You are all welcome to Europe for that. Come on over.
You don’t want us…..
I dunno, if they create a braindrain, I’m okay with that.
They don’t need to leave the US to create a brain drain. It’s happening naturally haha
Europe's going through a pretty big racist anti-immigrant phase, so probably not the best of ideas.
Who's downvoting this??? It's literally true. Listen to any debate of european legislatures on immigration and they will just say the things the American right has dogwhistles for.
Very true. But we are still fighting and willing to get out in the streets.
Not worse than America yet though.
That's why Europeans are so famously tolerant of the Romani, right?
🤷♂️ "Europeans".
I'm tolerant of Romani. Everyone I know is as well. My extended family even employs this lady to do some cleaning chores so she can support her family back in Romania.
There's always gonna be racist jerks. Shall we talk about the racism against black and Spanish people in America right now?
It's better in Europe. I didn't say it's perfect.
the US is literally throwing brown ppl into cages without due process. there's no comparison. anyone trying to equate the two has lost the plot.
Agreed.
For now anyway. Europe is not immune to fascism.
Definitely not, but we still have much more favorable worker laws.
definitely. we have to fight, and HARD, to not fall into what America is becoming.
Hear hear 📣
It doesn’t seem like Europe is very open to American immigrants these days….
Weeell, I guess there's the disclaimer:
We're/I'm open to Americans who are progressive and have common sense and respect people's equal worth and value. Let's make the world a better place together.
I’m fully on board, but emigrating to any European nation is hard. Gotta have a very in-demand skill, be relatively young, and already be sponsored by a European employer; or, alternatively, have “fuck you” money to pay your way in.
I feel you.
No thanks, I don't want to see this side of the ocean get ruined too
Actually we're managing that on our own soon, I think. 🫣
those aren't the ppl that want to come here.
Right, I'll just conjure up a work visa for my bullshit job, sell my house and belongings, and leave my family and friends behind. Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
🤷♂️ Just saying you're welcome to come afaic. 🙂
