    Default i want to leave America

    Some time in my life, preferably earlier than later, I want to leave America and live in another country. I absolutely hate it here. What are some great countries to live in, in terms of quality of life, job opportunity etc.

    I kind of hate this country but at the same time couldn't imagine living somewhere else.

    TBH what ever problems you have with the US you'll probably encounter in about anywhere else you'll go too. So be careful when you make that jump.

    What specific qualities are you looking for in a place to live? Personally I've decided that while I hate the governance of America, it has some awesome stuff to do outdoors in many parts, and also I'm too lazy to learn another language.

    ^there are plenty of other places where you could skate by with just English and maybe a rudimentary knowledge of whatever else is spoken, if that

    Don't take this the wrong way, but Americans complaining about how bad the US is can be pretty grating. Some Americans think the country is special because it's especially great, others because it's especially bad; maybe it actually isn't all that special? What is that, like some kind of extension of American exceptionalism? Millions of people are trying to get into the US while you're complaining about how shit it is. I don't want to make this a political point (because I think that would be stupid), it's just a bit annoying sometimes is all. But don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to live in that hell hole and cultural wasteland, but I wouldn't want to live in Milton Keynes either for similar reasons.

    True but would most of those places have better nature and more reptiles and amphibians than America? I mean arguably Australia, but I'd be so far away from everyone I know then.

    I've felt like this before, but I think it makes more sense if you already have a place in mind that you'd prefer over the US. I used to flirt with the idea of moving to Berlin since I speak basic German (even though pretty much everyone there speaks English) and I loved it when I was there. I also thought about Norway and Argentina because they provide free university for foreigners.

    The process of immigrating is usually pretty hard though and you normally have to have a legit reason too, like a job offer. You can't just be like "oh, I got bored of America". I also have to agree with whatever singularity that people who go on about how shitty the US is, as if other countries are some kind of paradise on earth, are generally pretty annoying.

    On another note, I kind of don't want to leave because I'd feel like I'd be "abandoning the struggle", so to speak. I know a few people who say it'd be nice to move somewhere less reactionary, but I think if radicals just run away then it will always be reactionary here, in fact it might get worse.

    you can have my place in Germany, I applied for a Greencard 2015 anyway.

    In case it doesn't work out, would some of you guys marry me? I'm not willing to cook or wash for your lazy ass or any other unfeminist stuff, but I'm quite pretty, that's all that matters, huh.
