This really had me like:

(In all seriousness, I just went there to upload some images to host privately, as that's the only reason why I keep it around, but my eyes wandered.)

Wow it must be nice to have the luxury to just flee the country, boy I wish I could.

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 41 points 5 months ago

At this point where's even the place to flee?

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 44 points 5 months ago

I'd love to live in Vietnam, beautiful country and there's an expat community, granted it's mostly boomer though so it'd probably be hell.

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 30 points 5 months ago

Extremely beautiful area. Just not sure I could handle the humidity.

and scared of what the area will look like when seas rise

[-] Chronicon@hexbear.net 15 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

maybe aim for hanoi yeah... I had no idea HCMC was sinking...

lets just say I still would have more faith in vietnam handling sea level rise than say, florida, and I don't think northern vietnam is at risk of wet bulb temps any time too soon, but it would still be hot and humid for a westerner

I've been looking into what it would take to move to China. There's probably better places to live in 2024 but at their current rate by 2050 it'll be a fantastic place to live.

By 2050 we could be 20 years into socialist "Tired of winning comrades?" (Whatever ends up being the Chinese Pepe) memes.

Fat chance with Switzerland.

  • It's one of the most expensive countries on the planet to live in. For example, rents in the cities are comparable to Washington D.C. and Vancouver, and other living expenses aren't cheap either.
  • The right-wing SVP (racist/isolationist much like Trump) has been the majority party for decades. Hostility against foreign people is high, and immigration is the main scapegoat.
  • Competition on the housing market is extremely high and there are usually dozens of people registering for any given apartment viewing. You'll also be competing with the rest of Europe, especially Germany, France and Italy.

Don't even bother if you haven't got a really well-paying job lined up.

I think my mom's citizenship can get me into Russia? 🤔

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 36 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

99.9% of the people who post this rhetoric have zero serious intentions of moving to a different country (this goes for conservatives who say the same thing). It’s just another form of “the sky is falling!”

[-] save_vs_death@hexbear.net 61 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

What parallel reality do libs live in where you can emigrate at the drop of a hat. It's a long, arduous, dog-shit process, and that's if you're a cishet white yuppie! God help you if you're not.

[-] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The reality is that it's the same people posting the same shit every 4 years.

Judging by the ancient meme, this guy was probably posting about wanting to leave the country if Romney became president.

It's hilarious how Americans think they can simply move to any other country at the drop of a hat. It's easy for us to VISIT most other nations, but permanently moving is a time consuming process in which you have to prove to have some sort of value to their economy. The only shortcuts are marriage or dual citizenship from birth. Or shitloads of cash to bribe your way in. The majority of people who vowed to move to Canada when Trump took office would be rejected, and that's one of the easier nations to emigrate to.

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago

If an American wants to move to where I live they need to have a job here in advance that either pays USD 70.000 a year or that is on a list of jobs with a labour shortage. Applying alone will cost a USD 1000 fee and they will also need to pay a deposit for mandatory language lessons that they will lose of they don't pass the exam. On top of that comes the significant expenses that comes with moving to another country.

Just moving somewhere else is only an option for those Americans who would be unaffected or benefit from a more authoritarian regime.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 30 points 5 months ago

Makes me think of the astroturfing kicked off on Imgur at the start of the Russia-Azov War.

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 20 points 5 months ago

Happens every election season

The place is a shitpile these days

[-] MayoPete@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago

Most of the normie internet is sadly

[-] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 30 points 5 months ago

Wow, they are still using memes and reaction images from 2010? It's like a time capsule

Is 9gag still around?

[-] elpaso@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago

My Norwegian friends send me 9gag memes all the time.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

It's always had a very Scandinavian nerd vibe, so that checks out

"I'm not gonna do anything at home to instill meaningful changes, I'll just simply keep voting and if home becomes too uncomfortable for me, I'll flex my social mobility and leave!"

[-] PaX@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago

It's like an alternate reality, even more out-of-touch Reddit

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago

Nobody else in the world wants you because wherever you go you dumbass liberals will be a net increase to the right everywhere in the world.

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago

Every country be like "I'm low on citizens who leave at the first sign of inconvenience, of course I'll let OP in".

[-] Owl@hexbear.net 24 points 5 months ago

wow I haven't seen that damn bear in so long

[-] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago

20 bucks this person supports "legal" immigration but not "illegal" immigration and opposes seasonal migrations.

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

motherfcuker if I could leave I would already be gone

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Many of them can't either, but the ones that could still wont...

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

2016 nostalgia is the most cringe form of nostalgia

I remember a community college professor I had who used to joke about this in 2016.

[-] cmhickman358@hexbear.net 15 points 5 months ago

But I thought the libs were going to #ruthkanda #resist, you mean to say the were lying about taking any action outside of a ballot box?

[-] Sasuke@hexbear.net 13 points 5 months ago

the year is 2016, forever and ever and ever

[-] Beetle_O_Rourke@hexbear.net 13 points 5 months ago

Stay in your country and fix it.

[-] Tomorrow_Farewell@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

If Trump get back into office, I think I may permanently leave this country

Why haven't you?

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

Imgur is a hilarious sea of liberalism

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 5 months ago

Imgur is the place where all the people too liberal and braindead for reddit went.
