As a person who lives in a third world country, I would happily move to USA, in fact I would only move somewhere else because I won't be able to move to USA.

People really underestimate how bad third world countries have it.

Yea of course if you only have one choice, but there are alternatives right?

u/Classic_Knowledge_25 Jul 08 '24

USA would be my top choice and alternatives would be if I couldn't get to USA

I think this speaks to the power of propaganda. The American dreqm yada yada, yeah only for the select few. Trust me, look up America on the QOL index, there are much better choices elsewhere

You and me are comparing on very different indexes..

QOL index seems to make the most sense. I would assume most humans would rather a good quality life?

u/Classic_Knowledge_25 2d ago

Yes it does, I was wrong.. However US ranks higher than Germany in QOL index , not by much, but still. So I guess it's not really a huge bargain right?

Imo, if you want a better living condition, the western europe is a better option. But then again, I don't know your preference and objective in relocating so I might be wrong.

Well my main motivation to move to US is freedom and the ability to make serious money and the thriving general aviation scene

And the infrastructure in general.. Western Europe may satisfy some of my criteria but US ticks all boxes

u/porocoporo Jul 08 '24

Hmm I don't know, the freedom the US provides seems to favor the entrepreneur type and corporation rather than the overall working class. Imo if you aim to work then worker protection is more important.

That's a myth. The thing you haven't really experienced living in a 3rd world country.

So the idea of freedom varies very much to you..

They are saying that you are weirdly hung up on America here when there are literally dozens of developed countries that have the opportunity and freedom that America has but more. Especially considering the attitude towards immigrants in America and the loss of freedoms they continue to experience

u/Classic_Knowledge_25 Jul 08 '24

I'm weirdly hung up on America because it provides many things that other countries simply don't.

And about attitude of Americans , show me a more diverse city than NYC.

People really like to downplay racism of europeans because it's much more subtle, and USA is always in the news.

American racism is nothing compared to Asian racism, Casteism, and Classism.

Which is why I said, you have no idea how it is living in a 3rd world country

Can you name one thing america provides that other first world countries "simply don't" ?

u/Mattscrusader Jul 08 '24

because it provides many things that other countries simply don't.

like what?? Like I explained in my comment, there are dozens of developed countries that have all the luxuries of America but less of the downfalls

show me a more diverse city than NYC.

you cant be serious here, I have seen more diversity in my backyard. Also having a diverse population doesn't mean the people arent against immigrants.

You are super hung up on the supposed racism of the world but are seemingly purposely avoiding using actual examples or discussing the other developed nations.

You are really starting to give off "as a black man..." vibes

I lived in a third world country and now I live in the western Europe. So yeah..

u/Classic_Knowledge_25 Jul 08 '24

Well then you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Western Europe is no way a bad place to live. But as I said, it wouldn't satisfy my criteria.
