Well, from a more pragmatic standpoint, you could be living in a less than ideal, or much less than ideal situation, yet it can be better than the alternatives. It can also cost way more than its worth to do anything to change your situation, i.e. leaving the country, or trying to change the place. Realistically, you're not going to change anything regardless of how much information you promulgate or how emphatically you protest unless you get lucky. So what's left to do? Bitch.

The sentiment that if you bitch about something then you should let it go is ridiculous. People bitch about life all the time. It's far easier to leave life than leaving a country. Just jump of a building. But I would not advocate people doing that. I don't see how the sentiment of "if you don't like this country, leave" makes any more sense than "if you don't like this life, leave."
