Given that the left has seemly taken over literally every aspect of entertainment, education, and work in Western countries like the US and Britain, are there any countries left that are not pozzed? From my observations on the internet, it seems that the only countries that are not pozzed are either 3rd world countries or countries with a history of communism rule like Poland.
I am genuinely considering options on where to emigrate to as it really does seem like I have to move to some rural place in the middle of nowhere if I want to raise a normal kid and enjoy my hobbies here in the US.
We've lived abroad and visited many locations. There are places where I prefer to live besides the US, but in these times unbelievably, the US may be the one of the best locations.
There are beautiful places and happy places and all kinds of nice places out there, but just about none of them have any guaranteed civil liberties. Look at the rest of the 5 Eyes countries, they're worse off than we are.
These are very strange times and I feel, bad times for international immigration. We've seen how far some of these countries will go to handcuff their populations. I believe I read that Duterte has locked up the Philippines through 2021.
We will be moving to more inland America for the time being.
But if you are intent on emigrating, I know a lot about it and believe me if you are not 'seeking asylum' as a 'refugee,' legal international permanent relocation is the most formidable process you will ever face.
However a good place to start is to go to the embassy website of the country under consideration, and make yourself very very familiar with the visa options and requirements. that should keep you busy for a while.
Happy to help with any questions.
Wow, so even with all the leftist crap that is happening here in the US, it is still better here than in other countries (which is a testament to why people still want to immigrate here). Is there any country that comes close to the US in terms of civil liberties?
A big reason why I am considering emigration because I don't have anything tying me down to the US (besides family) and I want to explore the world before I get too old. But given the wuflu situation, that dream will definitely get postponed.
Did you have money saved up before you lived abroad or does your job let you work remotely?
Government job involved in our expat experiences.
But your concern questioning moving abroad from the US, obviously had no research involved in what it actually takes to do that, how you might expect to accomplish that, and what kinds of requirements are involved.
In other words; Amy Schumer screaming she is leaving America right now! displays no idea how how international immigration actually works. And you will probably not ever be doing that no matter how "pozzed" your location is.
The difficulty of emigrating for regular people who just wish to escape the current grind, and who are not making refugee claims, is next to impossible.
Not trying to be condescending; but do people not realize all of the various international treaties, diplomacies, agreements, sanctions, and financial operations involved?
You can't go just wherever you want in this world because it suits you.
Well, that is why I made a post here: to see what other people thought about this and apparently to show how fucking clueless I am on this matter lol.
This idea of emigration came to me only recently when I found a job posting that was offering a Japanese work visa for a field that I want to get into.
I'll come back to you when I've done my research on emigration.
Re-reading this conversation I'm sorry if I sounded berating, I don't mean to be.
Having clarified with the addition of a possible Japanese work visa changes the picture entirely.
Employers abroad who offer this kind of visa assistance are at the top of the heap of opportunities in this world, it's the expat dream. Which also makes it just a teeny bit suspect of being a dodgy international scam, of which there are many.
Still, I would be concerned even if this were actually a legit above-board opportunity, that you could be detained in whatever country for years? if they decide to shut.it.down. This is a very real threat going forward and should be factored in.

Japan is pretty top notch in the world of expatting. It's like being posted to Vienna or Singapore or Geneva. First rate stuff. Which again makes me question the verity of this seeming golden opportunity.
