  • I’m extremely anti-credit. But, there are things that require you have some kind of credit score— like renting an apartment. When I was in Los Angeles, I was actually rejected from signing a lease because I had no credit. Not bad credit. None at all, which they said was actually worse, somehow.

  • Just yesterday, I read a comment that literally said Greenland doesn’t have to worry about Russia because America was the bigger threat.

    Like, yall realize Russian agents have infiltrated the US government and manipulated its election results, right?

  • You are attempting to conflate fascist leaders with the citizens that they rule over. Doesn’t make much sense. Do you believe 380 million people all think the same? Do you think we’re all equally represented by the current fascist regime?

  • and removing rights and dignity for its own citizens

    Yeah, shitty rhetoric. What our “leaders” do and what the people do are mutually exclusive. You’re still not addressing the fact that Americans have a strong history of rebellion and protest that is going to look different than the highly homogenized and concentrated countries in Europe.

  • I don’t get this rhetoric. Americans started the largest civil rights protests in human history against police brutality in 2020 with the George Floyd protests. And, it included the destruction of a police station in Minnesota.

  • Yea, I suppose it is about perspective. I started using Facebook in 2009 when I was in high school. For me, it was the same deal— finding friends, hangouts, parties, etc. and it noticeably went downhill as it became more corporate and flooded with boomers who brought a toxic culture to it, imo.

  • There is an argument to be made that fleeing anytime fascists threaten your democracy can maybe done once in a lifetime. If you happen to flee the American fascist regime to another country that collapse into fascism soon after, do you flee again? Do you finally stay and fight?

    People should make these decisions for themselves and their families.

  • I suppose the ability to rent or lease property is much easier for digital nomads than the locals. I think the definition is mostly about people who have the ability to just kind of go anywhere as their income isn’t tied to the local economy.

    But, I don’t know. Read this article and maybe it’ll make more sense:

  • Colonialism is also about displacing native/local culture which is what a lot of these digital nomads are doing. One example I’ve seen are the digital nomads trying to stop locals from walking on the public beaches in front of their properties.
