Ask Lemmy

I mean unless their original country was fascism x2, then, reducing fascism by half doesn't seem that bad anymore.

Seriously tho, you think you find a bad enough country, then you look deeper, there's a country even worse. Then just as you think you found the worst country, there's still an even worse country, like there are more thsn 200 of them (including unrecognized ones) and you can almost certaintly keep finding worse and worse countries, you never know where someone is from.

Immigration is always a scale of balance: How much does the situation becomes less shitty vs how much xenophobia you'll face. Sometimes, if the xenophobia isn't that strong at the time of you deciding to move, so you can still have more to gain from the country being less shitty than your previous one, despite having to deal with racism.

There are not really many "good" countries, mostly it's just: shitty countries vs less shitty countries.

Edit: And if its a bad country vs worse country sceanrio, I think people would just "take the oath" symbolically, but never actually intended to fullfill the actual obligation to the dictator or whatever.

Edit 2: Or you could be in a Snowden-tyoe situation. I mean... the US was after him... Snowden then became a citizen of russia, but I doubt he actually cares about loyalty to putin.

Sometimes a country isn't fascist until it is though.
