I don’t see any good future for my current country(India) due to many different problems.

I don’t have any motivation to continue living in this country and want to move to a developed country to have a decent Quality of Life at least. I am considering some countries in Europe because they align with what I want for a better QoL.

I am blacklisting war torn countries like the US. Also east Asia is lower priority because the work culture is as shit as India.

What country should I try to move to?

I’d rather avoid countries with at least 10 mass shootings occurring everyday.

Ireland is a decent option tho

There are about 4 more murders per 100,000 people per year in the US than in India. The 24/7 news cycle here pumps up the most outrageous and sensational events to drive engagement and get ad dollars. A tiny, tiny fraction of all murders in the US, firearms or otherwise, are “mass shootings”. Most of them are people killing or being killed in the course of petty crimes, and over 90% of them involve hand guns.

Yeah, it sucks here. Most people have heard gun shots in their city, sometimes pretty frequently. But the media presentation of gun violence in the US is a very deliberate, drastic distortion of what’s actually happening to sell ad minutes.

I mean, you’re still like 50% more likely to be murdered in the US than India, 3x more likely to be murdered in the US than in Canada, 5x more likely than in France, 8x more likely than in Germany, etc.

Ireland isn’t easy to immigrate to I would say. Its certainly possible but its one of the most expensive countries in the EU to live in, rents and the cost of living are through the roof. If you’re looking at Dublin or any other Irish city as an immigrant, you’ll need to have a high-paying job lined up for you. Its a bit more manageable to survive off of a minimum wage in the countryside, but opportunities will be limited and public transport is near non-existant.

I’m not trying to discourage you, and of course there is no country where its easy to be an immigrant, just letting you know the main obstacles. On the bright side, racism in Ireland is relatively low compared to Europe and the US, there’s a growing working class movement and its pretty safe.
