Wanting to move out of the US?
Wanting to move out of the US?
Hello, all! Longtime lurker on Reddit and now on Lemmy. I’ve tried looking into getting out of the US as things aren’t looking too great as I’m sure many of you know, but wanted some tips from those of us who have gotten out. Where did you decide to move to, and what were the things you looked at when deciding to move there? How did you go about the process? What are some stories you can tell about the immigration process? Where can I start? How can I realistically make it happen? I hope this isn’t silly to you all, as it matters quite a lot to me and I’m genuinely interested in getting away from here for good. Thank you all for your time!

Trudeau said a few years ago that Canada will welcome any Americans who can bring useful skills to the country. That isn't a high bar either. He's basically saying as long as you can contribute to society and not be a bum, you're welcome. You didn't specify where you'd like to go, but that's one option.
Trudeau
He also ruined the country since then. I'd suggest Poland.
good thing you explained how
Since they suggested Poland as an alternative, it is probably something like "the gays"
Is Poland anti gays? I think they have been improved their tolerance in the last years? I know they had the pride parade in katowice last weekend
Things are getting better but painfully slowly. They don't even have recognised same sex partnerships, let alone marrieges. One of the arguments against partnerships when it was debated in the parliament a few years ago was that the word "partner" (which in Polish is also "partner") is already used in Polish and commonly means "business partner" and people would get confused which one you'd mean when you said "this is my partner". Wałęsa, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, said of one gay activist (who at the time was an MP) that he has no place in the parliament.
That was a few years ago though, and yes there have been pride parades across the country this year, and the news articles about them don't seem to be dominated by reports of "normality parades" counter-organised by homophobes on the same day to intimidate pride parades. But I guess it's one of those changes that happen funeral by funeral...
What was this post about? Oh, right. @OP, if you're gay - don't move to Poland. At least not just yet.
Trudeau
Just the one gay, actually.
I’d suggest Poland
… If you’re catholic, and able to learn the language, reputed to be one of the most difficult to learn for English-speakers.
