    No where. I like America. What are my other options, realistically? Britain which just banned porn? Australia which banned Hentai? Canada, which is just America but cold and sky high housing costs?

      Fair enough

      What are my other options, realistically?

      Lots of them really

      Britain which just banned porn?

      No they didn’t, they just force age verification, which is also common in the USA. So you have the exact same “problem” there, but are missing the free healthcare, and other benefits from the UK in relation to the USA.

      Australia which banned Hentai?

      Yeah, Australia is weird, they also banned several games and similar stuff because they have a government that’s very focused on moral problems, much like the right wing in the USA, so I don’t think it will be long before the USA goes down this same rabbit hole of “won’t somebody please think of the children” and bans the same things.

      Canada, which is just America but cold and sky high housing costs?

      I don’t even know how to reply to this, the fact that you think that a country that consistently picks the complete opposite policies from the USA is the same means you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. It’s like if someone told you they don’t want to stop eating deep fried chicken because salad is just the same thing except cold and more expensive.

      Age-verification laws have spread throughout the states in the last two years. It ain’t going to get better.

        What’s stupid is I can get behind the idea, kids shouldn’t be watching porn, but the way they’re going about is just so stupid I can’t defend it

      Not surprising when you think Twitter is the least biased social media out there. Your stance on porn boils down to “think of the children 😩” and you think that’s the end goal. You seem quite deserving of the US, so have at it.

      Had to scroll too far to find Korea.

      Been here since 2016. It can be tough finding a job at a not shitty company, but once you do, it’s pretty sweet.

      But if you’re in your 20s and dating, be prepared for all the bullshit. It gets better in your 30s, though there are still customs you need to figure out.

      Housing is expensive in Seoul, and real estate agents may scam you, so find a Korean friend.

      Otherwise, it’s great. People are nice to foreigners. Public transit in Seoul and most of the country is amazing. Everything is super convenient. You can get away without learning the language, but at least try to get to a basic level. The foreigner community is pretty cool. Healthcare is excellent. I love it here.

    Someplace in the Anglosphere. I don’t think I have it in me to learn a new language just to get by in day-to-day life. New Zealand, maybe.

    Unfortunately, my immensely low income and numerous medical issues means that I’m not much of a candidate for emigration.

    Also, ideally, a region without a lot of insects.

    In any case, though, I’m probably going to die here, stubbornly. If these fascist fucks want me dead bad enough to see it through, I’m at least going to inconvenience them with getting rid of my body.

    Brit here. I’d be happy to accept Dem voters. Fart voters can stay at home and eat their own dogshit. Non-voters too; they knew exactly who FartV1 was and I am genuinely surprised Harris couldn’t get in simply on “I’m not Fart”. They really thought she’d be worse?

    And for those who get over here by lying about their vote; they incriminate themselves, and will be deported the moment we discover the truth.

      For the love of God, please stop spreading this mode of thinking. Elections are won by enthusiasm, not an intellectual weighing of the pros and cons of each. This is the model Democrats have used for decades that got us here. Being the lesser evil is not a solid campaign strategy. The greater evil will always get more attention, and therefore enthusiasm.

      I don’t think this is an exclusively American thing. Did Brits really think brexit was a good idea?

        evidence came out it was also rigged, and it has been for the last 2 times too. she wouldve won regardless, but the problem is DNc dint call out to be investigated for fear of being called riggers themselves. and waited when it was almost a year to finally say, we think its rigged?

          It wasn’t rigged. Even if it were rigged, it should never have been close enough to be rigged, but it wasn’t rigged. If the DNC waited to say it was rigged, they are still waiting because they haven’t said they think it’s rigged, but their not waiting, because it wasn’t rigged.

    Non-murican - strongly feel preference should be given to genuine refugees fleeing war, famine etc where they have absolutely no ability to influence their fate other than escape. The US is a failed democracy but the people there have barely begun to challenge their government compared to what we have seen elsewhere in the world. And there is still refuge available in blue states. US citizens need to stand up and fight and then if they fail and only then do they get to go in the queue with the genuine humanitarian refugees. I don’t like queue jumpers and sorry but you can’t compare impingement on your civil liberties to families in war torn parts of the world living in fear fear of having their limbs blown off every night.

    Ofcourse business around the world would like to cherry pick talent for in demand jobs and prefers not to invest in developing local people when they can import experienced talent for less so people with in demand skills will get in that way, not as refugees.

    • I don’t mean to naysay but this isn’t reduced civil rights people are fleeing. The US is building concentration camps and has recently approved expanding their budget for ICE (originally immigration enforcement, now a gestapo analogue) such that it is larger than most world militaries.

      This is naziism people are fleeing. This is death camps people are fleeing.

        And those people fleeing genuine threat should be welcomed as refugees. American voting citizens however, need to get their assess out on the streets and actually start challenging the police, ICE and government, instead of fleeing what they created.

            the cartels hold massive influence over the govt, straight up killing their legislators in significant numbers at times.

              There is serious violence, but CA has law enforcement in place with experience dealing with the Cartels. The power they weild in Mexican Government would be outweighed by the 30% increase in population and the doubling of the size of the Mexican Economy.

              Of course the violence that would be required to result in CA leaving the union might result in destruction of that economy. Hard to say.

      It would be a dream if CANZUK happened, then it was joined by California and Cascadia. We could call it CACACANZUK.

      That said, you would already be a powerful nation without joining anyone else. Don’t wait for us to get organised.

    As a member of the CAF, if the US Armed Forces are getting rid of LGBTQ folks, I would be proud to welcome them as my comrades in arms.
