Brexit

I hate the word expat for this exact reason.

When you're overseas you're a foreigner by definition, but they see this as a dirty word.

Ridiculous.

Funny side-note, when Chinese people are overseas speaking Chinese, they refer to local people as "foreigners", which I think is an interesting language quirk. So instead of changing the words they use based on where they are (which I believe is the actual literal meaning of the word they use, "外国人" means "outside country person) they're instead using it from the perspective of someone who is outside their national identity.

Disclaimer, I do not speak a high level of Chinese.

The incredible disconnect with the expat community that they are literally immigrants in a foreign country. Don't visit the expat social groups if you don't want to be pissed off.

The only good news is that said readers are dying off due to old age.

I've been hearing this sentiment all of my 40ish years and yet here the world is.

I just read about them on Wikipedia. I wanted to see if they were a Murdoch rag and the answer is it's not owned by Murdoch but it's all the same garbage in terms of editorial content. They used to carry literal Chinese and Russian government propaganda and they almost got bought out by the UAE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Telegraph#2023%E2%80%932024_takeover_bid I hope that if they try selling again that it could be sold to someone who will turn it into an unbiased source of news.

I was happy about the GOP dying off due to old age, but then shit like PragerU created Gen Z Right Wingers....

The Telly is devoured by WHITE Brits who could never be lowly immigrants anywhere - they're colonists!

Brexit was in 2020.. Yes, it's been that long.
