  1. i heard a lot of horror stories about Brazilian import taxes and also in some other south American countries in most countries taxes are not a big deal for the average person. but in brazil it really ruins a lot of basic things .
    88
  2. Mexico has a lot of similar problems as American when it comes to politics combined with very high crime Malaysia is not perfect but its very different .
    18
  3. The thing with that even is that its not really political in non western countries its more about the culture .like for example japan has always been very cleanly and germophobic so this caused a huge panic in the country .but in a lot of African countries nobody cared because they experience way worse diseases all the time. and in sweden they had an old law that banned lockdowns.
    17
  4. Bulgaria doesn't have most of the downsides of Russia
    15
  5. yea they don't change their mindset they just saw some old movies and think its like that
    12
  6. it wont be world wide most countries are getting better and even if things get hyper bad some places will be less affected
    12
  7. not what i have seen and my town is like 25% Turkish
    10
  8. a lot of people don't know this but nuclear fallout wont be as major as people think as long as you stay away from big cities and military targets you will have a chance to survive
    8
  9. maybe but in northern and western Europe its quite horrible too mostly just because they copy American, trends too much even the bad ones
    7
  10. if you actually want to live there Serbia since Mexico has very high crime and its not improving while Serbia has very low crime and the country is getting richer quickly .but for travel mexico is better since Serbia has been involved with political drama while Mexico tries to be more neutral .
    5
  11. they are very xenophobic even if you are rich you will face discrimination
    5
  12. i don't care about tiktok and china but we need more non American tech platforms. i am worried that they will do the same thing when more democratic countries like Poland or India or japan start making good apps that get successful but get banned anyway .because they compete with facebook or google .
    5
  13. its because the country is so small a big storm will affect the entire country while in normal sized countries it will only affect certain regions .
    5
  14. Don't go to Latin America please if wokeness is your main concern. they are very similar to the us and western Europe in terms of politics its just that they are poor and have a tropical climate so they appear more exotic .but remember just like the us and Canada they where European colonies but from Spain and Portugal .even in places like the Czech republic they are less woke than in most Latin American places
    5
  15. Because Turkish people are so proud and parotitic so that must mean their country is perfect and richer than Switzerland. because swiss people complain too much compared to the proud Turks who live in the greatest country in the world apart from maybe India.
    5
  16. they really seem to miss turkey when they are not there
    5
  17. i would probably wait a few decades to see if it stays stable
    5
  18.  @napabilirim  i noticed Turkish people online are nicer than the ones i see irl .this is usually the opposite with most cultures. i think the people who moved here were having "problems" in turkey and wanted to move to a place with more friendly cops and justice system
    4
  19. turkey has good things going for it but at least when it comes to online stuff like social media or other things the Turkish government will try to censor and micromanage you. like they blocked wikipedia for a few years over something minor. maybe it is great for manufacturing or non interactive internet services and software
    4
  20. Yea avoid south america they even got wokness over there so its totally pointless go to places like the czech republic Hungary or japan the crime rates are some of the lowest in the world
    4
  21. i think El Salvador will probably go down hill quickly Latin American countries tends to have sort periods of success that never last long
    4
  22. probably because in the uk he is being harassed he didn't expect the country to become so radical he started ukip before wokness was a thing so at that time it seemed like a better idea but Germany does seem like a bad choice .
    3
  23. people have to do their research but in most countries things will change very slowly and politicians wont do much right now. in the west i think the far left is worse but after learning some languages and traveling i noticed that the far right is still a thing in many parts of the world with unhinged nationalism and religious extremism being quite common even in places were you won't expect it so you will face discrimination and things can also change quickly but its more cultural like obama in 2010 seemed to have a totally different ideology than in 2015. and lets not even talk about how much joe Biden changed over the years .i used to vote for the left in my own country but i saw them becoming woke and now i am supporting right wing politicians but i do wish the left would have a renascence and return to what they were like just 15 years ago. in many other countries the left is more sensible most true communist countries tend to become like that because of a revolution not elections and since the fall of the ussr it happens way less. the only countries i can think of that went full old school communist after 1990 is Venezuela and maybe Bolivia and nepal most countries that became authoritarian recently were taken over by military coups or religious extremists. in the west we do have a problem with wokness like in the uk its undermining freedoms and quality of life. but it still isn't that bad and wokness is really more like a distant spinoff of the far left that is nothing like what you see in non western countries and only became a thing in the last 10 years .

  24. you can go to japan or Poland
    3
  25. not really gen z thinks its edgy most old people just want to live in peace
    3
  26. Serbia or Botswana
    3
  27.  @HOI4notsoproplayer  south America hasn't improved much .but i was thinking about Asian and eastern European countries
    3
  28. yea they are very xenophobic
    3
  29.  @Brabbs  Norway and Switzerland are woke but in Dubai you have no freedom and Singapore is not very free too
    3
  30. yea but i have had some problems with drunk bike riders almost crashing into me or trying to fight me
    3
  31. Latin America has similar politics to north America in eastern Europe there is slightly more racism than in the west but not that much. they may call you the n word and do blackface but you wont be discriminated against like in America back in 1950. anti black racism is more common in Asia now were you will not be allowed to enter certain shops or restaurants or they will blame you for things you were not involved with.
    3
  32. it will be bettER but you all hopefully remember 2019 2018 2017 not exactly the most stable time for America even if the 2020s ended up being way more extreme. so its just going to slow the bad things down not actually make it better
    3
  33. There are plenty of countries to go to al of asia all of africa and half of europe
    3
  34. i am not sure about that you got Venezuela being ambitious and cuba and there used to be a lot of wars involving Haiti and Dominican republic and if America wants to fight Venezuela some of the Caribbean countries could be affected
    3
  35.  @whereeaglesdare9584  everything wrong with Canada but with more poverty and crime
    3
  36. i just hate all the paper work at the border and not having internet for more than 24 hours .seems like have a internet addiction problem i loved to go to other countries when i was a kid and my parents did all the paper work and i didn't care about the internet or it didn't even exist . on most of my recent ravels the internet has been annoying hotel internet is permanently stuck in 1990 and you can't use phone internet even elon musk would be broke after a few hours of doing that unless you buy a local sim and phone subscription. some countries have unlimited but others are also stuck in 2005 they got very fast mobile internet but you can only use 1gb before they shut it off and they just expect you to use wifi. but that is fine for locals but not when you are stuck at the hotel
    2
  37. i am from Belgium i noticed some regions have extreme crime and other regions have almost none .and by regions i mean small areas like towns or neighbourhoods. it seems like most criminals don't like to move around much they are impulsive people and don't plan their crimes. but the places with high crime are places that are hard to avoid like train stations and big cities. and its spreading there used to be places that were safe 10ish years ago that are dangerous now. like this was this place not far from were i live that used to be quite funny since you had a lot of very conservative Christian old people and a lot of very conservative Muslims living there making things quite strange but now the old people are gone and the crime got out of control.
    2
  38. i don't have much experience but all i know is that i never had relationships with women from my ow country and i never even travelled to another country for this they were tourists or immigrants. seems like most women in my country are very prudish in a strange way .this is western europe btw you can't be honest to them they want to know you for years and they don't tolerate minor flaws .like if you have a hobby that isn't mainstream or if you prefer to not spend money on luxury items .i guess some women fetishize men from other countries since i noticed foreign men having more success in my country too
    2
  39. he mentioned he was in Mozambique in the 90s i think that there were probably like 10 computers in the entire country back then lol .but nowadays even there you got a lot of people with internet access but in the 90s you only had rich countries online .you had these maps of global internet activity and Africa and most of Asia was just a big hole of nothing. but south America and the Caribbean and eastern Europe got online quite early too
    2
  40. japan and most of the central European countries have low crime and freedom
    2
  41. At least with what you are doing you need to have some basic geography and geopolitics knowledge that most Americans don't seem to have .
    2
  42. not really but in some countries its easy to obtain one and you can actually use it too but i think the usa is the only one were its seen as a basic right
    2
  43. no Philippines is a prime target and Thailand will probably try to be neutral but they are close to china
    2
  44. even here in Belgium a very expensive west European country my house was only 120k
    2
  45. i used to think this issue was not serious but there are a lot of people world wide who hate these guys they are looking for any excuse to attack them .and if they can't find them they will try to find people who support them instead like in my town some people in a shop started yelling does anyone here support (redacted)? it seems to be almost everywhere. eastern Europe western Europe many Asian countries Africa south America. i think the safest places for these guys right now are Buddhist countries like japan and some places in south east Asia where most people don't have influence from Abrahamic religions .
    2
  46. i used to think Canada was 99% French speaking for some reason
    2
  47.  @PatrickCrossfire.  yea but that is another issue .i mean that the politics in south America have similar issues as the us and western Europe combined with poverty. but all of that wont matter when the rest of the world is literally uninhabitable. i guess you could also risk going to Botswana or Namibia. but i don't know much about these countries apart from them getting richer quickly but its still Africa. i know south Africa is no good and Botswana and Namibia are now richer and have more freedom. but in this scenario survival is more important so you got to stay far from any city .but i doubt it will happen and if its does i will have time to flee. the southern hemisphere doesn't have much choice its all very westernised even in south Africa.
    2
  48. no some of the highest crime rates in the world not saying there aren't good things going on there but the crime is out of control
    2
  49. it had to be censored because of the name
    2
  50. yea its very xenophobic i am often surprised by their hate no matter what you do for them its never enough
    2
  51. we got to remember what things were like in 2018 and 2019 it was better than today but definitely not good and going downhill and trump did only a small fraction of the things he said he would do .
    2
  52. maybe they want to live in central Europe or the Baltics some of those countries are richer than Spain and don't have most of the west European issues. but in the last few years the future of central/eastern Europe is not so certain anymore now that the cold war is back .
    2
  53. Latin America is like what if we took all the bad things from western Europe but made it poor .
    2
  54.  @sivaratnamasabaratnam8946  there are a lot of free countries that don't have this. anywhere from Poland to japan India Kenya
    2
  55. no they already tested a lot of them in Siberia and the pacific and it was not a big deal to those far away from the explosion
    2
  56. some people think American dating is like American pie from 1999. i doubt it was ever that easy for real but they still have an outdated view and will be very disappointed .
    2
  57.  @Beyond_Partisan  That is true for western europe but once you go beyond germany its not woke at all
    2
  58. there are a lot of reasons to leave the us but the guys obsessing over Donald are doing it for the wrong reasons especially the rich ones
    2
  59. but seriously you can have this kind of luxury life in Cambodia with the same amount of money as Spanish dentist .if you are from Switzerland you can probably have this if you are on minimum wage
    2
  60. just avoid ing and rabobank from the Netherlands
    2
  61. because back in the 90s 99% of the stuff on tv made America seem like the prefect country and now you got 30+ year old people who haven't changed their views .
    2
  62. Cool place but the future looks dark for whales its very woke the leaders don't care what the people think it has most of the same problems as America. the biggest advantage they have over the usa is the healthcare system but most countries have a better healthcare system than the usa and the uk system is quite mediocre. but knowing the audience of this channel most people wont care about that. so there isn't really a reason to move there if you are American or west European. i am from Belgium and i only got French and Italian ancestry but France to so similar to Belgium i wouldn't even be able to tell the difference .and Italy is nice but i m not sure if its going to have the same issues as western Europe. i don't really know what to think of southern Europe to be honest i only know it as a place were you go enjoy warm weather and look at ruins .the politics seem all over the place sometimes its like Belgium or the uk other times its very conservative. and i don't know what daily life is actually like. with eastern Europe i think i know what is going on and it has a lot of ups and downs but most Americans tend to have ancestry from all over Europe and beyond
    2
  63. it was a few years ago but its under martial law right now
    2
  64. I wouldn't bother with south america they have more in common with europe and north America than you think
    2
  65. just avoid major cities
    2
  66. brazil can still be saved if they elect another government seems like brazil is like a more extreme version of the usa with its political drama .but the difference is that the government can just totally nullify what the previous one was doing and they don't care about things like free speech in brazil .but i would still avoid it because its very unpredictable same with pretty much all of Latin America. its basically like the west but with 3rd world issues there are not a lot of good reasons to move there .
    2
  67. Botswana or Kiribati
    2
  68.  @brahmaistrash.indiaisatoil5292  probably because someone made fun of the dictator or religion .
    2
  69. if you live in north America you got no options its too big and Latin America and Caribbean has similar issues to the us and Canada mixed with classic problems with poverty. if you live in Europe maybe something like Czech republic .
    1
  70. those islands appear to be some of the strangest places on earth
    1
  71. i think this should mostly work for people who can afford a plane ticket but we should look for places as close to home as possible
    1
  72. if a country becomes independent it will probably be poor for the first few years but they tend to happen in waves in 1991 a lot of countries got independent and in 1975 and 1960 .since the 2000s only 3 or 4 countries got independent east Timor south Sudan Montenegro and maybe Kosovo. i don't know much about east Timor i heard a few bad things but i am not sure. south Sudan is bad monteegro is good but tiny Kosovo is only semi independent .it seems that one of the countries that may exist soon is Bougainville a pacific island controlled by Papua new guinea its small yet it has a lot of languages it seems bad right now maybe it will develop. there is also Somaliland that is basically independent right now. apart from that we can only speculate maybe the independence movements in Europe like in Scotland and Catalonia Flanders will grow again as things go downhill .but maybe the opposite will happen and there is a lot going on in Burma and Ethiopia but thiese guys have been trying for a long time
    1
  73. in japan the punishments are still harsher than in most European countries and the usa
    1
  74. Yea and 13 years ago they where doing great compared to now
    1
  75. it seems unrelated both democratic and authoritarian countries have low crime and it also goes the other way
    1
  76.  @7x779  you need to do military service and you get one for free but most young men are forced to do that but if you are immigrating and are over 30 you wont be able to do it and i don't think a lot of people would want to do that
    1
  77. why did you go there in the 1980s ?
    1
  78. they legalised it before most west European countries but these days its not the best choice for you but also not the worst. but i would go to japan or Korea south east Asia instead
    1
  79. If America bans them the eu and many other countries will follow too at this rate you will only be able to use it in Africa Russia and a few random Latin American and Asian countries with good relationships with china like brazil or Cambodia
    1
  80.  @somebody1241  Belgium close
    1
  81. we know what to expect from him better than biden but he is only going to delay the inevitable. and when it comes to tech trump is so old he thinks its all just video games and not important its really time for people born post 1970 to become leaders. i think when it comes to tech its very hard to compete i see a lot of promising countries from japan south korea or eastern Europe but they keep failing the European ones fail because because of the eu or in the case of Russia sanctions and too much government interference .the Asian ones tend to fail because they lack ambition and don't care about other regions and if they do they copy American mistakes and the rest of the world either lacks creativity or is too poor or authoritarian.
    1
  82. Maybe but i can't even find any from my own continent only lmao
    1
  83. its bad for most things but in a ww3 scenario its probably one of the best places just because it wont be at war. but you probably want to leave as soon as the war is over. i knew an old guy from Belgium who moved there in ww2 to stay safe .but then went back to Belgium because he saw that Belgium was recovering very quickly while Argentina was failing even during peace time
    1
  84. yea but despite their attempt to be neutral in a ww3 scenario they may end up getting involved because of china
    1
  85.  @BusinessandFinance-ym5bk  most of brazil is like that too
    1
  86. the country has a lot of potential but it wont be neutral if the world stays peaceful its fine but it will definitely get involved in ww3
    1
  87. i think patriotism is good to a certain extent because right now were i live you have a lot of sell-outs making bad decisions and selling off our inventions and infrastructure because they don't care about this country and will just move or think there will be eternal world peace .but in a lot of countries they go too far like in places like turkey or India if you save something negative about the country you will be attracted not by the government but by ordinary people you can see the toxic positivity if you watch a lot of travel vloggers. i think that in western Europe and north America a few decades ago had a good balance of patriotism while still being critical of some aspects of the culture and traditions. but now its just going down hill and the younger generations are becoming corrupt since they just don't care about the consequences of selling out to countries that still view themselves as superior despite their flaws.
    1
  88. But the borders are closed now
    1
  89. learn russian and maybe you will finally see the flaws the country has
    1
  90. yea and you will be drafted too
    1
  91.  @PatrickCrossfire.  and they deleted your comment
    1
  92.  @OpinionatedNomad  i said Namibia and Botswana are the best read again .
    1
  93. yea the only advantage is the welfare system but its still worse than the system in other European countries and these are the type of guys that don't really need that
    1
  94. yea Canada is going downhill but it has a much better welfare system the problem is that its a lot of rich people that want to move so there is no benefit for these guys
    1
  95. its probably going to be full of Russian troops .
    1
  96. from 2017 to 2020 things didn't really get better for most people people forgot because of how legendarily hectic the period of 2020 to 2022 was but in 2019 things were definitely in hard decline. it has not much to do with trump or Biden because the problem is cultural .maybe things will get better eventually but right now it seems like at best trump will just slightly slow down the decline but you probably wont notice a difference.
    1
  97. china is micromanaged if something has a minor flaw it has to be removed no matter the consequences
    1
  98. i noticed they really don't like advice
    1
  99. I think its best to listen to a lot of people since you should know what things are like for women .but in the end she doesn't know what its like to not have 90% of the male population be attracted to you without effort .
    1
  100. when it comes to firearms nothing is on par with the usa apart from places like Yemen and south Sudan but they will confiscate them once they have peace. in laos in the 1990s they were forced to own one by law in case of a war .but nowadays they are totally banned in most countries people don't care about owning firearms but in America its just part of the culture .
    1
  101. it wont be neutral
    1
  102.  @kagi95  no just my wallet
    1
  103. Russia is only doing this because they have beef with America and they want to expose every flaw America has most other countries don't advertise this because they want to stay neutral or friendly with America. but you will have a better time in most central European or Asian countries .the Russian government always tries to intervene with your business and the war is causing big problems .if you are young you may get drafted or if you are old you may rely on random younger men who get drafted and now Ukraine even managed to attack places in Russia so its not very safe. this video is quite good because a lot of western people are fans of Russia but they have so many misconceptions about the country its absurd i have seen similar channels to this one acting like Russia is just a bigger Serbia .
    1
  104. I was there in 2007 it was very fun like a balkan version of italy even back then it seemed well developed .but i was not really concerned with politics back then they were not even in the eu yet and i loved the eu at the time anyway.

  105. He doesn't leave his hotel unless he wants to go to another country
    1
  106. that is like 90 million in America
    1
  107. this video is about a ww2 scenario and Ireland really doesn't want to get involved with that but the country is not very free

  108. these places are already radioactive lol especially the moon

  109.  @jancovanderwesthuizen8070  no amount of money will protect you from earthquakes or hurricanes or volcanos it may protect you from other issues that are manmade .
    1
  110. what about central African republic or south Sudan ? quite cheap or am i wrong
    1
  111. Yea the Philippines are strange they are very westernised its like the Holland of Asia they have their own languages but prefer English and only consume American media .Pilipino media is also not great its not very creative mostly copypasted American stuff.
    1
  112. sometimes it can affect your life but not much will change now
    1
  113. yea hongkong has already fallen i hope they will just get over it and leave Taiwan alone. its really hard to find the prefect country since the future is too hard to predict its the same with the Balkan looks great at the moment but nobody knows if things will keep getting more peaceful or if its going to end up like the 90s again . the west has been lucky so far most problems are coming from inside the country
    1
  114. i don't really get why the crime rates in north America are so high the American justice system seems a lot better than in western Europe (its still bad but for different reasons) .yet they have way more crime its always used as an argument against improving the justice system in Europe since it still fails in America. and how can the crime rates in American cites be higher than in most African and south Asian countries. it must be some strange cultural quirk i would say most of the western hemisphere is bad when it comes to crime.
    1
  115. if you add the ww3 scenario there wont be a lot of countries left and wokness is not the only bad thing i don't really want to move to Afghanistan since you can get into trouble for religious reasons instead and some countries have high poverty or other issues without the ww3 scenario you have way more options
    1
  116. yea i think its guys that don't want to learn another language and think Ireland is still like in 1970 and too afraid of spiders for Australia or newzeland
    1
  117. don't
    1
  118.  @alaskanwhiskey  Just go to other eastern European countries like poland
    1
  119. I think this time way less countries will do it this time. in 2020 there was a lot of fear these days it is not seen as a big deal anymore. only countries with certain politics like Canada or Australia will do it .and maybe countries like japan where people are paranoid about diseases but maybe they will finally overcome their fear
    1
  120. i am more concerned about the far left since they are more mainstream in the west but it seems like nobody actually cares about freedom anymore just political dogma
    1
  121. Guyana or Belize maybe ? but spanish is quite easy
    1
  122.  @stfustfu1  just look at what the new president of Brazil is doing. and what has been going on in Argentina.
    1
  123. i can see why left wing people want to leave the us since the welfare system is one if the worst in the developed world .i have noticed that some Americans moved to my country because they lived in a trailer park and couldn't afford medicine and college and life is just way better here for these people. but the article mentions "ultra wealthy" democrats so i assume that isn't the issue here its just ideological .maybe if you are impoverished or have medium income but have a chronic illness its probably a good idea to the move out of the usa to europe or some of the richer Asian or oceanic countries .
    1
  124. i don't know for sure but just searching Canada on YouTube you wont find much positive stuff i searched while logged out to make sure its not just the algorithm. usually when you search a country you only get positive results unless the country is at war or is ultra totalitarian like north Korea and a lot or the people complaining are not right wing
    1
  125. It was really bad at the start of 2022 but in the spring it was over in my country .china was still having lockdowns in the fall of that year but there were huge riots and the economy was about to collapse. since all the other countries already abolished it.
    1
  126.  @joec3703  its bad in south Korea but for different reasons brazil is actually quite similar to the us but the problem is quite different too
    1
  127. it will be a battleground
    1
  128. same problems as america and the uk but with a bad economy
    1
  129. the future is too hard to predict and a lot if the countries i like will not be neutral in this scenario while a lot of the ones i don't like will be neutral and all the things i don't like about the wont really matter .moving to these countries would be a lot of work for something that may never happen but when it does happen i wont have much time
    1
  130. not much will change anyway
    1
  131. its a main target
    1
  132. Sorry but i don't miss radio i miss a lot of things from the past but radio is just way worse than internet podcasts. most talk shows where just out of touch rich people talking about celebrity gossip. the actual music was great in the 90s but in the 2000s it became really bad but most people wanted to listen to darude standstorm or numa numa or the crazy frog. so they had to play stuff like that you only had the oldies station and the station that played classical music to enjoy if you didn't like what the big fads of the era where. there where also commercials you had to deal with you cant skip them.
    1
  133.  @celtosaxon  it depends on the country but if you live in a west european country with welfare system the only way this can happen is if you waste the money. in america you don't have a welfare system so you can go broke and not be able to afford a house because of bad luck and in many poorer countries it can be a problem too. but you do need to watch out since the cheapest neighbourhoods sometimes have issues with certain neighbours causing big problems even if the homes themselves are fine.

  135.  @jancovanderwesthuizen8070  yea but i mean how bad is the crime in south africa compared to for example Botswana or Ghana or Mali .because i know that in south east Asia there is less crime than in Europe despite the people being poorer but in the past south east Asia had way more crime than today .because they were desperate form the poverty but now this has stopped .so i wonder what its like in these African countries since i have never been to them before it seems like south Africa is the worst followed by Lesotho. but most of the continent seems to do quite well despite the poverty .but i am not sure if these stats are actually accurate.
