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 live in Europe and am thinking about leaving because of the way things are going here. I’d at least recommend picking the right European country and not one of the wrong ones (e.g. UK)

How about France or Spain? I had Germany in mind previously but they committed economic suicide.

If Germany goes down, france and spain will as well lol. Maybe like Switzerland or Ireland?

Switzerland has had the far-right in power for the last 20 years.

It’s unlikely they’ll go authoritarian, but you can certainly expect lots of racism, traditionalism, sexism, harassment, etc. from the locals.

Otoh, 25% of the population are immigrants, so odds are you’d stick around them.

Germany has actual potential unlike the UK at least. But it’s too early to see if there’s a chance they’ll go back on the American simping. IDK, there’s no right answers IMO.

You severely overestimate Germany.

Not really. Things are on a downturn, but it is hardly catastrophic. Beyond prices going up, not much has changed. Unemployment rose lightly, but it is still low.

Maybe things will turn for the worse in a few years (such as the 2008 crisis in Italy began to be felt strongly around 2011 from my experience), but for now it’s still probably a safe bet. Just do not expect El Dorado and know that the period of learning the language, getting used to the bureaucracy, etc. is rough.

Not sure currently but isn’t Spain economically depressed? Could try and work at Mondragon or something though, that’s be cool

nordics, spain france, belgium, switzerland for more laidback country, germany netherlands for more working but still relaxed. All this assumes that you can find a job and go via it.

I have been considering the Netherlands. I really like the cycling culture in Amsterdam but finding a job there would be harder.

If you can kick your accent you’ll do fine in the American Midwest, Great Lakes and south.

Disclaimer: Never been to any of these places, this is just from what I know from internet sources. I know I may be wrong about certain takes so take it as just casual conversation.

-Australia/NZ absolutely going to get fucked by climate change. People basicaly already forgot all about those forest fires. In a vaccum though seems decent. NZ seems very hard to actualy get into.

-UK/Scotland seems stupid but my thought would be get into the UK then find some way to get to Scotland, Edinburgh seems completely different from the rest of England. I could be wrong though.

-Canada because climate change is important to me so it seems they’ll suffer a lot less, also a surprisingly straight forward immigration program if you fulfill the criteria. Again I could be wrong though.

-Some points about Japan.

1)western corporations have their own work culture, its not much different from elsewhere in the world. As a foreigner you also get “special” treatment, as bad as that sound, the boss wont look down on you for leaving on time etc. Yes its kind of shitty but what are you going to do? Certainly not volunteer to do unpaid overtime out of pity!

2)The Japanese economy necessitates foreigners due to the population crash, this is unavoidable, robots shit is just copium. Housing prices are supposed to crash in the future. You get decent first world health care(though shitty doctors) and extremely easy immigration favoring native English speakers.

3)The main thing about Japan is the xenophobia, yes you must have a thick skin, but these days the west in general isn’t really looking that much better, but be prepared to have trouble renting a home or going to certain hotels etc specialy in the rural areas.

4)there is so much “foreigner in Japan” content on social media that you may find the novelty will wear out fast, but maybe that also means you can easily find answers to questions/problems you may have.

In the past I would consider Germany, Sweden, maybe France. Germany is overrated, Scandinavia is doing a fascism speedrun against immigrants and France I just don’t know much about.

I used to read the blog of a famous British lib.

Although you mention tourism, I think the majority of people never left their countries anyway, so unless you’re talking to natives you’ll just get a piece of that propaganda inevitably.

Japan is a decent option. I think that the government will start promoting immigration since the population decline will not really slow down. It’ll be easy to pull in workers from poorer countries who will work like how native Japanese people do.

Aus is fucked, NZ is one of the few places that will remain somewhat habitable at 4C (which we are basically heading for now)
