    That’s not necessarily the case, in Latin America we are propagandised to hell on how great an opportunity it is to go the USA. It goes from tourism to “study abroad” tuition schemes or just foreign companies with overvalued currencies poaching our talent to pay less than their own country’s minimum wage.

    All under the guise of “you might get rich (or deported)” or “it’s safer there (if you’re white)”

    Edit: lmao I misread your comment. I still have met Eurolibs who want to move to the USA to make quick bucks by working for Real Estate or shit like that, but those are beyond hope.

          I actually used to like him when I thought he was just some train nerd who complains about cars and highways, but then the Ukraine war broke out and my feed was flooded by his racist tirades against Russians. These people can’t hide for too long, it seems.

          Euro = currency

          Lib = I don’t know. Liberal? That has different connotations depending on where you live and how badly funded your education is

            Yeah, you’re new here. Euro is short for cracker European or Europhile and lib is short for liberal, people who follow the liberal ideology of private property and bourgeois “democracy.”

            The first one is prevalent in two subcontinents up north in the Atlantic, while the other is basically the same all over the world, though I guess some “conservatives” are not aware that they are liberals too.

            But please, do clarify how “badly funded” education might change the meaning of liberalism.

              My dear boy I can assure you that your incoherent gibberish has explained it perfectly for everyone reading

              I think we can all read between the lines when you say “all over the world” that you mean the people you’ve met on your far-flung travels to the drive-through McDonald’s in the next county over
