    No offense to Americans, I understand some of you are great people, but I wouldn’t need much of a reason to leave America at this point. If not for my safety, then for my sanity. If not for my sanity, then for eggs.

      Reason, sure. Ability? That’s something else. Most of us don’t have enough money to make the journey. I don’t know of many places that would even accept us as immigrants without a substantial monetary value/donation or work skill, plus the language skills we don’t have because schools don’t teach foreign languages well or at all.

      Who would even have us all?

        I assume they don’t charge you to get deported so there’s a free ticket there and I’m no geographist but there’s a couple countries that also use english as their official language

          They’re deporting us to concentration camps, not countries. They absolutely aren’t determining where you should go. Alligator Auschwitz, CECOT, the one they’re building in Guantanamo… It’s not a free ticket to another country and freedom. It’s a long road to death.

            What I’m hearing is that you get free food, no rent, and access to a closely knit community of people who have many experiences to share

            Edit: you people don’t appreciate camping and it really shows

            So stupid that it might not even be serious. I guess I need to explicitly state that people shouldn’t strive to be deported?

          And those countries won’t accept you if they think you might be a “burden” on their social services budget/infrastructure. Young, in the prime of career, in-demand skills, maybe a job offer, or just filthy rich? OK, maybe you can get in. Maybe. But if you’re older or just a regular schmuck without any family in those countries to depend on, then probably not.

        Convince your loved ones to sell all of their material belongings, announce as a group that you are a band of undocumented Romanian gypsies, get deported, arrive in Romania, hoof it to the Ukraine border and claim to be Ukrainian refugees, be accepted into the UK,

        Open the first Michelin recognized hotdog and burger food cart, sell your life rights to netflix, go back to the US with all your new money, shit in a paper bag, set it on fire, leave it on the doorsteps of people that have wronged you, go back to the UK, find out that the nearby shawarma shop has stolen your clientele, get depressed, get in a physical argument with the shawarma guys, get deported back to Ukraine,

        Channel your anger into fighting the Russians, become known as the Ukrainian ghost sniper with 420 confirmed kills, die a hero, your grandchildren try to sell your war memorabilia on the dark web for vape money, uncover your hidden past as an American, they shit in a paper bag, light it on fire, then leave it on the front porch

            The way I see it, they can say yes or no. Which is basically 50/50 so you have a 50% chance of passing this stage.

            The rest of it is easy work as long as you’re all young, fit, combat trained, able to fake at least 3 european accents, have solid bowel movements, have international underworld connections, a bit of business sense, and a small fortune in a swiss bank

                You could always switch to plastic bags instead of paper if your stool ain’t stooling but plastic is bad for the environment.

                I don’t know how you’re going to kill 420 Russians with your guitar though.
