    Europe, yes

    UK, no

    USA, no

    Mexico, yes (so long as my flight doesn’t land in the US)

    You mean EU countries or UK? Former yes (safest place in the world right now)… the latter, maybe (not so safest).

    Western European countries are the safest in the world, really:

    • No killings by police/ICE and no arrests for undetermined time
    • People do not walk around with guns
    • Mostly clean — no air pollution and drinkable water
    • Higher standards of food safety in the world
    • Cheap food and transport
    • People are vaccinated
    • High level of education mean that most people will speak at least two languages (i.e. dumb-anglophones-friendly)
    • Higher levels of data privacy in the world
    • very low levels of criminality and disorder, more so when compared with other “developed countries” (i.e. USA, UK)

    Can add more to the list more if you need.

        It’s not wise to go to the centre of those protests on specific weekend days, sure. So that means that it’s fine to go to 99.999% of Europe. Even going to Paris will be perfectly fine on protest days, because it’s a huge city.

    I lived in Germany for 10 years when I was younger. I’d love to go back and visit if I could afford it…although I might tell everyone I’m Canadian, eh!

    Well, it would be hard as someone linguistically dumb when it comes to basically all the languages there, so the only place I’d probably end up going is Ireland. Either way, wouldn’t mind going if I could afford it.

        But at the same time, I don’t want to come off as a dumb tourist wgo didn’t even bother learning any of their language. It just would feel kinda wrong to ne, like I’m somehow disrespecting their country.

          I can assure you, outside of France, no one gives a shit if a tourist doesn’t know the local language.

            That’s a wierdly (un)specific take… The attitude towards foreigners differs from person to person all over Europe. Europeans are diverse people in the best and worst ways.

          Then I don’t see what’s the issue imo. We have protests, yes but they’re their own thing. Maybe I don’t know enough about eastern EU but here in Spain things are very peaceful.

            Like before the war I used to receive an answer regarding my visa application in 2 weeks. Last time it took 2 months and the result was a decline, even though I worked for European companies ever since leaving Russia.

            Coupling this with Europe giving a platform for Valentina Matvienko (like the third top official in Russia), EU allowing Russian officials, oligarchs, propagandists, and their relatives to factually reside on its territory and the fascist tendencies in countries like Italy, Latvia, and, to some extent, Germany, I would prefer to keep a certain distance between the European project and myself.

            In other words, you are too pro-Russian to me and I wouldn’t feel safe there.

    It’s not Europe anymore. Too many violent migrants & the EU isn’t helping.

    Remove both of them & I’ll happily continue my yearly European vacations again.

      Found the American 🤣

      One of the most violent countries on planet earth where everyone is an immigrant, mostly from Europe -> loves to complain on the internet about violence and immigrants in Europe.

      Kid, your neighborhood probably has a higher murder rate than most of Europe combined

      I mean, get refugee status to flee out of your religious oppressive country to go to a non religious oppressive one and keep following the same “laws” and trying to apply them to others. Trying to make it as the oppressive as the country you fled? Makes sense.
