[@vikingexploring]

You don't seem to know a lot about Europe. Many countries are heading the exact same way as the US, although certain countries are resisting better - partly because of a pretty dark history and memory of communism. Wouldn't exactly call it "autonomy" either with the EU forcing things upon countries against their will.

[@juratin7]

Eastern Europe popping

[@buddy1155]

No it is not like that, I am from Europe so let me explain. It is the local (country) governments that are playing "good cop, bad cop" Regulation in the EU need unanimity consent from member states (in some instances a super majority but countries have still a veto), so all regulations got the okay from all the country governments. And as soon as the population don't like a regulation the local government tell them, it is not us, it is the EU. Now you would think that it would not work, but about 1/3th of the population (mostly low educated people) fall for it every time.

[@lionedheart]

Ya watch out for the "honeymoon phase" of any place. A lot of places are romanticized. And then when the honeymoon phase wears off u realize the place that although has many pros compared to other places u been, also has a lot of flaws. Pick a place where u can accept the flaws. For me that's the US. Home. Although I wouldn't mind living somewhere like Japan for a bit (bearing in mind the aforementioned as I have been through it with that country)

Hey Wes, With enough time on your journey around the world, the US may eventually evolve to a point where settling down could be ideal or promising to you by then. As you mentioned, no place truly has all the answers; there are always pros and cons everywhere. What's important is finding home within yourself, to the extent that wherever you go, it wouldn't matter, because home isn't a place-it's a state of mind that you carry with you. Safe travels!

[@tombernard4612]

I agree with 99% of your options.... however as far as clown world goes and I can speak firsthand on this, Germany is definitely as bad or even worse than the US nowadays . I lived in Germany in the 80s and 90s and it was a real country with a real identity. Now it is just a joke as far is the general population goes there is still some good traditional areas but other than that from 2000 ISH forward it's just gone downhill with ridiculous political decisions that are costing them billions now like shutting down their nuclear plants and now having to buy energy from France "because that is melting" .... They just become another drop in the globalist pot.

That bit about european countries having their own autonomy is a bit of a stretch man. The european union bullies the smaller countries into having these woke policies such as lgbt and immigration and hungary and poland stood up to that and they get backlash from the eu specifaclly germany. Look into poland they really have been fighting for their own culture identity and kids in regard to the rainbow mafia.

You can call a Uber all the same in some US cities to go out. Maybe I have a different experience because most of the time I spent in the US was in San Diego, but people there are normally in pretty good shape. Sometimes, the more money you have, the less stressed you are, the better you eat and the healthier you are and the more you can help others and have a chance of being happy.

Uber is also hella expensive in the us

Its history, and history never fails. All empires fall, US was the best place to migrate back in the 80-2000s.

Enjoyed an income-to-spending rate that was sustainable. Food was more natural and affordable. Now its just a meat grinder that wont care a bit bout tax payers.

The US is essentially a Third World contry nowadays. Because of this Europe was much more prosperous than the US but in order to stay the world's super power it became their highest priority to drag Europe down to their level. For this reason the US started the war in Ukraine and got Europe to pay for it. They blew up the Nordstream which left the European citizens and industry with unaffordable energy prices, etc. I am afraid there is no escaping the US for you.

The US was built on racism. It’s intrinsic and often times covert which is why to non-POC or people not from the states it looks like “you guys talk about race all the time” well ya….it effects institutions, ppls perceptions and treatment of you, dating, opportunity, the list is as long as a scroll lol

[@AndresArias-pm3tn]

​@@WheresWes People in general as they are growing up go through an identity crisis, growing up in the US, Colombia, the Philipines, Vietnam, Poland etc. This is all part of the human condition. Growing up as an immigrant, I understand we are not part of the mainstream, and yet we are our own mainstream, part of your ability to travel isn't just the blue passport, it's that you have shared your life experience with many cultures growing up in the US. This is something you have pointed out yourself in other videos. This is part of the beauty that is America. At this point, I do believe you have conquered the monkey mind when it comes to race and Identity in America. We live in a hodge podge of philosophy swinging from left to right, Ying and yang all looking to stay on the middle path. There is a campaign right now, that says that diversity isn't good for civilizations to prosper, which is a bit of a disturbing thought, since our nation is one of the most diverse on earth. Yet you may not have a Ph.D. in this matter but you have pointed out that Americans as diverse as they may be somehow all share a common mentality, so then it comes down to nature vs nurture it is human nature that we are all one... one love

I'd say many parts of Western Europe are going downhill as well. While the woke ideology isn't as in your face as the US, I think unchecked immigration will eventually lead to the same pitfalls as the US-higher crime, less safety, less social cohesion and trust (You can see this in the US with people sticking to themselves, kids aren't allowed to play outside or travel by themselves vs a country like Japan, etc), as well as a loss of identity which you mentioned. I live in the SF Bay Area and they don't release mugshots here because it's 'racist', and you can see the same thing in many European countries like Sweden where news outlets and crazily enough, even victims refuse to report on crime because it'd be 'racist'.

I don’t think America has a wokeness problem per say. I think the issue is that our media does way too much to promote diversity, even though much of the country is still backwards to accepting minorities and LGBT people. Americans have a tendency to care about other people’s business and thats why so many bigoted people are obsessed with LGBT people becoming more accepted in broader American society. In Europe, not only are people more accepting of LGBT people, but they don’t care if you are LGBT or not. A lot of Europeans mind their own business and don’t care about your gender or sexual preference.

Pretty much, most people are susceptible to become overweight and being unhealthy Americans have prioritize “Capitalism” or “Money” as the ultimate utopia to the point where they have lost family values and lack meaningful relationships. Way too superficial and individualistic. No wonder most people are depressed and have mental health issues. No culture Everyone’s sensitive (most people) Getting cancelled for nonsensical things Way to “politically correct”, it doesn’t make logical sense anymore The list goes on and on The U.S is only good to earn money and the leave it for some place better.
