Orange Diaper is burning my country’s goodwill to the ground and I’m so happy to see the rest of the world telling us to fuck off, and more importantly fucking with Americas wallet.
Consequences for bad behavior is the only way it ever gets corrected.

It's like someone wished for more European defense spending but to the monkey's paw
The US wants better European militaries in case we can't help or share, not because we want to flat out refuse to help or share

They look like they’re being told to smile or a family member will be killed.

I guess they're just not actors

Yeah, but it'll be a random family member - not necessarily a woman or LGBTQ+.

It's AI generated, isn't it?

Kinda small on my phone but I don't think so. Most ai stuff looks more air brushed and the light is usually weird. This has skin imperfections and clothes wrinkles that look very real.

No no the guy is making a face like "I came here to fart don't follow me" and she's all "I came here to smell it"

I'm from Finland. It's late winter now. It's not Smiling Season yet.

Come to Germany! We do everything like the US, but with a 4 year delay and 10% less intense! Relive your memories of when your homeland went down the drain!
-
I feel like the 4 year delay is gonna hit it's threshold and start surpassing the US. Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like Germany has the populous to shift very quickly. Now that the US is full Fascism I feel like Germany just got the acceleration card equipped. Which will also influence the rest of the west and Americans to hit the "kill all Muslims" button as hard as they can.
Starting with "Hamas/Palestine/Antisemitism" as the justification.
-
I would say that the politically widespread "unwavering support" for a nation very overtly because of their dominant ethnicity, including whilst they're commiting a Genocide along ethnic lines themselves (the kind of thing one would naivelly expect Germans to be especially disgusted at), proved beyond any doubt that Racism in Germany is alive & well all across the political spectrum, from the supposed "left" of the Greens all the way to the far-right.
(AfD really is just the same mindset with the addition of "If it's good to unwaveringly support them no matter what they do, then it's also good for us")
Sadly whilst the symbols were forbidden, the way of thinking about other human beings (of seeing people as members of ethnicities and judging and treating them differently depending on ethnicity) that was the foundation for Nazism never actually died in Germany, they just changed who the ubermenschen and untermenschen are and don't actually say those words out loud.

Living somewhere else is quite tempting in a grass is greener way, but it feels like moving out of my house because of pests. What I'd really rather do is eradicate the pests and get my home back. Even if I move, how long until I have to suffer new pests? Meanwhile the more sane of the two completely out of touch parties that comprise my government are like my housemate, and they keep leaving food wrappers and shit all over the place and they refuse to call an exterminator because it would be "cruel". But these no-kill traps ain't doing shit. Figuratively speaking, of course.
-
Sometimes you gotta move out and leave your roommate alone in the mess, for them to hopefully realize that they are the problem
-
I couldn't have said it better myself, I will definitely steal that analogy. Moving to another country is such an extreme step, because it means giving up everything I have here and adjusting to new people, new culture, new language, new everything. I'd rather my home stay pest-free.
-
Of course we'd rather it stays pest free. For if you have black mold, would you stay there and have health consequences for rest of your life, your children and all. Or would you just think I'll abandon this, it's gonna cost a lot to give up the furniture and everything that you have build up over the years but it's not important than your life. Specifically as a non-white person where even your residence status isn't protecting you anymore.
And this current thing isn't the problem it's a symptom of a problem so deep, I don't really see us getting back to normal anytime soon. We might mitigate it, or maybe it'll get so bad people will realize the actual problems and work towards solving it. I just don't have energy to be that optimistic. I really wish people would be more empathetic, think about the community and be altruistic enough to address the bigger problem. But I don't see that happening.

Their schools were already orders of magnitude cheaper. Get ready for extreme brain drain!
-
I'm hoping to get into a pretty well regarded game dev school in Sweden that is $25k USD for the entire degree. Comparing it with anything similar in the US is mind boggling. Schools here are impossibly expensive
-
Future games, innit? The one the ceo of the company that made It Takes Two finished?
It's mind boggling to me that this school exists. I mean they have the achievements of the alumni to schow, so good for them.
But still it's a paid school for game dev, famous for crunch, and worse salary than "normal" dev. So not only will you work more, and earn less, you also have to pay for your studies, since standard CS is free.

Is this why Elon is pushing for anti-immigration parties in the EU? He doesn't want people to leave?
-
Of course he doesn't want people to leave, how can he be king if all his serfs leave?

Meanwhile the Trump administration has asked Australian academics to justify that their US-funded research lines up with Conservative values
-
My daughter is about 2 years from graduating high school, and even before Trump came into office I was urging her to consider non-US colleges. Mostly because she wants to go into medicine and our healthcare system has been broken for much longer than I can remember. But also the rise of Fox News (and others) getting away with stating provable lies as fact, Joe Rogan, et al. showed that there has been an inflection point and the country is being led around by the dumbest of us.
She's fluent in Spanish, though jumping straight into a medical program would introduce a lot of new specialized words, and might be to much. We're starting to look into options though.
-
College introduces a lot of new words in general. It is what it's for, plus, she will be in pre-med. Go for the Spanish route. She will flourish. :) Spain is so lovely. I hope I can land something there next.
-
-
This is amazing for us in Europe, bring all the educated ones and leave the Trumpers there
Fully onboard with this, welcome to Spain amigo.
-
well to some of us americans, who can’t leave, this is horrible… but logical….
the last thing i want is all the reasonable people to leave, and be stuck with these fuxks….i kinda wonder now, how much did people fleeing nazi germany contributed to them solidifying power?
-
I mean I imagine most people leaving would still keep American citizenship and therefore still be able to vote. Unless they decide to end their citizenship which some might but I imagine most people would still want to keep that option open.
-
The world is looking to China too, their sciences are blossoming. Exciting times ahead while Americans decide who they are and want to be and eventually go through their own Enlightenment. Things are bad now, but tyrants always fall eventually. I think we are entering a sort of golden age for science.

-
It low-key reads like one of those "lonely singles in your area" ads.
-
Yeah, I good with the message, but that's one of the most uncomfortable looking photos I've seen. Where are they supposed to be looking?
-
-
And as far as I’ve seen the numbers it’s working too. Anywhere in Europe that is academic or sciency is seeing record numbers of Americans applying. The brain drain will be real.
-
It's already happened in Florida and Idaho at least, Idaho lost a huge amount of medical professionals thanks to RvW and state passed open ended and vague laws. Florida lost just about all their teachers DeSantis is stuffing schools with sycophants with little to no education and no teaching credentials. We're already losing.
-
All numbers I’ve seen for record applications were for high level research and university level teaching. Maybe the medical doctors mainly moved states? At least I haven’t seen them making headlines about moving to Europe.
-

It has already been happening for several years now, it's just accelerated since Trump. Even before his first term there was a "negative brain drain" of educated workers no longer coming into the US because the benefits (paid time off, health care, etc) are so much worse compared to other countries, even when considering the higher pay. America used to rely on a steady stream of incoming highly educated workers.
But now there is a huge amount of well established academics leaving for Canada, EU, or anywhere else that will pay them. I work in a physics department at a large R1 university in a very liberal state, and we are losing 4 (that I know of) high regarded professors just this year alone moving to other countries.
The brain drain is here, and won't be reversing course even if Trump suddenly disappears. We would have to completely change how we reward work and our failing healthcare system for anything to change.

Say less, I'm omw

Man I just love being undesirable in every country due to my beliefs, lifestyle, or lack of a degree.
-
Explain the "beliefs" so I can judge you.
-
All of these things can change
-
Very few people can operate a transporter, though.
-
You make a good point, I'll have to see if there are any practical applications in Europe or Canada.

-
Actual free market at work, as opposed to the shit we have in the U.S.
-
Wouldn't that be wonderful, so see the greatest brain-drain in human history. Couldn't happen to nicer people.
-
This feels sad on the surface, as an American who went to college 25 years ago and is used to seeing people from around the world move here to learn, teach, start businesses, etc.
But giving it any real thought, damn it, it is much better for humanity this way. Climate change isn’t going to pause while the world watches us collapse.

I wouldn't mind moving to canada since I'm really close to the border anyway. it would be like nothing happened almost
-
We have quite a shortage of doctors and other medical professionals in Slovenija. Come on over, guys!
ETA: and professors to teach at the medical university.
-
Most countries welcome medical professionals with open arms. They are always shortlisted. ;)
PS: I love Slovenija, it is so pretty. I reccomend it too!
-
How much is med school there and are older people welcomed into the schools? I had to drop my premed program here in the US because I either need to be a med student for rural America ... which can get fucked imo or pay a million to stay in "progressive" cities.

-
This thread gives me hope. Last Trump presidency Marcon told scientists to move to France. I was like... I hear you. Added 56 credit hours of math and science to my writing degree. Now I'm ready to do bioinformatics or something health data related not in the US.
-
Lmao I'm not moving to Europe
-
Yes move to Europe with stagnant economies and 60% tax rates. There are evident reasons why the EU isnt competitive, it's not a secret.
-
And long ass vacations. I’m in.
