I logged onto Imgur after not browsing it in ages. This is the first thing I see.
This really had me like:
(In all seriousness, I just went there to upload some images to host privately, as that's the only reason why I keep it around, but my eyes wandered.)
What parallel reality do libs live in where you can emigrate at the drop of a hat. It's a long, arduous, dog-shit process, and that's if you're a cishet white yuppie! God help you if you're not.
The reality is that it's the same people posting the same shit every 4 years.
Judging by the ancient meme, this guy was probably posting about wanting to leave the country if Romney became president.
It's hilarious how Americans think they can simply move to any other country at the drop of a hat. It's easy for us to VISIT most other nations, but permanently moving is a time consuming process in which you have to prove to have some sort of value to their economy. The only shortcuts are marriage or dual citizenship from birth. Or shitloads of cash to bribe your way in. The majority of people who vowed to move to Canada when Trump took office would be rejected, and that's one of the easier nations to emigrate to.
If an American wants to move to where I live they need to have a job here in advance that either pays USD 70.000 a year or that is on a list of jobs with a labour shortage. Applying alone will cost a USD 1000 fee and they will also need to pay a deposit for mandatory language lessons that they will lose of they don't pass the exam. On top of that comes the significant expenses that comes with moving to another country.
Just moving somewhere else is only an option for those Americans who would be unaffected or benefit from a more authoritarian regime.
I've noticed an increase in Americans around Melbourne lately tbh. Several with the same person always talking like they barely know each other and are trying to get to know each other. Maybe sham marriages are up?
Makes me think of the astroturfing kicked off on Imgur at the start of the Russia-Azov War.
Happens every election season
The place is a shitpile these days
Most of the normie internet is sadly
there is no level of fascism that liberals cannot acclimate to
Lena Dunham specifically
"I'm not gonna do anything at home to instill meaningful changes, I'll just simply keep voting and if home becomes too uncomfortable for me, I'll flex my social mobility and leave!"
~The liberal
Nobody else in the world wants you because wherever you go you dumbass liberals will be a net increase to the right everywhere in the world.
Every country be like "I'm low on citizens who leave at the first sign of inconvenience, of course I'll let OP in".
It's like an alternate reality, even more out-of-touch Reddit
wow I haven't seen that damn bear in so long
motherfcuker if I could leave I would already be gone
Many of them can't either, but the ones that could still wont...
2016 nostalgia is the most cringe form of nostalgia
I remember a community college professor I had who used to joke about this in 2016.
But I thought the libs were going to #ruthkanda #resist, you mean to say the were lying about taking any action outside of a ballot box?
Stay in your country and fix it.
the year is 2016, forever and ever and ever
If Trump get back into office, I think I may permanently leave this country
Why haven't you?
And go WHERE??? lol
Like you'll have a choice
Imgur is the place where all the people too liberal and braindead for reddit went.
Thanks, Obama!
The fact that there is a community of people who use imgur and posters on it is one of the most deeply cursed bit of internet knowledge. It would kind of be like if people were still using Digg now.
Wow it must be nice to have the luxury to just flee the country, boy I wish I could.
At this point where's even the place to flee?
I'd love to live in Vietnam, beautiful country and there's an expat community, granted it's mostly boomer though so it'd probably be hell.
I've been looking into what it would take to move to China. There's probably better places to live in 2024 but at their current rate by 2050 it'll be a fantastic place to live.
The EU or Switzerland
I think my mom's citizenship can get me into Russia? 🤔
99.9% of the people who post this rhetoric have zero serious intentions of moving to a different country (this goes for conservatives who say the same thing). It’s just another form of “the sky is falling!”
