I want to immigrate to someplace that's not a shit hole teetering on the brink. The culture is so fucking violent and geared towards crushing the human spirit, it really is a blight. Is there any place in the world that's halfway decent and isn't infected with burger brain disease? Especially if it's easy for an angloid simpleton such as myself to assimilate.

Edit: also trans friendly! Or at least not a danger zone like half the US.

    Burger brain disease is just a more advanced stage of capitalism plus settler colonialism, which is practically everywhere to one degree or another (minus settler colonialism in some places). Not to mention the Empire's influence is everywhere.

    If a big concern for you is anti-trans violence, anywhere in East Asia would be much better than the US simply because there's much less violence in general. I like both mainland China and Taiwan. Taiwan is pretty lgbt friendly but is also pretty anti-communist. I know Chinese has a reputation for being difficult to learn, but I think that difficulty is over stated too

    Tbh, I might try moving to a deep blue part of the US. Way easier to culturally assimilate, don't need to learn a new language

      I've thought of this as well, I love Seattle, never been to NYC though. But Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal also sound nice because it's similar flavor without it being in burger land proper.

        as someone who studied poli sci, your best bet in Canada is Montreal, it is the least burgery place. Plus you get to live in gorgeous Laurentia.
