Exactly, if you go to Argentina or Brazil they don't understand what you're doing there if you come from Europe as many see it as a paradise which it is not.
I think many people who are not from Europe have the same impression of Europe as Europeans of Latam.
Sure Europe is beautiful in the summer, large parts of it are probably on avg much safer than Latam, but that is rapidly changing sadly. Then depending on where you are fall and winter are just a mindfuck. Having spent majority of my life around the Alps has given me a life long appreciation of nicer climates and seeing the sun all year around, not just between April and October.
On average infrastructure is better, but on the other hand things might just appear so because the nanny socialist states are all fucked, the "free healthcare" just means you'll wait 6months+ for everything and be taxed 50% for the privilege. There is no innovation, just stagnation. Everything is politics, half of the countries are on the brink of collapse, the other half is turning fascist. Major cities are overflow with immigrants who have no desire to integrate into society. You need a governments permission to fart. There is more employment laws than employees. Healthcare regulation is so horrible you can't even order sterilized water from abroad because its classified as controlled medication.
Europe as a continent is not bad, but EU(SSR) is becoming unbearable. You can live a cosy normie life if you bend your knee and spread your ass cheeks, but if you desire to live a life that is a bit more free you'll soon start to feel shackles on you.

Thank you! You put into words a lot of what I didn't have time to. When we move to new countries we are floating on the surface in a kind of honeymoon period. It's not until we have been there a while we start to really see other aspects. EU is looks on the romantic surface level to be operating as it used to but, as you say, the shackles are coming.
I sometimes hesitate to say bc most countries have this honeymoon period.
However, I sense the epic rugpull for residents and citizens of many highly developed countries is imminent.
