    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.

        And why, pray tell, do you think these people are walking to AmeriKKKa? Which local country’s meddling in their home country’s foreign affairs destabilized their homes and forced them to leave for the nearest (relatively) stable rich nation? I’ll give you a hint: AmeriKKKa AmeriKKKa AmeriKKKa AmeriKKKa AmeriKKKa

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

    Source: me, a brony who doesn’t really interact with the community anymore but still appreciates 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.
