Comment on Judging by how many users on the internet telling Americans to "just move to another country lolz", people must think immigration laws are very lax or something... (it's not)

  This is correct. Ithought I could almost afford it, but I would need to save up an amount of money that is not really possible to save up in my situation and besides that I don’t know if I could psychologically manage actually getting everything lined up and working properly in a whole other country. I’ve looked into it in depth, and it is incredibly taxing and difficult.

  I don’t know if it’s something I could ever really manage, even in some of the countries that are “easier” to immigrate to.

    Yeah, I can relate. Thought of migration too, but first, need to save up a… considerable lot of money. Next, that’s a whole lot of things to do, including bureaucracy, and then I am at square less than one. There has to be some kind of paradise or once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on the other side for me to go through all that

      Yeah, I haven’t found any work opportunities overseas that would really make this possible.

      Then there are all the ties I’d have to break and people I’d leave behind. I’d feel guilty. That’d be hard.

  Francis Ngannou came to Europe by boat. 🤷 Westerners will need to tap into a different part of their Viking ancestry and move around a bit!
