    Lmfao this is so funny and sad at the same time, the US is already the second country I’ve lived in. Seem like anywhere you can go, dictatorships just happens anyways.

    These types of things are so easily said, so much more difficult to do. The US was one of the easiest countries to immigrate to, and that took over a decade of waitlisting. Like they started with the paperwork before I was even born.

    Like idk you can’t just hope over to another country and expect everything to be perfect.

    Like what next, go to the third country, start learning another language and history all over again, then some wanna be dictator gets elected, and I go running to a fourth country again? When does this ever end?

    Like… unless they actually starts doing a Tiananmen, sometimes you just have to accept life isn’t perfect. You can’t always have a place to run to, because there aren’t a whole list of countrys ready to accept an average normie that doesn’t have any special skills like idk nuclear scientist or something…

      Let me guess, you immigrated from a country ruined entirely by the US and fail to recognize that? Your sample size is 2 countries, expand your outlook, there are way better places to be. No country is perfect, but your conclusion doesn’t match reality.

      The US was one of the easiest countries to immigrate to, and that took over a decade of waitlisting. Like they started with the paperwork before I was even born.

      You see that contradiction there? The US is known to be one of the hardest countries to immigrate to, it was just more desirable and that’s probably why your parents chose it.

      And yes, get educated, get experience, and utilize that to go to any of the “hard to get into” countries that base immigration on merit, and you’ll have a much better life. Many of them don’t require you to learn the language if you speak English.
