credible exit sucks
rhetorically it’s just used to deflect any time anything sucks, and that’s before we hollow out more and more of what “exit” actually consists of
i think about this post frequently. there’s a lot to say about it, but one is that sometimes when people say “credible exit” it feels like when states tell citizens “if you don’t like our laws you can leave”

it’s just depressing when i hear the phrase now. and i suppose it was never cheery, like the implication was always that you’d have a reason to want to exit, you’d be escaping something undesirable. but now it’s like “this is our highest aspiration and even though we’re doing ‘future adversary’
things, it’s not that bad cuz you can theoretically dip, ain’t that cute”
