      Would be ironic if we had to go to Africa because life there is better.

      … after decades of relentlessly repeating how much better we have it that “poor children in africa” especially.

        There’s a great show about families going there for a better life from here. It’s called coming from America. Worth a watch. Not everything is perfect there but people from here can own land and feel free.

        That’s exactly my plan C if the lunatics start WW3 suddenly.
        Reachable from Europe and less likely to explode.
        But I hope to find a perfect spot before that in an organised way.

            Imagine if Africa gets their own Frontex, start pushing our boats back, shooting and drowning us far away from prying eyes.
            “Here, have some of those European values you keep talking about!”

                If we use that analogy, they would be what Libya WAS.
                Up to then the most advanced African nation.
                Which that foaming at the mouth psychopath Hitlery made an awfully distateful joke about when they completely destroyed it and turned into a state where they literally sell slaves

        Africa is beautiful, the only issue is safety.

        Countries like namibia/botswana probably have less of these issues as well.

            There wouldn’t be any migration if Europe, which has practically nothing of what they need has been leeching on Africa, the most resourceful continent.
            You can’t compare the 2.

      Those nice people made a fascist president there not too long ago.
      (He also made sure there was a lot less forest)

        Yeah, but who doesn’t have fascists? At least they’re prosecuting theirs. Bolsonaro can’t stand for elections no more.

        So, at least they’re back to the status quo, where they destroy the planet slowly.

          True, but I was surprised tho when I first heard of him and his succes.
          “Brazil? The smiley samba sunshine people where most people aren’t even white voting for a fascist?”

            Brazil is super diverse to be fair. And it’s one the largest countries on the planet.

            I like what Gusteau from ratatouille has to say about this - “Anyone can be a facist, but only the stupidest can be great at it”

            Also Anton’s “Not everyone can become a great facist, but a great facist can come from anywhere”
