(In all seriousness, I just went there to upload some images to host privately, as that's the only reason why I keep it around, but my eyes wandered.)

Wow it must be nice to have the luxury to just flee the country, boy I wish I could.

At this point where's even the place to flee?

I'd love to live in Vietnam, beautiful country and there's an expat community, granted it's mostly boomer though so it'd probably be hell.

Extremely beautiful area. Just not sure I could handle the humidity.

and scared of what the area will look like when seas rise

maybe aim for hanoi yeah... I had no idea HCMC was sinking...

lets just say I still would have more faith in vietnam handling sea level rise than say, florida, and I don't think northern vietnam is at risk of wet bulb temps any time too soon, but it would still be hot and humid for a westerner

The EU or Switzerland

Fat chance with Switzerland.

It's one of the most expensive countries on the planet to live in. For example, rents in the cities are comparable to Washington D.C. and Vancouver, and other living expenses aren't cheap either.
The right-wing SVP (racist/isolationist much like Trump) has been the majority party for decades. Hostility against foreign people is high, and immigration is the main scapegoat.
Competition on the housing market is extremely high and there are usually dozens of people registering for any given apartment viewing. You'll also be competing with the rest of Europe, especially Germany, France and Italy.

Don't even bother if you haven't got a really well-paying job lined up.

I think my mom's citizenship can get me into Russia? 🤔

99.9% of the people who post this rhetoric have zero serious intentions of moving to a different country (this goes for conservatives who say the same thing). It’s just another form of “the sky is falling!”
