There is an American exceptionalism embedded in the idea that y'all think you can just pick up and leave and go wherever you want. It's cute you think you'd be welcomed. Americans aren't exactly popular in the world.
I will be straight up, considering the United States’ behavior towards refugees fleeing persecution, I’m not sure that Americans who try to do the same shouldn’t have their passports flagged and be asked to leave.
But ESPECIALLY if you try to flee to a country USA has interfered with.
Dear privileged white people choosing to be offended: I am the Jewish descendant of Holocaust survivors whose entire family was massacred. I only exist because 2 people managed to flee. I was taught to be prepared to leave since I was born. I'm speaking from *experience*. I want you to see reality.
yea a good chunk of my family including my grandparents fled the holocaust's leadup. They did not get to go 'hmmm I think Italy sounds nice' or whatever, it was 'fuck we gotta go get on the boat we'll figure it out'.
and hell even then I'll fully admit my grandparents were 'privileged' among that group, they were moderately well off with friends in America that helped them a lot and got my grandpa a pretty cushy and safe job! It was still 'hey those guys keep breaking our windows we gotta get the fuck out'!
