Germany. While I do feel like my country is overall still safe and a good place to live, it feels to me like we're on the brink. The US may well drag us down with them and even if they don't, our own politicians might just do that on their own. So yeah, quite anxious and not overly optimistic right now. The next few years will be critical and it could go either way really.
Left Germany for Switzerland and while I never really felt unsafe in Germany, it's so much more relaxed here. And I start to really appreciate direct democracy.
I can imagine. Switzerland is in many ways in quite a unique, privileged position in Europe. I've gotten job offers in Switzerland but personally, I don't really mesh with its culture. If I ever move away, I think it'll either be somewhere like The Netherlands, or even a lot further away, like New Zealand or Japan.
Straya representing. Our brothers and sisters across the ditch in New Zealand have a beautiful country with rich culture and great people. They just keep claiming our pavlova recipe was theirs. mic drop
Also you're always welcome here, it's got large part thats dry and barren in the middle but the tropics and coasts are spectacular like one of the wonders of the world the great barrier reef.
Iโve never heard the ditch before. I love it.
I go back and forth between lamenting that corporate propaganda created this state of things, and lamenting that so many people are dumb enough to fall for it. Calling voters dumbasses doesn't solve anything, but I'm definitely thinking it a lot lately.
