      We have plenty of fascists here. It’s not like the US have a monopoly. We don’t quite let them run the show yet, but we’re certainly working on it.

        Yeah, but a really big part of the MAGA platform is hating on the “communist” and “woke” “yuropoors”. She must really really hate it here.

      Could be a military member stationed there. A guy I work with is one of those 4chan “libertarians” and had nothing but “horror stories” about living in Germany. Same guy is terrified to venture into the local major metropolitan area or take the light rail system.

        Core memory unlocked: Looking at a store called “Expat store” or something in that vein in Den Haag as a little boy, asking my parent what “expat” is. “That’s an American immigrant.” “So, why are they not just an immigrant?” “That way they feel better about themselves.”

        I only just realised how based my parents are.

      Their Insta now says they’ve moved back to the States permanently. And also that their pronouns are they/them, which is super baffling next to “MAGA.”

    After columbine my school banned all black clothing. And forbid boys picking up sticks in case we used them to pretend they where weapons.

    “Expat” is my favourite dog whistle. Because “migrant” is only used for brown people, or other undesirable minorities for racists.

      I hate the word for the reasons you’ve said, but I know a lot of black Americans in Portugal that refer to themselves as expats.

      Feels to me that the line is drawn along economic privilege lines rather than simply race.

    This was a troll account. It was a Dutch guy pretending to be MAGA to point out how arrogant Europeans are. He succeed thoroughly
