Yes because the woke states turned out great … So great the people that made them that way I fleeing to Europe where they aren’t wanted.

Don’t bother. Americans are not welcome.

Cringe. So sick of woke Americans in Europe. Go back to the states you ruined and bear the responsibility for your shitty voting behavior. So privileged to destroy your own states and then just leave the poor people behind to deal with the consequences, while you fly off to Spain and mess up their realestate market and leech off their taxpayer funded healthcare …

Ugh. It’s always people from the worst Democrat states too. Probably bringing the same shitty politics with them that destroyed their states in the first place. Stay in the US. We don’t want you here.

Can confirm. My brother lives there and the OT is insane. Rent is unaffordable for most. He has a great paying job and they still can’t afford it on a single income. Now his wife has to go back to work just so they can afford childcare.

The US does seem to have a healthier mentality when it comes to celebrating success and work, compared to the UK and other European countries. Sometimes it’s even in the extremes with idolization of rich and succesful people.

You rarely see that over here in Europe. I feel like in a lot of countries they just expect you to do the bare minimum otherwise you’ll make them feel bad, and everyone wants to complain about being in a shit situation. It’s not always that pronounced, obviously.

Europe also just doesn’t feel like a place that really welcomes innovation or starting a business. Some countries more than others. Way too much beaurocracy, and higher taxes.

On the other hand if you do fail you’re not very likely to end up on the street. So there’s pro’s and con’s to everything.

Honestly I feel like you might have a better chance at affordable good quality life in South-America rather than Europe right now. Every country is struggling with lack of affordable housing and increased cost of living. It’s not a good time for Europe, including the UK.

I wouldn’t say that Portugal is anti-foreigner. They just aren’t at all used to it. It’s one of the most homogenous countries and they’ve been largely protected from mass immigration due to being a poor country, for better and worse. If you’re not ethnic European, you might get strange looks and be treated weird. Sometimes openly racist. Less so in the larger cities like Lisbon or Porto. Either way, it’s very different from a lot of the northern European countries, I think.

Sweden is completely different. They are (or were) welcoming to a fault. And that’s also caused the troubles they are currently facing. I havn’t been there as much but they are very friendly and overly welcoming to foreigners. It’s really no surprise that they appear to be having the worst time integrating foreigners. I still have some friends there and things have gone downhill very fast. Still plenty of nice rural areas though. And good wages.

For very different reasons, but indeed.

Portugal is still a very homogenous country, on the level of Ireland or Scotland, and they are poor so they havn’t been attractive to non-European immigrants and ‘refugees’.

If you’re ethnic European and have a remote job? Portugal. If not ethnic European and no remote job, then Sweden.

Wages in Portugal are dogshit and taxes are insanely high and they just cut their tax schemes that made it easier for expats. And they’re a very homogenous country so not very welcoming towards non-Europeans. Although to be fair, Americans also aren’t very popular there right now. A lot of people blame them for the massive increase in housing/rental costs.
