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.

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! 🙂
What started out as typical online argumentiveness quickly turned into a pretty wholesome exchange! God I love the people on Lemmy.
