I've thinking about how evil America is and how racist and homophobic the whole country is. But when I think about how to escape it I can't figure out anywhere that is genuinely any better. All the imperialist succ dem countries that get hyped have been getting exposed as being just as racist as America. Meanwhile I've heard horror stories about the potential destinations I've thought of in the global south. Has me feeling really :doomer:

    As long as the US is global hegemon you can't really escape it. Not to say you shouldn't get out though. Would you be comfortable learning a new language and adapting to a new culture/lifestyle?

    If you are, then most countries in SEA or East Asia are probably safer to be a minority in than the US. All of them are less evil than the US.

      Asia is literally the worst place in the world to be if you are black :deeper-sadness:

          While living in Asia I met black people who liked it there. The racism is probably just as bad but there isn’t the threat of violence behind it.

      I've met a like two Anglos and stuff who moved to SEA countries and constantly lol @ people back home because they're like "yeah I don't live in a shithole anymore, sorry. Have fun with your freedom" and they're not leftists or anything
