If it's settler guilt- there's an easy fix, really. Which also happens to involve moving... personally I see absolutely nothing wrong with leaving when shit gets rough, while I don't identify as a settler exactly (Asian-Canadian) I sometimes wish my parents never moved to this hellhole myself (though I'm glad I met my partner as a result and wouldn't change that for the world).

You don't owe a damn thing to the country you're in, particularly and especially not a settler-state, let alone a capitalist, and particularly, neoliberal one. Hell, if you really want to look at it a certain way, you could think about it as that leaving, as a settler, is reducing the core settler demographic- your own parting gift to the indigenous peoples.
