What do you think? Is he right? Wrong? Not wrong, but an asshole?

When I see how hard advocates and sympathetic planners have to work in 2023 to get a halfassed facility that would never make it off the drawing board in the Netherlands, it’s hard for me to say he’s wrong.

      Well even before that you need a sponsored work visa and good luck getting one unless you’re in finance or tech with 5+ years of experience. Only other option is teach English and hope you make enough connections to get a work visa after the contract is up. I really want to get out of here but I work manual labor and dropped out of university due to depression/anxiety/other undiagnosed mental illness so I only have an associate’s degree. I though about joining the French Foreign Legion as a last resort but I’m anti-imperialist to the core so I would probably end up fragging an officer.

      I also could possibly get citizenship in a European country through grandparents or great-grandparents but there’s like no family tree so I have no idea if I would qualify. I would need to hire someone to go through records to figure it out.

        Oh, yeah, and on top of that if you have any kind of disability what-so-ever you’re barred from immigrating to almost every country, because fuck you eugenics rules! monke-rage
