Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

If you are born in a small country, you're stuck in a small geographic area out of a massive world. I mean sure you can travel, but its really hard to permanently move somewhere unless you have special skills or something.

If your country goes through autocratization, you kinda fucked.

I wish the future just have one "Worldwide Schengen".

I mean, right now we have: visas, passports, citizenships, like wtf. So tribalistic...

When it comes to immigration in the US I feel the exact same way. As some privileged pasty white guy born here I just couldn’t give a rat’s ass if someone crosses the imaginary line illegally. Sure, if they commit a crime they might have to go to jail — but the way the current regime I mean administration is handling things is way off base.

I bring all this up because I kind of thought most of the left here thought the same way as I did but I’ve seen over the past couple years that even my side of the political aisle is in support of fucking over immigrants too.
