As soon as I get that visa, I'm running to the EU. I don't feel like dealing with more freedom that only the EU can get, I don't feel like being jealous at them anymore, I might as well join them.

    not with the current "shift to the right" we're doing. these parties will do and say anything to get into power and foreigners out of their country.

    but me and many other average citizens would very much like to welcome you with open arms.

    Yeah, some politicians are straight up weird.

    In their defense, though, some immigrants are straight up weird (keyword: SOME).

    Honestly, I'm the kind of future immigrant who hates his country with an absolute passion and refuses to be patriotic or nationalistic. I literally cannot integrate into my own society. Also, criminalization of LGBT rights. I just gotta mention that.

    The EU really does feel like a great place to be in.

    on the 'area to exist in' list, europe definetely ranks very high.

    the high cost of living is definetely a thing to consider, but wages are pretty fair if you learn a specific profession and you get pretty good healthcare by default.

    plus almost everyone under 60ish years of age speaks english to a degree, so you can bridge the gap of learning the local language pretty well.

    oh yeah and we take human rights at least more seriously than the US of course.

    Come to the dark side! We have GDPR and we'll get browser choice in iOS soon (because as much as I hate having my software freedom being taken away, iOS is the superior experience if you don't have time to tweak everything. This is coming from someone who's had a custom ROM on every single one of their Android phones).

    You also can't be fired without cause in I believe most EU countries, definitely not in mine (Estonia).

    I have literally never used GDPR in my life because whenever my phone claims to use it (last time that happened was with my old iPhone 4), it basically means that there's no internet at all. I'm pretty sure that's just a weird thing with my country. We don't even have 5G yet.

    Also, wait, you can actually get fired without cause outside of the EU? Why would anyone have the balls to do that??
