I hope everyone who’s like ‘let’s all move to Portugal etc’ thinks about the impact of what they do

These expats are also very upset when the local population no longer treats them as gods (there used to be far more ‘white worship’ a while ago). Now people are like, oh, poor white people are here to take our housing and they don’t have jobs beyond being YouTube influencers and teaching English badly
(The whole why expats not immigrants thing is also weird. You can’t exactly be an immigrant imho if you move to a country that will never give you permanent residency or citizenship)
I have to say it’s a giant WTF moment when you go to Bangkok and you see a young American or European person sitting with a begging bowl asking for locals to fund their travels. Literal begging bowl. Just utterly disrespectful and gross. Not even a rare sight.
