Russians to Kazakhstan? Is this voluntary emigration?

    Fun little triangle there between Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

    I like looking at these kinds of maps and finding the stable spots.

    Norway -> Denmark -> Sweden -> Norway is one.

    There's also Switzerland -> France -> Switzerland.

    The UK escapes being part of one of those cycles by choosing a country that's off the map as their escape.

    Fuck Germany. I'm German. Honestly don't go there if you have better choices. Not because I don't want you here, you're more than welcome. Because you'll get milked. Germany is impoverishing your country with all sorts of tricks. Look back at the Euro crisis and what we did with Greece. Look at their massive export surplus which basically means we're exporting deindustrialiuation to you. Look at what we did with the former GDR. Fuck Germany and their capitalist class.

    This makes me wonder how does the graph diagram wind up looking like. Most nodes seem to end in a Germany-Switzerland-France loop

    And then there's the edge case of England going literally outside of the continent, with Australia

    Right, I keep forgetting Russia is still partly in Europe

    Some countries like Turkey are part of both Europe and Asia on technicalities. They straddle the border so they get to be part of both.

    Then there's Russia, where the population is mostly in Europe, but the land is mostly in Asia.

    The European part of Turkiye is still about twelve million people as well, it's not like Russia but it is still a pretty substantial number of people. It'd be the 12th-most populous country in Europe if it was independent

    Oddly enough, so is Kazakhstan! By most definitions of the Asia-Europe border, Kazakhstan has a chunk on the European side that's actually still bigger than most European countries

    Most well educated young adults who emigrate do so for better wages. Shocker.

    A bit too popular, as all the culture clash & other associated problems are giving right-wing extremists ammunition for their bullshit. At least so it seems to this distant American who lived there for several years decades ago.

    Edit: sorry for my uninformed guess. I honestly have only very loosely paid attention to what's going on over there as there's more than enough BS at home drawing my attention. I just hate to hear of my favorite childhood place having similar problems.

    IME, people from slavic countries aren't really responsible for most of the culture clashes. Far-righters are mostly complaining about muslims and black africans, i.e. groups that are much more visible and far more culturally different.

    Also, I'm not a fan of appeasement. IMO few would care about the far right if people didn't have to deal with more tangible issues like absurd real estate prices, declining quality of social security systems + healthcare and the national government's brazen corruption. Plus, massive online propaganda.

    Good point. I'm only loosely aware of what's going on over there, and honestly haven't really put much thought into it. I just hate to see yet another piece of cherished childhood memories going down the tubes.

    This is why they call Aussies, crazy sunny Brits.

    Ah all those young European English people emigrating to Australia.

    We left. Please exclude us from this sort of European nonsense.
