This really had me like:
(In all seriousness, I just went there to upload some images to host privately, as that’s the only reason why I keep it around, but my eyes wandered.)
Wow it must be nice to have the luxury to just flee the country, boy I wish I could.
At this point where’s even the place to flee?
I’d love to live in Vietnam, beautiful country and there’s an expat community, granted it’s mostly boomer though so it’d probably be hell.
Extremely beautiful area. Just not sure I could handle the humidity.
and scared of what the area will look like when seas rise
maybe aim for hanoi yeah… I had no idea HCMC was sinking…
lets just say I still would have more faith in vietnam handling sea level rise than say, florida, and I don’t think northern vietnam is at risk of wet bulb temps any time too soon, but it would still be hot and humid for a westerner
I’ve been looking into what it would take to move to China. There’s probably better places to live in 2024 but at their current rate by 2050 it’ll be a fantastic place to live.
By 2050 we could be 20 years into socialist “Tired of winning comrades?” (Whatever ends up being the Chinese Pepe) memes.
The EU or Switzerland
Aren’t they having a far right problem too?
Yuuuuuup
it’s easier to name the countries that aren’t
Yea, we are, but better than the USA.
Ehh, it’s not worse than the USA but the future doesn’t look bright for much of Europe
lol
lol
Fat chance with Switzerland.
- It’s one of the most expensive countries on the planet to live in. For example, rents in the cities are comparable to Washington D.C. and Vancouver, and other living expenses aren’t cheap either.
- The right-wing SVP (racist/isolationist much like Trump) has been the majority party for decades. Hostility against foreign people is high, and immigration is the main scapegoat.
- Competition on the housing market is extremely high and there are usually dozens of people registering for any given apartment viewing. You’ll also be competing with the rest of Europe, especially Germany, France and Italy.
Don’t even bother if you haven’t got a really well-paying job lined up.
I think my mom’s citizenship can get me into Russia? 🤔
99.9% of the people who post this rhetoric have zero serious intentions of moving to a different country (this goes for conservatives who say the same thing). It’s just another form of “the sky is falling!”
What parallel reality do libs live in where you can emigrate at the drop of a hat. It’s a long, arduous, dog-shit process, and that’s if you’re a cishet white yuppie! God help you if you’re not.
The reality is that it’s the same people posting the same shit every 4 years.
Judging by the ancient meme, this guy was probably posting about wanting to leave the country if Romney became president.
lmao people said this before he got elected the first time, and nobody did it.
there is no level of fascism that liberals cannot acclimate to
Lena Dunham specifically
It’s hilarious how Americans think they can simply move to any other country at the drop of a hat. It’s easy for us to VISIT most other nations, but permanently moving is a time consuming process in which you have to prove to have some sort of value to their economy. The only shortcuts are marriage or dual citizenship from birth. Or shitloads of cash to bribe your way in. The majority of people who vowed to move to Canada when Trump took office would be rejected, and that’s one of the easier nations to emigrate to.
If an American wants to move to where I live they need to have a job here in advance that either pays USD 70.000 a year or that is on a list of jobs with a labour shortage. Applying alone will cost a USD 1000 fee and they will also need to pay a deposit for mandatory language lessons that they will lose of they don’t pass the exam. On top of that comes the significant expenses that comes with moving to another country.
Just moving somewhere else is only an option for those Americans who would be unaffected or benefit from a more authoritarian regime.
Australia is pretty easy, just need to spend $100k on a 3 year degree here and spend another year as a permanent resident
Then you can hop on a plane to NZ without needing a visa, stuff around for a few years and pick an NZ citizenship while you’re at it
I’ve noticed an increase in Americans around Melbourne lately tbh. Several with the same person always talking like they barely know each other and are trying to get to know each other. Maybe sham marriages are up?
Wow, they are still using memes and reaction images from 2010? It’s like a time capsule
Is 9gag still around?
My Norwegian friends send me 9gag memes all the time.
It’s always had a very Scandinavian nerd vibe, so that checks out
Fuckin love em
“I’m not gonna do anything at home to instill meaningful changes, I’ll just simply keep voting and if home becomes too uncomfortable for me, I’ll flex my social mobility and leave!”
~The liberal
Makes me think of the astroturfing kicked off on Imgur at the start of the Russia-Azov War.
Happens every election season
The place is a shitpile these days
Most of the normie internet is sadly
Nobody else in the world wants you because wherever you go you dumbass liberals will be a net increase to the right everywhere in the world.
Every country be like “I’m low on citizens who leave at the first sign of inconvenience, of course I’ll let OP in”.
It’s like an alternate reality, even more out-of-touch Reddit
20 bucks this person supports “legal” immigration but not “illegal” immigration and opposes seasonal migrations.
wow I haven’t seen that damn bear in so long
2016 nostalgia is the most cringe form of nostalgia
motherfcuker if I could leave I would already be gone
Many of them can’t either, but the ones that could still wont…
I remember a community college professor I had who used to joke about this in 2016.
