huh. corruption, state capture, kleptocracy. I think elon is just trying to make the US like his home country.
Hey, you guys ever heard of brain drain?
Because we’ve got a nice Europe over here ready to show you some humanity
Tempting to flee, but also don’t want to leave death cult fascists in sole control of the deadliest nuclear arsenal on the planet. I’m staying put.

I would, but guns are my hobby and I don’t speak Czech.
switzerland, but it’s hella expensive there. France has an active hunting scene as well. No hand guns allowed here for civilians, but rifles and shotguns are allowed with a license.
I mean, even in the UK I can own a rifle and shotgun with minimal hassle.
But I can’t in good faith recommend anyone moves here from the US tbh.
Germany would be a solid bet of you’re into shooting - lots of hunting going on there, and generally a high level of English proficiency also.
Anyone willing to help with citizenship 👀
Just asking for a friend
(That friend is me)
some countries allow citizenship based on ancestry. Germany, Poland, etc. If one or more of your ancestors came from europe you might be eligible to claim citizenship that way. if you can work from home, you might be able to get a long stay visitor’s visa in some countries, which will allow you to live there, but not work in their local market. after a period of time you’d be eligible for permanent residency which would allow you to work there though.
Interesting. My grandparents were from Germany and I’m an engineer.
I’m more the type to stand and fight fascism than run away though. Hell the AFD is a problem there too.
But I’d like to start looking into it if shit gets real bad which I’m pretty sure it will
I don’t even know where to begin looking but I’m interested.
England has its own problems, but for anyone who decides the North East of England sounds appealing, I’d be quite happy to do the traditional British thing of sitting in a pub and putting the world to rights whilst enjoying a nice beer with you 🍻
We’re all either going to die in a blaze of fire within 4 years or we’re going to survive with some pretty hefty PTSD. Either way, we’re gonna need some friends to enjoy it with.
I’m moving to Sweden in about 6 months! Or sooner if things go wildly to shit before then…
I recently saw a video claiming that the US taxes it’s citizens even if they live abroad. Is that true? If so, how are you going to deal with that? Paying taxes for two countries would not leave you a lot to live on…
In addition to what others said, there is also the FEIE, quite a generous tax deduction for US citizens who live abroad.
I believe you’re only taxed the delta between what would be your US rate and another country’s rate if said country has a lower rate.
Most countries have agreements to not double tax people. So if you tell the US government you already pay taxes to Sweden, they will waive their own tax requirements
No ability for me to move for quite a few reasons… I need the option to for a more literal interpretation (volunteer to test physical brain preservation).
Just have to say I have been unemployed for awhile and this whole who knows if money will have value thing is just such a rrrreeeeeeaaaaaaaaalllllllllyyyyyyy great motivator when looking for work. I just spring up every day to send out resumes.
No no no. Thats not it. Its all the nations money. Its the whole banking systems both the governments and yours and mine. Feel better?
He’s fattening up the pig for the inevitable butchering.
Well shit, with all the neoconfederates muttering about the confederacy rising again for over a century, I didn’t expect the Nazis to pull out a surprise victory.
Guess that’s what happens when a nation worships something as hollow as money and greed and not the wellbeing of society and its people.
The Nazis were defeated, but never really destroyed.
Humanity should avoid this error from happening a second time.
Edit: I’m not saying Germany should have been erased. I mean, Nazis should have been chased until the last one was caught. German or not is irrelevant.
uh no, actually, because the congress does, as defined by the fucking founding fathers.
Power belongs to the ones that wield it.
Congress has given it up, as their spiritual ancestors did to Hitler and Mussolini.
It won’t be taken back with votes.
You bet little man.
And don’t worry, it’s not your country he has suggested be cleared out yet.
Edit: * food aid in background being loaded onto US military contractor plane *
I love the meme that was pointing out, musk is not a nazi, the salute does not make him a nazi. He is supporting and fundiny nazis to curry their favor, and that is far worse. He is funding nazis for his greed.
That’s like saying that industrialists in Germany who gave money to the Nazi party, went to Nazi party conferences were they gave Nazi salutes and were nominated by the Nazis to positions in the Nazi Government were not Nazis.
If he hangs around with them, gets invited to talk at their conferences, gives them money and even gets given an important position by them, then he’s one of them even if he’s not a Nazi Party card carrying member (which, technically, none of the modern Nazis is since the National Socialist Party of the German Worker doesn’t exist anymore).
The really hilarious bit was using his greed as justification for him not being a Nazi, as if the leaders of far right political movements weren’t themselves invariably driven by either Greed or Hate to be there. Do you really think Trump does what he does out of love for the Cause???!
For example who is worse, the Americans who fall for the fear mongering or the people who are fear mongering for power? One are ignorant or willfully ignorant, commonly racist. Other know they are taking advantage of people, know they are shoveling bull but in 100% clarity of mind, are okay with it.
The point of it is, he is not even doing this for something he believes in. He may not or may not think the nazis are right but would openly serve, support and curry favour with them to serve his greed. Knowing full well he consigns people to death or worse, for greed. He is spineless and greedy.
He would join any group no matter how vile and that is arguably worse then believeing in twisted ideologies.
The point is that most top Nazis joined the Nazi Party not because they believed the ideology but because they expected they would gain from it.
In fact a lot of the “common people” who supported them did so because they expected they would gain from it.
Just about in every Rightwing movement out there (and, sadly, quite a lot of the Leftwing movements) if you exclude people who support it because they believe that they’ll personally be better of with it, only a small percentage of people are left.
This is even more so for major political parties were the power (and hence personal upside maximization possibilities) that high level members and supporters can obtain from their participation is huge, so it’s even less likely to find unselfish true believers at the top levels of such political parties because they attract so many who just “support” the ideology as a means to an end.
I mean, the motivations of the people at the top are so disconnected from the stated ideology that the National Socialist Party of the German Worker was in fact anti-Socialist and didn’t do much for the German Worker, and the Democrat party has a primary system with Super Voters whose votes count way more than individual party member’s.
All this to say that the only thing that makes sense in defining one as a supporter or not of a certain kind of ideology is if they support or not the same goals as the ideology and support or not the spreading of the ideology, quite independently of their motivations.
yes, and so musk is not a nazi because he said anything, not because he did a nazi salute, not because he belives in their cause, but he funds them, and will overlook abhorrence for his greed. Not even a spine to have twisted beliefs, just greed.
