Where would you rather live?

[OtterMan68]

A country with low wages, low prices, clean subways, but no freedom of speech, press, or assembly

A country with a Bill of Rights, high wages, higher prices, but subways aren't as clean and safe

[Anonymous]

Did not Tucker say he would rather live in the USA for all the same reasons in the same video?

Tucker's point was some of our own cities have a problem if even Moscow looks better than they do.

[JacobJordan]

1st option. Been to several countries that fit that description and they are far better than the USA and they treat people with respect

[BoopBoopBeep]

Yet... you remain here...

[JacobJordan]

@BoopBoopBeep in Europe yes lol you thought you were saying something despite having been very public with the fact I do not live in the US anymore. Yes I maintain my citizenship so I can abuse the tax system.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@jacobjordan
Your profile says US. Your actions say parasite. If it's so bad here you don't need the luxury of our tax code... if you can call it that. You want a country to treat you with respect but don't treat it with respect. How do you not see the irony?

[JacobJordan]

@BoopBoopBeep welcome to the reality of wealthy people lol. America has a horrible tax system that is incredibly easy to exploit. Hell every foreigner that goes to the US abuses the tax system and then bails once they have the money they want. Many even get permanent visa'a so they can continue to profit off the tax system. Only via the US tax system could I turn owing the irs money into the irs owing me money. Who said anything about wanting the US to treat me with respect? The US is falling apart. It is the laughing stock of the world. Even 3rd world country inhabitants don't want to live in the US. I was born in the US, I grew up their, I made my money their and then I left. Why would I or anyone want to remain in the US when we can get the exact same benefits for a fraction of the cost elsewhere. I still own a lab in the States as well because it is beneficial to have one their. It is better to have one in France or Germany of course and I do have one in France but until I can get citizenship I have to use an auxiliary (someone who owns it on my behalf) that lab gets way more money than the US one because the US loves throwing funds at foreign labs.

[BoopBoopBeep]

You said in your very first post a country "respecting you"... whatever that means... is important to you.

It is a true shitehole here. That's why so many people keep sneaking across the border to get out of it.

[JacobJordan]

@BoopBoopBeep I didn't say respecting me. Should read it again. Yes you like so many other dimwitted people immediately presume that because people are sneaking across the border the US must be a desirable country and yet you fail to understand that while the US is not great it is better than some countries and worse than many others. But I know you aren't looking to understand via logic so I'll do you one better. Here are 2 countries that I have recently visited that have the exact same freedoms as the US and here are some notable differences. Romania and the Republic of Moldova. Could be argued they are the same country as they used to be joined. But the price of things in romania is roughly 25% of the cost they are in the US and yet you get the same or more for that price. A large bottle of water is less than a dollar same quality more resource. In moldova a 5 gallon bottle of water is maybe 2 dollars. The equivalent in the US is around 15 dollars 10 ish if you get the really inexpensive stuff. Cats? Priced in euros very good quality car for less than 20k euros new cars also are cheaper than they are in the States. Property? A fraction of the cost. A multi million dollar property in the US would cost a few hundred thousand. Clay, gravel, mulch, stone, bricks, lumber, tools, etc all are far cheaper and yet the same quality. And at no point are you sacrificing any freedoms. Freedom is not limited to the US despite the lie being peddled by the government and the education system

[BoopBoopBeep]

@jacobjordan Of course child. Of course.

[JacobJordan]

@BoopBoopBeep lol child? I am 39 and not stupid enough to waste my life in a country that is falling apart.

[JacobJordan]

Retired at 35 for a reason mate. Now I can just get income year after year while living a great life

[BoopBoopBeep]

@jacobjordan Yes but you're not man enough to give up the protection of your U. S. passport so however you rationalize it to yourself, nothing changes. You don't have to be a U. S. citizen to control a U. S. company. You're just another all-talk pussy that hates on the country that allows you so much. Go renounce your citizenship. You can get one in Bulgaria in no time. With your money you should be able to clear the hurdle to expedite through local investment that a great many countries offer. Of course you know that, you just choose not to. So yes. Child.

[JacobJordan]

@BoopBoopBeep why would I do that when I can continue to exploit the US tax system? And I have multiple citizenships. Until such time as a citizenship requires me to forfeit a citizenship no reason to get rid of one. With a US citizenship I can stay as long as I want in the US without having to deal with embassies. Same with moldova, romania, England, Spain, Greece etc. Permanent citizenships are a great resource to have whether you use them or not. That is called planning which is a hallmark of being an adult. Meanwhile you are trying to insult and essentially throwing a tantrum like a child. Calm down mate just cause you were too stupid to realize you are being used like so much fuel doesn't make you right lol. Don't be mad you have been exploited for 44+ years and didn't realize you could have escaped. Continue to be exploited you will be able to retire soon... maybe

[BoopBoopBeep]

@jacobjordan
I could be done tomorrow. I like what I do and I like it here, No tantrum, I just don't like hypocrites Best to you.

[JacobJordan]

@BoopBoopBeep and yet here you are getting pissy because you didn't consider that you could have done the same thing. Just because you live in the US doesn't mean the US is the best. A fantastic house in the US costs millions. A fantastic house in Eastern Europe costs 10% of that

[JacobJordan]

@BoopBoopBeep truly fascinating how from your very first message you been all kinds of offended and making hilarious assumptions about someone you know very little about.

[OtterMan68]

so security is more important to you than freedom

[JacobJordan]

Lol what kinda crack are you on? Freedom exists in over 100 nations. The US isn't special when it comes to freedom lol. Be quiet boy

[JacobJordan]

Also top 10 freest countries on earth the US doesn't even make the list. The US is the 17th freest country lol being bested by countries like Finland, Luxemburg, Estonia, Ireland, Japan, Denmark, Sweden, New Zealand, Taiwan etc. The absolute delusion to think that the US is the only country with freedom 🤣🤣 you Americans need help so damn badly.

[supercutebutt]

All MAGA types need to move to their beloved Russia ASAP. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones to get poisoned?

[monorprise]

@supercutebutt
Perhaps you should watch what he actually said rather than blindly believe what his enemies said he said.

Assuming of course you actually want to know and are not simply trolling.

[supercutebutt]

@monorprise Everybody is laughing at Fucko Carlson. He made himself look like an out-of-touch fool. All of you lunkheads are trying to save face now that you were reminded how awful Russian leadership is when Navalny was murdered like a day after idiot Carlson interviewed that monster.. Question Putin and expect to get murdered.

Stop defending Satan. It makes you look incredibly ridiculous. Nobody takes you seriously.

[monorprise]

@supercutebutt
The fact that Putin is a monster does not change the fact that you need to understand his motivations and arguments for doing what he does.
Navalny death along with his prior compete inability to challenge Putin for power just makes the need to learn what Putin and those around him think as unavoidable as they are non-replaceable.

Laugh at Tucker Carlson all you want but he did give us an opportunity to hear Putin's side of the story, true or not, honest or not those who watched learned something in which there are clues how to manage Putin better.

For example Putin's historic claims on the Ukraine clearly indicate a desire to preserve Ukrainian lives as he see the people as his own. This changes the tactical situation and suggest clearly demonstrating the free will of that part of the Ukraine would undermine Putin's case for war.

Anther example Is Putin's case for seeing NATO as a threat by being excluded from it and any defense aspect thereof even as all his neighbors were invited into it as if to be a alliance against Russia. Its hard not to see that Putin is correct in that this is easy to draw conclusion and he has used that to unite the people behind him behind the cause of preventing further NATO expansion into strategically valuable territory.

This of course was the real reason for the innovation of the Ukraine, and while Putin may have had other reasons its hard to see him getting enough Russians to agree with carrying this out had that not been the case.

So by merely inviting Russia into NATO and working with them as potential allies we would have made it politically impossible for Putin to convince enough people in Russia to do theses things.

Again theses are the things you learn when you actually listen to people.

[supercutebutt]

@monorprise All of what you posted has been obvious for two decades. Conservatives have always boasted about Reagan helping to break up the Soviet Union. Now conservatives want to help Putin put it back together? It makes no fucking sense.

[monorprise]

@supercutebutt
Letting Russia join NATO rather than excluding them as if to make it an alliance against them is not helping Russia rebuild the USSR but annexing all of it into a new alliance for peace.

Stop it with this nonsense propaganda and use your head to actually think about the effects of the proposals. If you did that you might actually see how they advantage you.

[BootsLover94]

The one with more freedom and I make more money duh lol

[Fireguy17]

I don't use a subway, for some odd reason they don't build them out in the country.
But I will take freedom any day.

[JacobJordan]

You can't get freedom in something like 108 other sovereign nations. Freedom is not specific to America despite their lies that it is

[JacobJordan]

*can get freedom

[Fireguy17]

@JacobJordan I didn't see where it was posted that only the US has freedom.
It's great that freedom it available to so many other people, it would be nice if everyone could partake in enjoying their freedom that so many other countries have.
It was an either or question.

[JacobJordan]

Look at the pictograms for each option. Bottom option is the white house and literal US flags. Top option not 100% positive but looks like it may be England.

[Fireguy17]

@JacobJordan those are just stock pictures, they could have used any pictures.
I have the freedom to go by what is written, but you have the freedom to go by the pictures, that is what freedom is all about

[JacobJordan]

There are around 100 nations on earth with freedom many of them have better freedom than the US. As of day a sum total of around 50% of the earth ranks as free.

[Fireguy17]

@JacobJordan and that is a good thing

[JacobJordan]

Indeed if my understanding of the various reports was correct there are a handful of countries that would like to join the list as well. Would raise the % to about 73% of the world

[Fireguy17]

@JacobJordan
And?

[JacobJordan]

That would see there being more of the earth that one could travel too and live in

[RebelinSteel]

One where there are not mass shootings, where it’s a democracy, and a few other things.

[DryGermanGuy]

Exactly. Option number three.

[JacobJordan]

There are around 100 other nations that offer the exact same things as the states minus the bullshit. Also you get paid better and the cost of living is cheaper and you don't have to deal with shitty people unless you want to. Some are 2nd world countries some are 3rd world countries and some are 1st world countries the US likes to brainwash people into thinking things are worse outside the US. Have been living outside the US for several years and things are far better outside the US than they are inside the US. Of the countries I have been too maybe 2 or 3 are worse in certain areas

[Flatmanlewis]

I mean, given these two options, I guess I’d make the pick I made but I feel like there are options 3-10 still.

[exitseven]

I never take the subways. They have been know to catch on fire lately. I will go with number two though.
