Ikr, they already fucking hate anyone who isn't french. And a bunch who are.

That's mostly just Paris. The rest of the country is much more chill than those Parisian fucks.

Not to say you won't find them elsewhere, but the vast majority are in Paris.

I've been to France many times, and Paris a couple of times, and I don't have that experience at all. Only rude encounters I've had with French speakers were in Wallonie in Belgium 😂

My Polish mate says there is no regionalism in Poland unlike what you would see in other countries; but said everyone hates the Warsaw people.

I confirm this. In the south, working in software development, half my coworkers always come from random countries. Except Americans, I've never seen them and I don't know why. They should come, we have great food, beer, and wine.

Probably the pay, Europe is notoriously lower pay, especially for tech.

Also, the visa process is way harder then just moving within the EU.

Why move halfway around the world when there's a whole content of better pay at your doorstep?

Not technically "pay", but:

  • Healthcare
  • Vacation
  • Employees having rights at all

are pretty good benefits.

As a side note. If you are able to negotiate for more pay, you're also able to negotiate for more paid holiday. Just saying.

That's a massive "if" and depends on many factors. I'd rather have my paid vacation days guaranteed by law.

That's them not considering all the benefits. So much shit we pay for in America that Europe gets through it's taxes, that aren't even that much higher.

Yes lot of people seems to fail to understand that we aren't less paid in France but we have the concept of differed salary where the state taxes the shit of your employeer and you to pay most of the benefit like free health care, public transport, free schools... This is actually just the concept of taxes but instead of getting free health care or efficient public transport the few taxes paid in America go to bombing middle east ..

This isn't quite right. People in Paris are equal opportunities assholes. There are higher concentrations of xenophobes outside of the big cities.

i mean France isn’t specifically worse than other western countries, like Australia, the UK, or Austria.

The point is all of them are still holding on to racism, ableism, xenophobia. We aren’t past it yet.

One could argue France is getting notably worst about these. But well, other European countries too, it seems.

Nah, but it's France, it's cool to hate on France because somehow they've got this reputation for being assholes. And sometimes they are, but there's assholes everywhere. Even in Thailand, the land of smiles, I've had bad experiences with people.

🇷🇺 I want you be miserable.

🇺🇸 Already on it.

🇷🇺 That’s a good boy. Now go and get wrecked.

🇺🇸 Anything you say.

🇷🇺 Don’t forget to suffer before you die. I want these things to happen in that exact order. Now, don’t screw this up! Oh, and make it quick. I don’t have all day.

🇺🇸 Yes daddy.
