Your views pls?
I may not believe in predicting the future, but I am not blind to the current global situation. You are welcome to yours, but in my personal opinion, the US and Europe of the late 20th century are gone and gone for good. I am certainly not “giving up” on either side of the North Atlantic. I never bet against the human race when there are that many good, intelligent people involved, but that will take time, possibly quite a few years and a lot of agony.
Trust me on this, it’s always painful to watch your home nation act like a lost puppy, but it’s much worse when you are living there. From outside, in a society where people look forward to their futures with hope instead of fear, the view is still painful, but you aren’t forced to look at it every day.
So I am finishing this with something intended for those who are thinking about relocation. Get serious! If you can’t do it now, then plan for the future. Many folks spend a year or two or more before they are in a position to make the move. Others can do it in a month. It just depends on your situation. What you do not want to do is sit and stare out the window, immobilized because you hope that somehow the “old” days will return or as a result of fear or depression from current events that keeps holding you back. We may not be “captains of our fate”, but we are not galley slaves, chained to oars, unless we choose to be.
