It’s weird when people who are white, cis, straight, able bodied and relatively well off talk about moving out of America. Like your rights are relatively unchanged. The problem is people worse off than you...That doesn’t disappear if you move to Canada.
Like if you feel ok living in Canada or Europe or wherever without a care for people in america whose rights ARE being threatened, then you should be fine living here and ignoring the issue. Is your problem SEEING this stuff happen??
This is not to say that there aren’t many many people whose lives would be improved abroad for a whole host of reasons (health care, basic rights, less white supremacy or white supremacy with less militarization). But so many people talking about leaving are not even effected!
Not to mention of course that there isn’t a country who is doing everything perfectly. Like you’re gonna find racism and wealth inequality all over.
Anyway, I think there are many valid reasons to want to leave and trust me I’m not a fan of America as a concept but a whole lot of people want to leave to a whiter country where they don’t have to be confronted with anything bad happening to people around them.

no one is talking about how 60 monkeys can now make hands free phone calls
(Sorry guys if this ruins the little dumbass Twitter joke but the screenshot above is fake. I thought that had already come to light on Twitter. Sorry for ruining your lives)
Honestly 3000 monkeys in a test is an insane number I’m not sure why that would be real but ok. Anyway the conditions of the 23 monkeys it was tested on were terrible cnn.com/2022/02/17/bus…
can't wait to go to a party or bar again soon to corner someone and bring up how the Jason Wade version of You Belong to Me that's on the Shrek soundtrack isn't on Spotify
one time at work everyone made a list of their top five albums of all time and I put the Shrek soundtrack on mine and everyone got mad but I was right
Shrek 2 soundtrack is also full of bangers sorry to use the term "bangers"
one thing that concerns me so much is that either humans as a whole or much more likely today’s American society is showing itself to be absolutely incapable of sacrifice.
The idea of sacrifice is going to be like The Theme of the next 100 years imo. Who sacrifices? For whom? What are we willing to sacrifice? Etc
And hypocritically many people who are rock hard for “the ultimate sacrifice” military-esque talk are seemingly very unwilling to actually give up anything for the greater good at all.
