idk if the “lie” claim is the best language they could have used since there seems to be a few sources supporting it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Winnie-the-Pooh_in_China
that said, obligatory fuck tankies but this is a good meme and fuck ICE.
EDIT CONTEXT: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/06/25/norwegian-tourist-jd-vance-meme/
ICE and CBP claim the guy was denied entry for drug use. I don’t fucking believe them personally after stories like Khaby Lame essentially being forced to self-deport after some racist MAGA kid decided personally getting him deported was a good move.
But u know we all about honesty in this joint so
sigh id love to move away from this fascist hell hole
what’s stopping you? I moved out of the UK after brexit.
Let me guess… you moved to another European country where you had already had free entry into.
nope. I didn’t move somewhere on the same continent, nor somewhere that I already spoke the language of, nor anywhere that I had a support network.
I arrived with a suitcase in my hand and a dream in my heart.
cats, fear of travel, ahdh/autism/bpd/mental health, family ties, money to travel (also being trans i wanted to go to scotland until you know) and i like a place that’s much different than america and my pre transition self, culturally
fair reasons. I hope that you can get some help to manage these issues alongside the everything else that’s going on
Oh I know. Don’t blame you for no longer wanting to be a neighbor to TERF HQ.
ireland is still on the list though! and Norway or denmark i finally went on a trip with my mum overseas to inverness/nairn in 2023 and loved it though!
Lack of privilege
… have you known migrants in your country to be privilaged? Usually racists are mad that a bunch of poor people are “coming” to their country, while some migrants are upper class, the majority are not.
Immigrants, in the modern age, are very much often privileged. Most countries won’t accept unskilled migrants, or the disabled. Yes, they are not usually upper class, but being able to afford university-level education in a lot of places isn’t easy.
Asylum seekers are the exception there, obviously. THOSE are the ones racists talk about being a “problem” most often, at least in places like Europe and Australia.
there is an inherent privilege if you’re able to leave.
not saying you’re rich or powerful. just that there’s indeed a self descriptive privilege if you an escape. unlike those who can’t.
More than the ones who don’t make it
Work, family, language, money. There can be many reasons.
most of those reasons usually do not stop migrants. But I am asking them specifically to find out if it is a reason like that.
literally false lol, especially the money thing. the wealth gap of my country is so intense few have the privilege of cash to uproot their entire lives, much less even afford the plane ticket.
Curious, where did you move?
There’s a lot involved with moving out of the US. The easiest route is Canada. But trying to move to Europe is a uphill battle unless you’re a skilled worker. Even worse in Asia, where unless you’re there with a suitcase of money, you’re probably going to be working from the ground floor.
Wife and two kids here, and I am looking for options but every where seems difficult.
LATAM’s most liberal country. I wish you all the best, moving with kids probably makes this shit much harder. Although to give you hope, I migrated with my dad when I was 9, but he was settled in the UK before I moved to join him, and it wasn’t too bad. You and your family may need to do something similar.
Best of luck.
What is LatAm’s most liberal country?
