A place doesn’t have to be perfect to be a better choice for someone than another place. What an overprotective strawman. Other people are allowed to be happy they live someplace else.
If I could pick up my job and family and do a cut and paste into a country that’s got socialized healthcare, affordable education, and less gun violence, with no fallout from doing so, I’d do it tomorrow.
I concede I was overtly dramatic, and you, of course, have a point.
I did what you described for s bit, and it was amazing. I just think it’s silly when people write stuff like the above without knowing much about the U.S. other than what they read online.
I remember when I visited Germany for the very first time as a very young, very inexperienced individual decades ago. I was very afraid of what I was about to face. I read about neo-nazism, anti-immigration policies, everything being mad expensive, etc, etc. And wbat do you know - Germany turned out to be alright.
As an American who has lived abroad, I regret coming back to the States. Other nations have their problems, sure, but none are as close to becoming a fascist hellscape as we are.

Amen.
Where is this perfect place you live in?
Also, don’t form an impression of a whole country solely based on what you read online (exceptions apply.)

I still want to know where OP lives, though.

Fait enough.
But where do you live, though?

You don’t. Your secrecy and comment history leads me to believe that you come from (or fled) an oppressive regime, though. I get it.
Fair enough, and I was still within the depths of fresh out of bed grumpiness in my reply. Apologies for that! 🙂

Italy, Turkey and Hungary beg to differ.
Fair enough. No other first world nation is as close to facism as we are now. And not a lot of third world nations, either.
Yay, American Exceptionalism.
Did you mean fascism? Because racism is alive and well in the U.S.
Yes, thank you. Stupid autocorrect.
That’s a lot of rotten cherries to pick all at once

We’d love to hear what country you’re from so we can make a reference to whatever social issue happens there. When you get the time. No rush ✌️

You still haven’t said where you live. At least, give us a continent, dude.
I am indeed a U.S. citizen, born and raised in a 3rd world country and currently living in northen Europe.
Speak for yourself, I want a street address. /s
