    Hey I’m fleeing the U.S. to Ireland before my Mexican wife and I get murdered by the gestapo. Wanna start up a new Bolshevik party when I get there?

      Why do Americans keep wanting to come here? There’s literally no fucking housing or jobs unless you’ve already been hired by Microsoft or Apple or something.

      Plus we are literally having racial pograms and race riots and white supremacists going out and attacking people of color for not being white every week now and it’s only getting worse.

        Honestly? Because it’s easy to move to, it’s not part of the UK, and I don’t want to dox myself too hard but it has several job openings in a pretty niche field that I can fill. Our original plan was to move to Mexico but that kind of fell through.

        Plus it’s too fucking hot and bright here.

          It literally rains every day here.

          And if you want your Mexican wife to be safe I don’t think Ireland with it’s rapidly growing Nazi problem is the best bet.

          You also will not be able to find housing. I’m not joking. The government is owned by landlords and the housing problems gets worse every year (part of why the Nazi problem is growing)

          The only reason I have housing as an immigrant is because I live with my girlfriend who is native here.

            Again, I don’t want to dox myself too badly but we’ve done the research and the problems Ireland is having are what we’re used to. We already can’t find housing and we’re already surrounded by those kinds of dudes here. Major difference is you can’t find a job in my field here and Ireland doesn’t have death camps.

              I’m not in charge of ya. If you have a good job lined up it’s not a bad idea. I’m just mad at every liberal and leftist thinking this country is some sort of paradise because they fall for the tourism propaganda

                I guess I can say this without it being too specific. With the kind of field I’m in, I can work for an Irish company that offers visa sponsorship while we’re still living here, and we aren’t going to move until we have housing confirmed. I can make enough there to still live better than here even while shelling out for rent. The medical costs are also a major factor in why we’re moving to Ireland as well.

                As far as the political situation, yes the Irish government are performative shills. But I don’t expect any government or population to get through the next five years without collapsing or becoming more socialist. Hopefully the population of Ireland has enough leftist sentiment to adapt to the changing world in the near future. If not, maybe they’ll start letting people into China for more than five years eventually. Maybe Korea will reunify and it will become more viable to move there? With how strange things are right now, who knows how things will go. One thing I do know is that I’ve been seeing the ultimate collapse of the U.S. unfold throughout my entire life. It’s now rapidly accelerating.

                  Can I talk to you more about how you started the process? Looking to move to either China or Ireland, but all my job applications get auto-rejected since I don’t have a visa. Did you get scouted by a company?

                    Yes feel free to DM me. Are you looking into companies that offer visa sponsorships? If it isn’t something you can do remotely, it’s probably a better idea to go the critical skills route if you can. If not, you can try a study visa that can turn into a work visa. I know going to Ireland to study Irish and getting a job while there is a popular option for Chinese citizens right now.

                    The main issue is, of course, housing. Make sure you can cover costs before moving.
