    Some time ago, I saw a YT video where some guy said that he loves Italy, but Italy doesn’t love him back. For a long time, he tried to keep is YT business in Italy, but the system just made it impossible, so he had to move. A tragic story.

      Tell it to the migrants who walked to the US from south America with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

    Same goes for fandoms/communities: You can still like a community despite not interacting with it.

    Yes because the Spanish government kept saying I was an “illegal immigrant” and I had “overstayed my visa.”

    I’ve spent much of my adult life being transient, going to where I find work. It’s given me the ability to see interesting places, but rarely to know them deeply. There have been places I wanted to stay. Good community, good support networks. I loved the place, but struggled to find work. I left. It isn’t always great but I was used to moving.

    I can’t imagine what it is like for immigrants traveling longer distances than me. Just for work and a better life. I believe they are leaving good communities and support networks not just for work, but for bigger reasons than I can really understand. How awful to get to a place and find it to be hateful towards them but have no immediate option to leave. It shouldn’t be that way.
