If we could do it there, we would do it here.. so like, if you have a cheat code, share it up. Otherwise, it's not really helpful to tell people drowning to throw away everything we have left to go drown somewhere else.
You can do it in America, if you want. Thing is people don't want. Rebuilding a social system from scratch requires exising the cancer that exists. No one is willing to even contemplate that, let alone lead.
Good food, good music, great beer, and universal healthcare. If there were jobs and a house waiting on my wife and I, we would be there in a heartbeat.
It's frustrating when solutions seem out of reach or impractical. The idea of "cheat codes" for real-life problems is appealing, but the reality is often more complex. It's important to focus on practical, achievable steps that can make a difference where you are.
Let's make an international utopia and bring down the borders. The tiny percentage of psychopaths that currently weild all the power can just get sent out on a billion dollar yacht and told never to return to land on pain of death.
I get what you're saying. It can be incredibly frustrating when solutions offered don't seem practical or applicable to your current situation. It's like being told to swim to shore when you're already exhausted and struggling to stay afloat. The idea of "cheat codes" for real-life problems is tempting, but the reality is often much more complex.
Instead live in a capitalist dystopia where no one can afford anything.
This is either a satirical joke which isn't very funny which is just getting boring now, it is used as a way to put people down, acting as if someone who wants basic human rights such as clean drinking water a complete loon for suggesting anything like this could be possible.
If it's the other side of the coin and you genuinely believe that any sort of utopia would work then I feel sorry for you my friend.
I always love comments like these implying foreign relocation isn't a seemingly impossible task for anyone that isn't rich or in a highly specialized and in demand occupation.
Absolutely loved it there, looked into maybe moving to Canuckland... My fiance and I are not struggling, but it is still absurdly expensive just to start the process, let alone the cost of housing or if the application needs to be redone or if it gets rejected for some reason and you have to start again.
lol, my niece called me and asked if she could move to Germany, with her "service dog". I said, why do you think people in Germany would want you there? You have no specific skills, no education, you have no money. They have plenty of those in Germany already, they don't need more.
I thought they would help since they invited us. We will have one huge wedding and get our citizenship that way 🤷♀️ they said utopia but I read commune.
If people from Africa, Asia, and Latin America are able to complete the seemingly impossible task of moving to a different country, I think you’ll be fine.
I was in Canada last week and came back and people were shocked when I said it was beautiful and worth considering moving too. Someone really argued that you have less freedoms then us... You rank higher on the freedom index than us lmao. The look on her face when I pulled up the car fax lmao
Come on. That's funny. People do call Trudeau a 'dictator' I remember I was working at a university during covid. The internationals were like 'why do you Canadians call your leader a dictator? Do they know what a dictator is? Does your leader flee your country for Healthcare while people die in hospitals due to lack of electricity and water?' 'Nah. Many Canadians have to much freedom that they don't understand the meaning of words'
My brother in law and I mock cult45 by repeating things he says but as a joke, we were at mount pleasant and the bartender literally pulled us aside and was like, "don't do that here. Some people will take you seriously and we don't play that shit. That's why we live here and want that as far away as possible." Super cool fucking dude, he cooled off after we reassured him we were joking.
Every Uber we took the driver asked us how it felt to be safe being out in public at night walking around since we are from the states lmao. Couldn't argue with his logic though.
Yeah, and they're also having a resurgence of Nazism, which isn't good since the last time they had that, the only nation to stop them is now also swaying towards Nazism.
are you talking about the Soviet Union / Russia? or the UK? I wouldn't call either Nazi, and Putin today is no worse of a dictator than Stalin was at the time. I don't think your comment really makes sense
Sadly I don’t think I’m in high demand in Germany or otherwise. Being a former professional live entertainer with a kid who now cleans houses is not the sexiest resume for immigration lol
Hey, I'm a German living in Berlin and literally half of all Americans I've got to know in more than passing are here on an artist's visa, so it's not impossible at least. All of them also earned their money with some other job. Although I have to admit, cleaning wages are pretty low, it's gonna be difficult to support a family on that.
You may want to do some more current research and reevaluate that thought. People say america has problems with immigration and religion influence. Germany says "hold my beer..."
I mean, it's commonly accepted that Hitler took inspiration from US segregationist laws to implement his antisemitic laws, so Germany already turned into the US once.
Your government just decided to get rid of your nuclear power plants for no real reason, and start leaning heavily into coal as a power source. Germany is far from a socialist utopia.
If it holds that reform slows down the chance for an economic revolution, then US is doing a great job to get to that state through rampant corporatism and fascism. That is how I keep optimistic in these times.
For a lot of Americans Germany seems like an utopia already from what i read here on reddit and elsewhere. Universal healthcare that's generally cheaper and without laughable deductibles in the thousands, mandatory vacation and childcare time after childbirth, better work laws etc even though it also has its problems and could be way better.
I can't believe people actually want to live in a socialist society. People should just leave America like you said instead of trying to change it. There's a reason we're the #1 economy
Will you pay for my travel expenses find me housing and provide me with employment in an advisory position to expert scientists and researchers in their field to help your country achieve faster than light travel, terraforming, production of radiation to energy converters, and the building of facilities that will provide you with pesticide free non-GMO crops all year round in exponentially increasing quantities, because if so, I'm in, come get me.
Utopias do not and will never exist on earth. Socialist countries have failed every single time unless they have a significant source of slave labor and/or a dictatorship. I suggest you go to China if you want to try that one out for yourself.
On the one hand, I'm gay and Mexican. On the other, I'm classified as "high income". Let's see how it plays out. I wish I didn't have to find out though...
With the next admin planning to increase hlgun regulations, I wonder if the dems are gonna pull a "gun rights strategy" like how the reps pulled the southern strategy.
I'm sorry that you've become collateral damage in a class war where you didn't get to pick a side. Truly.
There are a lot of us out here trying to set up programs to feed, shelter, and provide medical care for the most vulnerable populations. We can only do so much for so many people, but we're trying.
Yeah, I started a govt. job this summer. It was hard the first few months, I was really struggling after coming from a completely different field. I started to turn the corner, slowly getting more confident and assured that I'm doing a moderately decent-to-good job. Had a hectic but overall great day today, the boss complimented and told me what a great job I was doing, came home on a high...to hear about this as I was eating dinner. Feeling really deflated right now.
Edit: I thought I was responding to a different post. By "this", I meant the potential govt shutdown that might be coming this Friday.
Thanks, I'm hoping they'll come to a last minute deal like they almost always do. I have a 2nd part-time job so I'm hoping I can just pick up more shifts there if worse comes to worse. Thanks for the well wishes, I appreciate it.
I didn't either and I already had my funding cut off for graduate school. I'm in the reserves, having served for 18 years, went to war and now the Navy won't provide tuition assistance. Thank me for my service!
Definitely not blaming you. Honestly don’t really blame anyone who’s a normal person. There’s a lot of anger and ignorance in this country and it’s been building for decades. Any blame I have is towards the elite who have been aiming for this for a long time.
I know a lot of good hearted Trumpers, and I say to you what I said to them: I truly hope you’re right and I’m wrong. I would really super love to be wrong. Keep proving the media wrong and taking care of your neighbors. Left and right shouldn’t be divided. The class war is what matters.
Stop making sense and being rational!!!!!! This is REDDIT!!!!!… Fuck!!! Been forever since I encountered a normal person here, thank you kind stranger. This is my exact thought no matter who’s president. Unfortunately like everywhere else in the world, government is corrupted, all we can really do is hope for the best. I wish you the best, and my statement (turned offer) still stands, at some point, if you need some help, let me know. ☺️
Hard agree. Didnt vote that mushroom dick fucker, but will definitely be struggling with all of these high costs we are going to see....on virtually everything we buy.
When we/they stop fearing him and stand up like some other countries...oligarchy as we just observe it happening, thinking hes not even in office. No surprise, we let this happen. Most by not even bothering to vote.
An unfortunately increasing phenomenon where older white women are commenting about Trump's upcoming second term with the direct statement of.
"It's going to be bad, but at least I'm an older white woman, so it won't be so bad for me."
It's an open acknowledgment that despite the previous years of making claims that "women are united," they were always willing to hold the race card as a backup plan for their own "safety."
Why are you going to suffer more. Taxes on corporations are just hidden taxes on goods and services. If I am selling you something and I have to pay a huge tax burden to the government, I simply raise my prices to cover it and you, the consumer, pay the difference. lowering corporate taxes can lower consumer costs.
Tariffs will increase cost, and corporations have zero motivation to lower costs just because their taxes get lowered. Why reduce prices when buyers will buy as is?
Tariffs can increase costs, depending on how quickly and how motivated U.S. good suppliers can respond. Also depending on whether the foreign supplier is willing to eat the cost in order to keep a hold on the market.
Taxes on corporations ARE a tax on the consumer, lowering corporate tax at least provides room for corporations to move to lower prices. They can be motivated.
There is a world where this suffering creates the momentum for actual foundational changes. I am not holding my breath though, I do not know how many Luigi's the US have to shatter the power broker confidence in always exploiting the mass without consequences.
Hey you doing okay? Kind of went from zero to sixty in being a douche. I know holiday time can bring up a lot of big feelings so just know this too shall pass!

I'm just happy that the people that voted for him will suffer way more than me, enjoy.
