture that celebrated diversity like it was its job and people (except rare Nazis) were pretty happy to celebrate and defend it. See:

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.
There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.
Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

If you have a big social media audience based in Minnesota and have a network then why not use it the last month for helping rents, gofundme or grocery runs? Rather than posting nothing for a month and then posting a video about why you are moving away.
hey @startribune.com @byjenna.bsky.social you should follow up with the one minute tours guy 1 year later on why he crowdfunded $65k for a new youtube series on minnesota and has now moved away from minnesota to australia. i’ve already seen people pissed because they donated and he left
