I'm not sure I'd want to go to Europe right now as a means of improving my mental health. Look at what is unfolding in France, or the far-right leaders popping up elsewhere. The US is rough but I'm hopeful we've already weathered that storm. With Russia on your doorstep too, I'd just prefer to travel elsewhere.
It’s because you’re living these events through the prism of TV News. I live in France, I was born here, I’ve lived in other countries too, but here is where I chose to stay.
I haven’t seen any of the events depicted in the news. I know bad events are taking place, I know the president and government are morons. This has zero impact on my daily life. I just mind my business and do my thing.
No Europe is uninhabitable. Americans should stay safe in their perfect utopia.
Yeah, but you can say the same thing about life in America for all the people living here and moving. It doesnt look like the grass is any greener.
Not that I have a horse in this race.
Two sayings in one comment! That's my type of lemmyer!
We haven't. Not by a long shot. We've only barely passed the "Beer Hall Putsch" phase of our descent, and we didn't even manage to arrest our Hitler. In other words, we're doing even worse than the Weimar Republic.
