Time to bash Americans again
-
I always thought expats had to live in little expat communities, keeping themselves aloof from the rest of the population. It's a level of snobbery beyond even still caring where you're originally from. That was my understanding from all the little compounds I saw in the global south.
We should call them extracts and their communities "extractor communities"

For those unaware, an expat is an immigrant, but white.
For those unaware, an expat is an immigrant, but white and racist.

Who the fuck emigrates to Europe as a hardcore American fascist? Seriously? What the actual fuck?
We have plenty of fascists here. It's not like the US have a monopoly. We don't quite let them run the show yet, but we're certainly working on it.

Maybe for a specific job? Booking.com used to heavily recruit US talent to work in Amsterdam. It was usually only for a few years at a time, though, in accordance with Dutch labor and immigration laws.
Not for years and years. Most of the booking.com staff is remote. All the senior staff is outsourced now too and very little is in Amsterdam. If you get a job there, word to the wise, don't compliment the one lady's chickens, she gets big mad.

Lily (MAGA)
expat in Amsterdam
Can someone tell this bitch to go back to where she came from?
Not an expat, an immigrant. I hate the term expat.

Yeah, but a really big part of the MAGA platform is hating on the "communist" and "woke" "yuropoors". She must really really hate it here.

Europe has gangs and guns and whatnot. But people have more to lose I think. Something like that. Better education maybe?
Could be way better here as well
Hardened criminals have access to firearms but they tend to be expensive and difficult enough to get a hold of that you don't waste them on holding up a 7-11.
But angry children and adults who just want to hurt people generally don't.
It is why gun control works. It isn't about getting rid of ALL guns. It is about reducing their number so that people don't realize a year later that five of their ar-15s are missing

They come here to spread their culture, their ideology of violence and intolerance.

Spreading the plague, as insects are wont to do.
As an American, I would like to apologize profusely for the rank idiocy of my fellow citizens.

The difference is that while we may have several fascists here, unlike in the US the majority are not fascists.

Also insane because I’m willing to bet she grew up and went to school in the era before we militarized our schools

As an American, please enthusiastically tell any American that tries to do this to fuck all the way off and go back to our own shitty country. I don’t want us fucking up your continent too.

I mean some people typically called immigrants do that too

As a Canadian, I would very much like some sort of barrier between my country and the United States. We've got our own brand of crazy up here and have absolutely no need to import any junk from the USA.

Build a wall, make the USA pay for it

More chill, probably.
Unchecked capitalism of this degree is a stressful world to live in and it drives people insane. Fear and hate not only breeds mass shooters, it makes your random Joe shoot PoCs, delivery guys or really everyone stepping on their lawn. And it's not racism or some other kind of hatred alone. It's a general fear that EVERYTHING entering your comfort zone is there to fuck you over. And in the US they aren't totally wrong, because many things we find normal in Europe, like affordable healthcare, insurance, education, etc - are traps constructed to drink you empty, not to say about how many real scams flourish there. They are in a fight or flight mode like 24/7, so it's no wonder they shoot on sight and cheer to bigotry.
Meme/anecdote: many european listeners of Cool Zone Media podcasts were confused, while visiting US of how many advertisements to buy gold deposits were in automatic ads while there, and how agressive they were. In a sense, gold investments is a panic button you press when you gamble on everything else going down. And this particular scam, the popularity of crypto, and the power of rabid christian sects kinda says a lot about how secure regular folks feel.
I've never been to the US, so it's all built on assumptions and hearsay.
