i want to say australia, the uk and japan are the top three, tnetatively in that order, but you could probably fit klanada in there instead.

maybe im wrong but i seem to recall that the great satan has less support in occupied korea than the other three.
My reason for putting them is that even though the people like :amerikkka: less, they also get the least benefit out of being a part of the empire. :ukkk: :kkkanada: :aus-delenda-est: all (at least until recently) get the full benefits of living in the imperial core, and are much better places to live than the US itself. They get healthcare, reasonable work conditions and time off, etc.
Occupied Korea on the other hand don’t even get that, they get overworked to the point of having an insanely high suicide rate. They looked at all of :amerikkka:’s worst problems and said “let’s turn that to 11.” :japan-cool: is in a similar situation, but it seems less hellish than SK
Australia definitely wins though, no other country is so willing to light their own economy on fire and completely work against their own interest just to appease the Yankees. Imagine starting a trade war with your largest trade partner who’s also the nearest superpower just because America asked you to lmfao
1000% agree. Japan and Fake Korea are the only two "developed" countries I would never move to bc life there is actually worse than in Amerikkka
Death to America
Japan definitely has its problems but a ridiculous level of safety from violent crime and extremely high quality affordable healthcare probably puts it above America still.
In terms of work hours, OECD stats puts Japan at well below the US, below the OECD average, and even below countries that are generally thought to be "relaxed" like Spain, Portugal, and Italy.
The main issue with working in Japan is that there are some companies, locally called "black companies", which egregiously violate overtime laws as a matter of policy.
True, from a quality of life POV it would definitely be an improvement. But I feel like the feeling of doom and futurelessness that's so pervasive in the US is probably also a problem in Japan. To be clear, I'm basing this purely on vibes, not any data. But I feel like the widespread sense that nothing will ever improve is probably more of a problem there than, say, Portugal. Maybe I'm just an ignorant Yankkkee but based on my brief travels in Japan it feels accurate.
Personally, if I'm going to move away from the US, I wouldn't want to move to a country with such similarly bummer vibes
Death to America
Yeah, vibes are pretty hard to quantify, especially across vastly different cultures. In my personal experience, the doom and gloom is much less prevalent (and frustrating) than the grill pilled political apathy.
Still, no one should tell you how to feel about moving to another country, so best of luck escaping from that American hellscape.
Do you have links for the Japanese work hours stuff, specifically the average being lower than the countries you listed? Not challenging you, just for my own curiosity and learning. It's such a well worn stereotype about Japan that I'd like to look into it more.
Shit I had the link copied and everything but forgot to post it.
Here you go comrade. https://data.oecd.org/emp/hours-worked.htm
Thank you kindly my friend!
That probably breaks down when you look at demographics. Most women can only get part time jobs because they're supposed to become mothers and older people have pretty steady work, but a lot of college kids end up getting sucked directly into black companies and being burned out, so the overall hours look fine but when you look at young people they either get bad work with okay hours or abysmal work with terrible hours.
Yeah that is a factor. That said, it's also probably relevant to consider that salaries and cost of living are such that a large portion of the population can work part time and still have the family budget balance.
The other relevant thing to consider is that the stat might also be affected by a higher proportion of elderly people and students doing part time work. However, it's not really clear how much any of these factors skews the data and I wish I had access to a proper study that controlled for these things.
I saw some papers, not sure if I can share them so feel free not to believe me. Elderly people aren't doing part time work in Japan by and large. Mosf women are housewives from older generations, and men thay haven't retired or died are still working full time. A family budget only works out if two young adults without kids or parent to care for both work part time, someone needs to work full time for it to work. Japan is still set up around one housewife and one breadwinner. By the time a lot of men are stable enough to look for wives and have stopped being picky, they and the woman feel to old to have kids, driving up the population crisis.
Yeah that seems about right. I guess my point was that the OECD stats are derived by dividing up all hours worked by number of workers. That means that it could be skewed by there being more part time workers by percentage of population than other countries. If that's not the case, then barring something like failure in data gathering methodology, Japanese working times aren't quite the unmitigated hellscape most people think they are.
I feel lack Canada's lack of a cohesive national identity (beyond "hockey" and "we're not the US") makes us more susceptible to reactionary expat agendas. Stepan Bandera's grandson is a producer at one of our biggest news media orgs. I always see Epoch Times for sale at the grocery store. And the whole "Victims of Communism Memorial" is a fascist money-laundering scheme.
We're fresh meat for a fascist institution like NATO.
