When is it time to GTFO? - Page 6 - Politics and Economics

When people talk about leaving their home by necessity the first consideration is always access. That’s pretty apparent in the conversation itt. Personal connection or familiarity is next, obviously.

I am one who mentioned Canada because I’m Canadian. I have also considered Thailand because my american brother is an expat there. Also Vietnam because my wife has family there. Also Mexico because I have inlaws there. I’m pretty fortunate to have options.

If I didn’t have a family I’d have pulled a suzzer by now.

I just found it amusing (okay, I admit that I'm easily amused

edit: Am I the only one around here with a sense of humor?

The reason his race was questioned is because he basically said things are great for him as a 60 year old, presumably white male, so everyone else is being silly.

Get it, or do you need the punchline spelled out on that joke?

The thing is jcorb said that avoiding the law was "Easy game." With the US having 4.4% of the world's population and 22% of the world's known prison population that post was pretty flippant, and a 60 year old man who believes the US is the land of milk and honey is almost certainly white.

there's an important difference between {celebrating, or at least tolerating, diversity} and {requiring it} that I think might be missing in this point

And your takeaway is that Americans want to flee to Canada not because it's safe, not because it's pretty damn close, not because it's the world's longest undefended border and you could walk across with a backpack if you had to, no, your takeaway is that it all comes down to escaping brown people. And then you say it's liberals who reduce everything to race. Look in a mirror.

Which nations are more ethnically diverse than the US?

None are, as far as I know. But often the nations that they want to flee to are among the least ethnically diverse. I'm only introducing the "diversity" angle because that seems to be the battle cry of many on the left.

So you're chiding them for not leaving for a more diverse country when it's literally impossible for them to do so. Thanks for playing, we have some lovely consolation prizes.

I get that Canada is good because it's close. But Mexico is a lot closer to the U.S. than the European Union or New Zealand, but I don't remember a lot of them saying they want to live in Mexico.

And it is clearly not a matter of "escaping brown people", it's a matter of not wanting to live in a third-world country because of a lower standard of living and personal safety. It has nothing to do with race at all, and I never said that it did. I clearly stated in an earlier post that I do not think that these people are racists.

You should quit posting, lagtight.

1m American in Mexico...... "but no they run to lilywhite Europe."

The facts don't really agree with your dumb narrative.

I was specifically addressing ethnic and racial diversity, and those lists on wikipedia bring in other criteria as well. In fact, the first list had literally nothing to do with ethnic and racial diversity, it had to do with language.

You mean like John McAfee who lived a few countries down in Belize? A man of wealth who chose a not lily white country.

This isn't really that hard. Canada and Western Europe have a lot of white collar type professional jobs that the typical liberal in a position to afford relocating would be seeking.

I don't think Africa and South America have a lot of these kinds of jobs.

When people retire to other countries you see a much broader range of destinations.

You got your tense wrong bro.

"Ever notice that the liberals who want to flee the U.S. virtually always end up in lilly-white places like Canada and Western Europe, and almost never in Africa or South America?

Most of the places where liberals seek refuge are almost invariably much less ethnically and racially diverse than the U.S."

You need to cite people who ended up somewhere. So far the only one out of the country is Suzzer and he's in Mexico.

Don't worry. someday (after you have been corrected innumerable times) you will (kinda) understand.
