Guys, if you can make money online or live off your stock investments or whatever, you can also consider Slovakia. Maybe you can become an English teacher too, although that's probably not paid so well.
Much lower street crime than in the UK, you're safe to walk in the street, no ter. attacks (not a single mosque in the country), no illegal migrants because they're not interested in countries like Slovakia, though sometimes they pass through it. The population is like 99% white (although Roma/Gypsies are of Indian origin, so not really white but they usually live in villages or even separate settlements), the general population is either Christian or non-religious. Very nice nature with some proper deep forests which don't exist in England. If you like to go for a walk, surrounded by big trees, then that's your place! Avoid the west of the country which is more industrialised, more expensive, no mountains, the capital Bratislava and close surroundings are woke, but the rest of the country is fine. If you're into beautiful nature, go to central or eastern Slovakia. Just look at G. maps, where all the dark green is. Tatra mountains (High Tatras/Vysoke Tatry) are a tourist destination so that particular area is expensive too.
Slavic women generally are pretty and also a bit more traditional (especially the east of the country which is more Catholic).
Bear in mind, used cars are much more expensive than in the UK, though insurance only costs a fraction of that in the UK (maybe 100-200 euro per year), and no road tax, only motorway tickets which are optional, if you want to use motorways (which you don't really need to unless you're commuting). MOT (called STK) is valid for 2 years, not just 1 year like in the UK.
Edit: since I mentioned stocks at the beginning, the dividend tax in Slovakia is only 7%, which is one of the lowest in Europe and it's been like that for many years. But... things like that can change easily. Bank accounts are not free and only now they're implementing instant payments, lol. UK really has one of the best banking systems in the world... free current accounts, switch bonuses, 0% interest periods on credit cards, etc. Don't expect anything like that in Slovakia or other European countries.

@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx "You think it's wrong to demand equality of treatment"
First of, that's NOT what it's about. Or at least it's just a small portion of the whole thing. That's the same Motte & Bailey fallacy like when someone says "Feminism is just equality" when in fact there's a whole ginormous ideology behind it, with different waves, different branches, often opposing each other, millions of articles, books, research, etc. These movements can never be accurately described in one sentence.
Second, "Queer" has nothing to do with being gay or lesbian anymore. In fact, the word has been politicised and used by different people for different purposes now. This movement is just using gays and lesbians as human shields for their ideology. "Trans" is also controversial due to (but not only) involvement of children, as well as promoting pseudoscience, hate towards any critics, etc.
Third, what do you think of gays and lesbians who say they don't support pride? I've also seen many comments from lesbians like "Time to drop the T". It's not one or two comments, there's certainly a pattern and it seems like they are finally waking up.
I would also add that it's very ironic when this cult-like movement is calling other people "bigots".

@Teapot69 Mate, UK houses seem to have worse standards than in Eastern/Central Europe.
First of all, insulation is absolutely horrible. Huge gaps around windows, doors, cheap materials, etc. When I first arrived to the UK a decade ago, I had to move 6 times before I finally found something nice. Even though my current house still has poor insulation, I can literally feel the draft when all windows and doors are closed, at least it's fully detached and in a quiet village, so it's really nice here, without any annoying neighbours. All the previous houses were mouldy, cold, damp, very shoddy jobs in and out, I don't understand how UK builders can even build something like that, and how letting agencies and landlords are not ashamed to offer it to people. Windows opening outwards is a terrible design with no benefits, only drawbacks. Separate taps for scolding hot and freezing cold water even in newly built houses. My current house was converted from old metal works into a studio before I moved in, so I'm the first tenant. Everything should be nice, but it's not. And as if that wasn't enough, UK builders obviously don't bother with sealing anything. I had to seal gaps between the floor and walls with silicone because some strange worms were crawling in. Huge spiders squeeze through the door frame without any problems. And finally, it turned out they didn't seal any holes around water pipes either, so I also have mice in the house from time to time. Once I found a live frog in the shower and I still don't know to this day where did it come from, lol.

That's why I switched to working only 4 days a week.
The good thing about warehouse job is this flexibility. I can choose from 3 shifts (I only work afternoons which is great for a single guy with no kids, because I can sleep as long as I wish in the morning), I can choose how many days per week I want to work. I would even go for 3 days a week, but then I would be probably picking a lot, which is not good for my scoliosis. On a 4 or 5 days rota I'm almost always on reach truck (that's kinda like a fork lift truck). Also, the more you work, the higher percentage of tax they take from you, so f**k that.
I go there, clock in, do my 8 hours, clock out and don't care anymore. Whenever they announce some overtime available, I never take any. It's almost zero stress job.
Pretty much the only downside is the terrible cold, since you're just driving around a cold warehouse and your muscles are not doing anything to warm you up. There are also some pretty thick people working with you, but hey, it is what it is.

I came to the UK in 2014 with limited English at the age of 32.
I mean, I was already able to understand any university lectures on youtube, but understanding an average Brit is something else, lol... no school can prepare you for this. Even after 10 years here, I still don't understand some people, even though I do understand videos about quantum mechanics or philosophy or economics including all the terminology that most people have no idea about. It's just some of those ordinary people on street that are so difficult to understand.
Anyways.. I got a warehouse job in 2014, lived in a couple share houses, then with friends, then with just one girl, while saving a little every single month (no eating out, no drugs, no iPhones, no expensive holidays, no lots of new clothes, etc.). Then I bought a car because I really needed it for commuting, and later moved from Leicester to a small village. I rented a tiny stand alone house, so I don't share walls with any neighbours, I really enjoy the silence and privacy here.
I'm living alone, working 4 days a week and I even bought a Jaguar with 3-litre engine (of course not brand new). I finally opened a brokerage account and I'm now buying stocks, slowly building my future wealth. If you are a native English speaker and you have your parents and everyone else here, you already have a big advantage. You can do it!

@sauercrowder I already told you it's not a philosopher in the avatar. If you don't know what you're commenting on, maybe just don't address it?
I don't care "how smart I am", I only care about your arguments. See? This is how you've been deliberately misinterpreting and mocking other people's position, assuming what they would have said (the N word), assuming what they think, even making ridiculous claims about "shaking in their boots" when you are very well aware that it's actually your side to which this applies. That's pure projection, and it's not the only one you're guilty of. I'm "pretentious" but somehow you're too good to debate the "plebs" in youtube comments, so you just spam the whole thread with non-arguments and false claims, then projecting that very thing onto me or someone else.
You don't mind spending time on posts alluding to someone's immaturity or intelligence (which is of course fallacious) when instead you could have posted some good quality arguments already. For example, answering my question about male feminists. It's a simple question, really, not a rocket science.
You are here quite obviously in bad faith and that can be observed since your very first comment. Of course you know your BS will get called out eventually, so you've now positioned yourself as "This was my last post", just so you can avoid addressing any of it. I've seen all these cheap tactics countless times over decades.

Maybe you're now "too busy" or "have better things to do"? I know, I know, you're not the first one. They all get very busy as soon as they need to back their claims and make an actual valid arguments. Somehow that happens every single time. If a website allows it, they also switch off comments or delete the whole thread.

@tijan8948 OK, first thing I would be curious about is whether those historians are left wingers. We have the same kind of people who are feminists and they always provide one-sided interpretation of history which only supports their own feminist views. Is it the same with these historians talking about slavery? We know that many experts and academics are biased too.
Second, the most famous slave owners and traders were Arabs, not whtes. How come those historians didn't tell you this? And in which way did African slavery surpass any other, according to them? Was it in number of slaves or in the time span or in brutality or what? Did you know that Arabs used to castrate their slaves? Do you feel like that's not far worse than "just" being kept enslaved but not mutilated? You are a man, you should be able to imagine having your ** cut off. It's horrific. If whtes did the same thing as Arabs, most of African Americans wouldn't even be here today, maybe including you?
I'm from one of the Slavic nations. Do you know where the word Slavs originated? Yes, you're right, these nations were often victims of slave trade, repeatedly throughout history. Yet no one is talking about it, no one is asking for reparations, no one is blaming other nations or races. So why do you feel so entitled? And how is this victim mentality beneficial to you and your people? Can't you see it's only keeping you down?
Another thing I often hear from these complaining African Americans is that "whte people are benefiting from it even today". Well, guess what. YOU are benefiting from it just as much. You are certainly benefiting more than any whte people living in poorer European countries (mostly post-communist countries). I had to learn English in my thirties and move to the UK, so I can have a bit better life. If I wanted to just visit the US, I would need visa. Not to mention that most likely I wouldn't be able to move there and work there permanently. It's always the most privileged black people complaining.... they're well dressed, well fed, educated, earning good money, talking about how oppressed they are. Meanwhile, we the working class, are getting along totally fine, no matter what race, what nationality or gender. Can you imagine that? Then I come back home from my shift, open youtube, and I see all these toxic leftists telling me that you and me are enemies and I am somehow guilty for something that I've never done. Do these people even understand that there are plenty whte nations in Europe who have never ever had any colonies and never owned slaves? So when I hear about "whte privilege" I want to vomit. Same as "male privilege" and all the other divisive leftist talk. But according to media, it's always the "far right" or "alt right" which is the problem, not the commie left trying to set us against each other.

Warehouse picking might be even worse😅 Starting with 2 empty pallets, driving around the warehouse and picking cases from other pallets onto your 2 pallets which gradually get taller and taller, so at the end you may be lifting heavy stuff above your head just to put it on top of your pallets. You have a rate to do, but you also need to stack it properly and wrap it. If your stacking sucks, your pallet will collapse at the first turn you take, and you can re-stack it again, doing the same job twice but the restacking doesn't count toward your rate because it was your fault.
Your rate: 240 cases per hour, or 1800 per shift, or 2700 if you're doing 12 hours.
1 case = whatever is packed together, for example 8 bottles of water (8x 2 litres = 16 litres/16 kg = cca 35 lbs), that's 1 case. If computer tells you to pick 10 cases, you pick 10x 8 bottles packed together. Then proceed to the next slot, and next, and next...
So if computer assigns you trip via soda aisles, you pick about 2 tons per hour with your hands. Then wrap your pallets, drop them at the goods out lane, take another 2 empty pallets and repeat. If you're lucky, you're sent to aisle with some lighter biscuits. If not, you get another trip with soda, or wine or beer.

@memeabledata I just started watching this, I'm only 1:20 in, and had to pause and wonder why do so many people judge incels by their most extreme examples? I've read a decent amount of their comments here on youtube and most of them were not talking negatively about women, let alone be some hateful maniacs. I think this is kinda harmful toward guys who are already wrestling with depression and all sorts of other health issues and abuse against them. Incel is a state of being, not an ideology. Do a bit of search and see how completely differently our society treats female incels, it's all about compassion, empathy, looking for reasons why they are that way.
Btw, Red pill is not primarily about incels. In the world where almost all mainstream narratives are pandering to feminism, it is important to have at least some counter-balance. I don't actively follow any RP creators but from what I've heard so far, from random videos, there's a good amount of truth.

@restonthewind Intersex are not another sexes. Intersex is a CONDITION which in many cases can be TREATED with hormones in order to develop more male or more female traits, depending on which condition it is. There is no "treatment" to become intersex, or "another sex". In fact, intersex people are often infertile. That's certainly not some additional reproductive strategy, besides male and female, correct?
Yes, there are more masculine women and more feminine men, mostly due to hormone levels varying among individuals. But they are still men or women. And there is no other gamete than sperm or egg. Those are the only two that anyone can produce, or they can be infertile, as mentioned above.
Sex is not a spectrum, there are only two sexes.
As for the "trans". No one even knows what it is supposed to be. Is it a "soul" in the wrong body? Well, most of those people are materialists who don't believe in soul and call religious people bigots. So what else? Male brain in the female body and vice versa? Well, according to many feminists, it's sexist to assume that there's such thing as male brain and female brain. Allegedly our brains are identical in that regard. I don't agree with that but if you do, then you are probably sexist (according to feminists)?
Apart from autogynecophilic guys, I personally believe that trans people really FEEL like they are in the "wrong body", but that's pretty much it. I don't think they are lying about this, but it doesn't mean that they are objectively the opposite sex. BNST brain nucleus might be responsible for this, but again, that seems like a health condition, not some beneficial variation, as it only causes those people gender dysphoria and other problems.

@restonthewind OK, let's do this quickly...
"Intersex people are not a third sex or fourth sex or anything else" is an ideological statement, " - No, it is not. It is a fact. And you keep ignoring all my arguments and questions. Such as, what other gametes besides sperm and egg can you name?
"but you are so immersed in your own ideology" - Projection
"normal male or female is also a condition" - No it's not a health condition. English is not my first language but I probably understand better than you what a health condition means.
"Red hair and green eyes are also rare, but these conditions are something going wrong" - Firstly, false analogy. Secondly, yes, that's why those are not medically treated, while intersex often IS, whenever it's possible. That's another argument which you keep ignoring.
"A phenotypically feminine XY person is in the tail of a distribution" - A feminine person is still just a feminine person, either a male or female. There is nothing else. If your father was able to fertile an egg with his sperm, he is a man. There's no other mysterious sex that can do that.
There are only two types of gametes" is also ideological. In reality, every gamete is distinct from every other gamete." - LOL, this is getting ridiculous. My statement is not ideological, it's factual. Yours is ideological and you keep projecting it onto me. But let's see what you answer to this: Is "male privilege" real?
Seahorse male never gets impregnated. He is doing the impregnation and then keeps impregnated eggs in his pouch. Males can't get pregnant. And definitely not humans.
If you keep dodging the most important questions, I'll put a number on each point and then refer to numbers, to make it easier for you to address them.

@zx7-rr486 So who would be working in all those warehouses then? Like I said, it doesn't seem like Brits are very eager on it.
You can't blame house prices or NHS on a single factor, like immigration. Economy is like a super complex organism. My home country, as well as neighbouring countries have almost no immigration and yet house prices have gone up just as much as in the UK, maybe even more, relative to an average income which is still much lower than in the UK. Same with doctor/hospital waiting lists. What/who to blame then?
Also, if British companies like Tesco, BP, GSK, Unilever and others can operate or sell products and make profit in my country, then I should be able to move and earn money in yours. Isn't that just fair?

I pay my cards in full every month, so I don't care if the APR is 15% or 35%, it doesn't make any difference because I don't pay any interest.
But then there are cards with 0% interest for certain period. On those cards I only pay a minimum (or little above minimum) payment each month, until the 0% period is over. Then I either roll it over onto a balance transfer card, or just pay off the balance in full.
I bought my used car on a credit card. The interest on this card was 0% for 20 months. I had enough money to buy that car for cash, but why would I do that?? I kept the cash in my savings account earning 5% interest on it, while only paying the necessary minimum payment on the credit card each month. After 20 months when the 0% period ended, I rolled the remaining balance onto another card, while still keeping my money in the savings account. Now, with the second credit card I had to pay a balance transfer fee of 2.9%, but still, that's much lower than savings rates at the time, so it gave me another 18 months of 0% interest on credit, while earning 5% on my savings.
Another benefit of this whole thing is that using credit cards (never ever being late with monthly payments) builds you a great credit history, which in turn gives you the best rates on mortgage in the future.
