Zone1 American after living abroad

[Blaster]

I love that he is not partisan, he is not "right" or "left" and he points out things from both sides that are wrong with the country.

Much of what he said is why the wife and I will be expats starting the month we retire.

Don't let the door slam you in the ass on your way out.

Why do you always assume, incorrectly, what people do without actually knowing? You do realize that, making judgements without knowledge is the major characteristic of a bigot.

You either did not watch the whole thing or your are dishonest about what was in it, I was just trying to give you the benefit of the doubt.

The entire video is a Democrat propaganda piece. If you think there is something I missed, go ahead and quote that part. Paraphrase and tell me at which time, point, in the video I must see and then we can have a discussion.

Starting at 8:22 he goes after the Woke Culture and the US obsession with pronouns and not knowing what a woman is. Is that a Dem talking point?

At 10:46 he goes after our celebrity culture, do you think this is a Dem talking point?

At the 19 minute mark he goes after fake news, attacking all news outlets for being worthless. Is this a Dem talking point?

The video is a lie, it is not made by one man living abroad.

And you can prove this?

I know many people who live overseas. Would they all come to the USA. Heck no. Most people prefer where they are born, where they have family and friends.

I do see the leftist marxist propaganda that this film, is, taught across the world. It is really sad that people are so cynical with their view. That people have such tunnel vision.

The first red flag, is the man does not state his name nor does he tell us where abroad he is living. Did he live in one place, or does he travel with a NGO, a non-governmental agency. Where is, how is he making a living? It is obviously some sort of activisms.

I guarantee he does not live where the picture or video of him is being shot.

www.tripbitten.com is his website. He travels with his wife. It would be nice to know how he is rich enough to travel and not have to work.

Now I have looked at the website

Seems he is very well off, who can afford a university and then upon graduating, begin traveling? No student debt? And the money to travel internationally?

when I graduated from university, I jumped on a plane to see this amazing world my father told me about when I was a child

From the website, speaking of his parents or maybe Americans in general. Miguel states we in America live in a small bubble? He obviously disagrees with America being the greatest country in the world.

I will state, it is MIguel, who knows nothing of America. It is Miguel who has not lived and worked in the USA as an adult, on his own, without being supported by Mommy and Daddy. His entire view is from his socialist upbringing at the University. It would be nice to know which one.

They are happy to live in a world that tells them they are number 1 and that America is the greatest country in the history of the world. They buy into this nationalistic world view and are happy to live in a very small bubble.

So, he talks about the woke culture and how this is a waste of time when math should be taught. The democrat's ultimate plan is to destroy the USA and our government so they can build a new society, a Marxist society.

The parallel I saw in the video is the elephant in the room. Miguel is a Marxist hence the points I saw that related to the Democrat party was Marxist propaganda.

Miguel and his wife from the Netherlands live and work in Marxist China. To live and work in Communist China, and be allowed the freedom to travel freely you must join the Chinese Communist party.

Who made this video that is disparaging and critical of the USA and our government. It is the Chinese.

Marxist propaganda, which is a little different than Democrat propaganda.

Golfing Gator, you should move to marxist china and live with Miguel.

Actually the wife and I are going to move the free country of Panama when we retire to get away from the obsessive government you and those like you one both sides are pushing for.

Then a few years of living there we might just move again, it is a big planet out there, why limit yourself to one location for the rest of your life.

This constant rant that your opponents are wrong and you are right is immature at best and certainly not a discussion.

The video is a lie, it is not made by one man living abroad. It is a political propaganda production that this man makes money from. This is a professional activists profiting from political propaganda. That is the first big lie, "I am a simple man living abroad which allows me to see the truth"

The man dictates he is right and we are wrong because he is the one living abroad?
Where does he live?

No it isn't, there are many videos and people on the likes of YouTube that balance the country they moved to to the US. Look up Amanda Rae as an example, living in the UK from the US.

There are videos too for Brit expats living abroad, but as it's an American forum, I chose a relevant vid for my op. If you think your home country is perfect on everything, then there lies the problem.

I lived in Brazil over 5 years.

I lived in Mexico 1 year.

Panama, a good friend of mine opened a bar and small hotel on an Island in Panama. The Pickled Parrot.

He also started a business there bringing purified water to the people resulting in a 60% reduction in children being hospitalized getting sick drinking bad water.

If you are thinking you are escaping a repressive government you will find, everywhere else is worst.

20 years ago that was a true statement, not any longer and even less so no matter who wins the White House in 2024.

If you read all my posts you will find I am right.

I did say, we are not the best that we could be, but we are by far the best country in the world.

What you shared here is Chinese Marxist anti USA propaganda piece.

 

[MarathonMike]

He makes some good points. Sadly, we're past the point where anything will change. We now have to manage our decline and ultimate destruction.

I don't know if it's irreversible, but The Regime has pushed the US to the brink for sure.

 

[elektra]

The Democrats have given the Communist Chinese much ammunition to attack us with. Is it intentional?

This OP is based on a video made by the Communist Chinese government.

 

[Woodznutz]

Our future depends on the character of the people, not the character of the government. The government can lead us to foul water but can't make us drink it.

Keep in mind.......

In the 1920s Europe began the process of registering, banning and confiscating guns in their countries.

In 1939, 19 years later, the socialists began murdering 15-20 million men, women and children. 6 years. 1939-1945. It was only stopped when Americans with guns made them stop.

Gun murder in the U.S. over our entire 247 year history......around 2,470,000.....with the vast majority of those victims being criminals engaged in crime, and their friends and family caught up in the life style of those criminals.

Europe....15-20 million murdered in 6 years after banning and confiscating guns.

U.S.......gun murder over 247 years..... 2,470,000

Meanwhile, each year, AMericans use their legal guns 1.2 million times a year to stop rapes, robberies and murder.....according to the Centers for Disease Control.....

Another thing to keep in mind?


Americans with guns have kept Europe safe from Russian expansion since the end of World War 2.......and they smugly condemn our belief in the 2nd AMendment.....

All absolute ridiculous garbage propaganda, and national socialists or Nazis are certainly not socialists, who have always wanted DEMOCRACY etc in every case in every democracy ever, the Socialists are always for Democratic fair capitalism with a good safety net. They are the people that the Nazis and Communists killed first. The Weimar Republic and Karensky, the Socialist leader of the Duma in 1917, were Socialists and were thrown out by the Nazis and Communists who call themselves national socialists and Soviet Socialists and of course are the biggest liars ever, at least until the GOP of today. Super Duper.

English propaganda has conflated socialism and communism so much that you can't have a civil conversation, so England Canada new Zealand and Australia are socialists but they have to call it labour or social democracy or green parties or DEMOCRATS or whatever. They are socialists and there is nothing wrong with socialism in practice, just in communist and Nazi theory oh and GOP theory now too.

Well, kinda had to work out which part of the forum to start this thread.

Basically, the American in this video has been living abroad for 12 years and he covers such areas as Health, Education, Guns, Freedom and so on. Actually, quite a few areas of the "US Discussion" part of the forum.

Not only I found what he had to say interesting, but also the comments. And as I read the comments, I can relate to how these match the posters comments on USMB who are from outside of America.





Now, there's a chance this thread will move from this part of the forum, but I thought it was the most appropriate place.

Would be interesting to hear what you guys think. I know that many will just diss the video without watching it, but I'm sure there should be the odd useful post.

I found his thoughts on Freedom, Health Care, and Education very interesting.

Are people actually making plans to move abroad?

Well…just look at the amount of degeneracy in the current American culture. The character of the people is degrading.

 

[Vastator]

Some do. It can be a great idea for folks wanting to retire. The purchasing power of the dollar alone, makes the idea of retiring abroad quite attractive.

Yeah, I don’t see inflation and cost of living going down in the US anytime soon. That will be a big catalyst for people retiring abroad.
