I feel you, I've gone through similar problems but from the other side of the world. In case if you need advice:
Consider eastern europe. From what I know, you'll have 3 months-visa free, that's more than enough to find a job in a big city even without any kind of connections. All you need is moving expenses and a few months of rent, and you'll have a very good chances of getting into some kind of residency program (do research your options in advance)
The language barrier will be a thing, but english will get you into many doors if you choose a big city. You can work on your language afterwards.
You'll fail a lot, it will be very stressful, you will be outsider in the eyes of many, but trust me your chances are much bigger than some people I know that have done a similar thing and succeeded. And after you succeed (and you will, if you try and don't give up) the understanding that government's power over you is not absolute will stay with you forever.
All that said: I'm not saying you need to leave. I'm just saying that you can.
Hell yeah, listen to this person. They know what they're talking about.
