Well here's the thing, I'm too disconnected from the local culture, we're so much poorer than you think yet we brag about how capable we are at hosting world events, there's racism here, if you're not Muslim or Jewish then you basically don't matter, if you're queer then you also don't matter, the obsession with football is insane, the local music scene sucks, the education is leagues behind what some of you might call "good", not to mention terrible terrible television, poor internet speeds, architecture that may look cool but will definitely collapse one day if not taken care of, I could go on and on.
Basically, I have trouble fitting in with society, and I wanna move out. But I don't know if anyone would wanna take me in.
That part is wild. That sounds like much better treatment than Jewish people can expect in many places
You like the food? You close with your parents or family?
The answer to that last question is no.
Also, even if you are Jewish, you don't matter AS much as the Muslims, they're basically treated as second class citizens. Yes, antisemitism is a real thing over here, as much as the state is trying to hide it. And even then, you need ancestral links to Judaism, you can't just convert.
