metoosalem Link ParentThis goes both ways for me. Some things I wish I didn’t know but then again that doesn’t make them less real and pretending they aren’t has brought us into this mess.This goes both ways for me.

Comment on Understanding the leftist that didn't vote: "Everybody else gets one, but not me" in ~society
metoosalem (edited )Link ParentThis is the core issue i feel too many people aren't seeing. Yes Democrats sold out their country to the capital and I fully understand why leftist wouldn't want to vote for them. But it truly was...We in 'the west' live in neoliberal capitalist societies in which the wealth gap is getting larger every year and people die because of poverty while billionaires try to control the public opinion.
This is the core issue i feel too many people aren't seeing. Yes Democrats sold out their country to the capital and I fully understand why leftist wouldn't want to vote for them. But it truly was the lesser of two evils. Voting democrat could have given Americans at least a chance at pushing for more social policies by getting out on the streets and demonstrating for it. Good luck with that in the christo fascist hell that is now to come.

I have thought long about it, I know it's not all sunshine and rainbows but life is already pretty close to a living hell for me where I am and its about to get worse.

My worries are that Sweden is close neighbors with a right moving Europe and Russia is also right over there.

Right now I want to know what Countries are viable AT ALL.
I’m from Germany but my intention was for this thread to include everyone who’s suddenly developed an urge to leave to give us all something to look further into.

I think I'm not the only one asking themselves, whether it's time to pack up and leave. But where to?
So for the sake of brainstorming I need your help. As for myself I'm willing to go basically anywhere as long as I can imagine a future there.Edit: Since you all are getting caught up in telling me how naive/wrong/misguided I am, I'm boiling it down to one question:
What countries are not on the verge of descending into fascism and are accepting in some form or another of westerners moving there?
All I want is countries I can look into myself and give people in my spot something to look into, please for the love of all that is holy if you don't have anything positive to say, save it.

Comment on German government coalition collapses as Olaf Scholz sacks Finance Minister Christian Lindner in ~society
metoosalem Link ParentI wish I knew... Any recommendations are most welcome. I've been thinking about New Zealand, Argentina or one of its neighbors, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, some small Asian country... but I...Where is there to go that's better, at this point?
I wish I knew... Any recommendations are most welcome.
I've been thinking about New Zealand, Argentina or one of its neighbors, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, some small Asian country... but I haven't dared look too much into and I already know some countries on this list are not viable at all. But now is the time to get serious about it and weigh off my options, that's all I can do at the moment.

Nothing good can come from this anymore with the incessant greens bashing in the media and the infuriating reluctance whether or not to go through with banning the obviously fascist AfD this country is running full speed into the abyss and I don't want to be here for it.
I did wake up my neighbors this morning though when I read Lindner has been sacked. About fucking time.

Sure I get it, it’s PROBABLY not going to be as bad as a war torn third world country but I’m not from the states and looking at the bigger picture here we now have an openly known Putin puppet as president of the united states who has voiced notions of dropping out of NATO. Need I spell out the global ramifications this will cause? If you had asked me fifteen years ago how we would end up in a ww3 scenario I would have told you I couldn’t imagine although I had this dull feeling that Russia is up to something. Nowadays? I’d rather not talk about it.
For the sake of all of us I hope you’re right.

No I fully understand. It’s a tough decision to make and you don’t have to make it today. But asking your kids how they feel about it I think they can handle. They are seeing all of this unfold too yes?
