Wait you're italian? I almost always saw you post about Poland, so I figured you originated there. My wife has some family that has spent the last 30 years in Piedmonte, and I kinda go by some of their statements, even if they aren't very politically involved people. So my source is also a northener, who explained some of things that he passively absorbed through either media or just local street knowledge.
oh okay. Didn't mean to pry into your private affairs. I'm sure that the experience of being an economic migrant is downright terrible, and being Polish in Northern europe or Germany also sounds difficult if the Germans I know are any indication.
It's not that bad. Sure, there's some bullshit, but Eastern Europeans have been replaced by Arabs as immigrant bogeymen.
Getting used to a new bureaucracy, mentality, language, even finding somewhere to live is a struggle and it's a pretty steep "learning curve" unfortunately. If you're not from the EU then they just might kick you out, not renew your papers etc., but that's hardly unique to Germany.
Thats funny, the place where I grew up in Southern Denmark doesn't have a lot of immigrants, but since it's close to the border with Germany, it does get a lot of polish people looking for whatever work they can find, and typically also living 10 people in two bedroom appartments. The fun part is the locals will absolutely shit themselves every time they see a truck with a polish licenseplate (or romanian, but there aren't as many people from there in Denmark compared to Poland). This was made way funnier from 2016-2017 and onwards, when Poland suddenly became the right wings "based defender of Europe from the Syrian refugees who were coming to lower your house price and make your grandkids stop talking to you".

I'm Polish... I grew up as an immigrant in Italy... then we moved to Germany.
I know many languages because of it, but the experience of economic migration lowkey sucks.

Yeah, true. There are many people who don't live here but commute from across the border. Those firms are usually very exploitative.
