What they want is to kill us. Turning the other cheek just makes it easier. Did you see the extremely publicized response of the man whose wife got killed? His child will grow up without a mother and his reaction is to pretend he is living in some sort of fucking Hollywood movie. And this is lauded and aplauded. "I will not give you the gift of my hate", it's pathetic. How many more families have had a completely different and justified reaction of hatred and loathing for the assholes who murdered their loved ones? Why aren't those responses publicized and published and lauded? Doesn't fit with the apathetic, passive reaction narrative that should be addopted, apparently. Do you really think daesh's main goal is to get westerners to hate them (as if we needed any more reasons) so there can be a game of 11th dimensional chess where this somehow makes daesh stronger? How many times must they clearly state their intentions, how many more dead before these idiots blinded by childish disney level reasoning open their eyes? "Violence never solves anything, it's because of (our) violence that daesh exists in the first place, what we need is MORE tolerance and love and multiculturalism".
These muslim extremists are insane, they truly think they will fulfill some sort of apocalyptic prophecy if the countries and cultures they loathe and attack relentlessly finally do what they should have done years ago, and your response is to go "We shouldn't completely obliterate these backwards pieces of shit, this is exactly what they want". Yes, because they think they're protected by divine providence and fate, that if the west invades them it will end up in the west's destruction. And you take these delusions seriously? It's time to give them exactly what they want. Let them face armies instead of slaughtering defenceless civilians. What do you idiots think, that if we put boots on the ground daesh will somehow come out victorious? Same thing will happen as always happens whenever these pieces of shit come up against the armies of modern western nations. They will just turn their hatred inward and go for easier targets, as happened in Iraq and Afghanistan. Western hatred or lack thereof is completely irrelevant, they don't need the actions of "crusaders" to galvanize their own hatred, "tolerance and understanding" will not disarm them of it. There's more than enough reasons and justifications of their own agency. The planet does not revolve around us, not everything that happens is a "reaction" to us.
teeth's heart. well there's no civilization but a witty one liner such as "ur a fga". or you could go for oberyn's one, the witty one liner is replaced by stuff like

No particular place for me draws my attention as a place to stay but I'd like to visit a lot of different places.
I thought birds flew around everywhere.
Tough decision, gonna have to make it during the next years, again... :)
(for those who don't know: I moved from Germany to Paraguay couple years ago, so I know that process already, incl. faulty expectations and the side effects of tropical paradises... ;-) )
Tropical gets annoying after some time (fucking heat/humidity makes you dumb, well, at least me), but has a lot of advantages...
Too little infrastructure/civilization has many advantages, but is kinda annoying as well or requires serious effort (complete off-the-grid stuff incl. power generation etc.pp.)
Also: shitty ping. IKR.
On my list: Belize, Dominica, Colombia, Costa Rica, but: I have to check out a few "moderate" places as well, to see how that sort of climate/vegetation feels after 6 years in the humid subtropics... so US is an option as well.
Might have to shave though, heard they are a bit touchy with bearded "terrorists" and I don't care much about that usual "experimental" interrogation stuff....
Friends of mine are pushing me to check out Bali... hmmm... sounds pretty decent with lots of alternative infrastructure, healthy food, yoga retreats and whatnot, but somehow Asia has never "called" me.
We'll see.
Anybody else here already an expat or living "digital nomad" lifestyle?
Somewhere that is ice cold all year round but still has civilization.CANANADA
oh now you caught my attention with "I know the tropical paradises", i'm interested tell me more. for example did you have any connections there or smth?

Implying northern sweden isnt the place everyone else wants to live in already. Perfect glorious winter, most sun hours in sweden, with beautiful midnight sun during summer and temperatures that arent too hot. Close to untouched nature to hike in etc etc.
Id rather just try to see all the positives in my own city rather than dream of others, which probably end up being overhyped.
Allthough i would consider new zealand, been there already to confirm it also being pretty top tier.

Cold, rainy, cloudy as fuck, femichocolate chip cookies, extreme nationalists, very socially shy and reserved people unless drunk, which is when they become obnoxious and annoying as fuck. Plus religious extremism being tolerated here in a way.
Would rather move to the US or Germany or maybe some tropical island

Fuck i clicked the spoiler before i read the warning, rip computer.
Not that cloudy/rainy, allthough it varies from year to year. Personally i dont think its very cold at all, maybe when it drops to -35 but not before that.Low tier? Maybe when you're dirt poor but it's a paradise for the wealthy.
Isnt germany the same, but the people dont have to be drunk to be obnoxious? And US, i dunno, seems pretty low tier.
You can actually take a risk, sell your tiny apartment, buy a huge property in one of those paradises and start a business.
Low tier? Maybe when you're dirt poor but it's a paradise for the wealthy.
It's not a paradise when there're dirt poor around you.
Somewhere that is ice cold all year round but still has civilization.
The future.
A ship hurtling through space and time, like the ones out of the writing of Alastair Reynolds.

Mongolia
no idea why
Because of their amazing throat singing music
Mongolia

But I can't choose,actually. I think it's a good place to be when the consumerist world will collapse.
