This is exactly what we are doing with my family, moving from the west to the south east... Europe. Not sure we can win this battle here in the west where our opinion on matters has drastically drifted in the last 2-3 years compared to the majority of the population (almost everyone we speak to).

I wish you and yours the best, Nikolay.

This shift is a curious one, for I doubt that something of this magnitude would have been that easily (swiftly) done in the absence of 2+ years of Covid mindfvckery.

The same thing is starting to happen here in Sweden; there is a small but growing exodus to Romania, Hungary, Poland and the Baltic states.

For the obvious reason that they do not let in millions of moslems.

Well, at the risk of spilling some beans, one of the key reasons to do so--and that 'r/exodus' actually predated 'Covid', or the breakthrough of Wokery, for that matter--is that if you come to 'the West' and don't move into high-paying jobs directly, your life will be ┬▒ the same in terms of long-term prospects as back home (even though there's probably more to do back home).

One of the key issues most (upper-) middle-class Westerners don't 'get' is this: if you, say, drive a bus 'back home', and if you do the same in 'the West', you won't achieve anything. You'll always struggle to make ends meet, and the reason behind this is: the utter contempt most middle-class Westerners have for those who service them and make 'the West' work, sort-a.
