   You are ruining this American's fantasy version of Europe. I need to pretend there is someplace vaguely civilized in this world that I could run away to 😱

     @Mikal @sindarina oh, I can tell you now as someone who has been there and here that it’s a lot of the bad things about here, some of it worse, but with a lot more ‘but we aren’t as bad as America and how dare foreigners insinuate otherwise that we are not perfect’

     @Mikal @sindarina on the other hand you might also risk up to 18 years in jail in Italy for ‘abetting clandestine migration’ (a charge they’ve tried to get various EU citizens working on improving migrant conditions on)

     Facetiousness aside, the advantage to a lot of European (very broadly inclusive) countries are things we don't have like healthcare, efficient transit, less gun violence, and so on. If I had frictionless freedom to move, I could go to southern France or Italy and do the same migrant support work I do here, with a similar climate, but not have to worry about healthcare. So, you know, there's that.
