After reading over something I wrote, I realized I am more tied to a foreign country than my own. While I don't want to jump the gun before fully omitting to it, I feel like I have more in common with Colombia than the United State. I have visited it several times and feel more alive there than here. Maybe I am trying to justify it, but I feel like I am not controlled by Big Brother and the government is not an activist government, but more of just a regular government, filled with faults, but not trying to be everything to everyone. Further the future feels bright and I want to attach myself to this. Has anyone ever felt trasnational, like you were assigned ot the wrong country?

I've never really connected with México, its culture nor its entertainment, it's shit. I want it to get better the same way I want any other place in the world to get better, not out of any particular love I have for my own country. Being interested in Western entertainment and learning a shit ton of stuff about other countries other than my own from a very young age made me a very international person, I guess that's what I would call myself. I also just prefer to read shit in English, if I can translate a wikipedia article I'll read it on English. I was using imageboards by the time I was in middle school.

I feel more like I was born in the wrong century tbh. I love my homeland, and I feel a strong connection to the land where my ancestors have lived for thousands of years, but it seems like I am in a minority in feeling that way.
That said, I feel a sense of hiraeth for the UK, England in particular, but the England of the past, 1920s and back to the Regency era. There is something about the English countryside and small towns of rural England I find very appealing.
<Hiraeth = (n.) [Welsh] a homesickness for a home to which maybe never was; the nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the lost places of your past

I'll be called a weeb for this, and maybe rightfully so, but modern Japan.
They're handling the mixing of traditional culture and modernity a whole lot better than the west, they don't open the floodgates of immigration for no reason, and, most importantly, their social culture is fairly prescribed and distantly polite. Not only does the West not give you a manual for social interactions while Japan implicitly does, you're also in no danger of getting your cheeks assaulted by some random overly-familiar chick/metrosexual. At any rate, I was working on a 10 year plan to get me there on a permanent basis before the Coronavirus hit and now I don't know what's going to happen.

You know I used to be a weeb for Japan, but then I read about things like Kaizen and how they want to be able to be in it for the long run and it is something I think the West can learn from. I have also taken an interest in Taiwan as well. I liked Hong Kong but they seem to be fading and Singapore is becoming more authoritarian than usual so yeah I would agree with you on that.
As for Colombia I just feel it at home there. I feel like good things are coming there.

I get the feeling I was born as the wrong species. When I was under 5 years old, my parents took me to a zoo and a young gorilla reached through the bars and took my hand in his.
Knowing how powerful gorillas, even ones so young and what they could do to a toddler, the zookeepers were anxious to say the least. Looking back, there must have been a quality that the gorilla identified in me.

I feel I was born the wrong sentience. I wish I was a semi-abstract metaphysical watcher like Carl Sagan in his "Imagination" spacecraft from the 1980 Cosmos TV show.
I wish to be free from the physical and emotional dribes that plague humans and animals. I want to see and feel the turbulence of clouds of gas giant pla ets, the churning photonic soup of the insides of stars, the psychedelic experience of travelling at light speed, etc.
They say that being human is a gift from God. I beg to differ. The fact He crrates us for his whims and punishes us for wanting our own free destiny, amd we cannot choose our timeline, our birth, let alone our personal defects, I say being human is a curse. I'd rather be a space probe.

In general I like warm places.
Tenerife was very beautiful. It has the perfect climate.
Warm entire year but not scorching hot in summer.
In a perfect world, I would be a mentally not fucked up version of myself and evneutally a selfmade investment banker with the freedom to never depend on a job ever again
I would have met my princessa in high school. We would have either gone to same university or study at the same town. Our romance would be better than any hollywood film.
We would have married at some point and become a wonderful team. Me for finance, her for arts and intellectual matters.
She could pursue her own career and I would have pursued mine and we both would have reached olympian heights in our fields
She would not have to do anything she disliked. I would get us a maid, butler, cook anything she wanted to help her make her life easier.
And when we reached a point where more work was not necessary, we would just quit and do whatever we were up to any given day.
We would go on adventurerous expeditions, travel around the world or grow rare plants / animals for fun. Swim and surf in the beach entire day. Poetry and painting for me.
She can of course pursue her own interests or hobbies as well as I suppose she would have been into either intellectual things or the arts. She can do those from home wherever she is.
Children, I never really wanted to have them but if she wanted to, I would fulfill her wish of course and learn how to be a good father.
Since my investments would generate steady income there would be no worries for us ever again.
We would have various properties in the world for tax evasion purposes. For example in Serbistaan when you are not living there for more then 180 days per year, you do not have to file any tax reports. And you know how this shit goes. Panama papers have shown how the world elite are milking goyim for tax money but hide all their cash in Panama never paying a dime.
That would be my specialty.
These are the locations we would be living at:
>Serbia
>Germany
>Tenerife
>Hong Kong
>Japan mainland
>Okinawa
>Panama
>Hawaii
>Florida
If she is into skiing we can also get a mountain resort onto that list.

I certainly understand the pull to another nation but I've tried hard to curb that. I realize that I'm largely a product of my environment but that doesn't mean a sudden shift will radically change who I am. I need to fundamentally change myself to be happy and these escapists fantasies of mine won't do that for me. I'll be miserable everywhere I am because I am miserable. My take, anyways.

Right. A perfect world would hold a radically different and utterly unrecognizable version of ourselves in it. I don't know if I'd want to change my past because that'd change who I am and although I desperately hate myself, I'd rather hate myself than be another person entirely. Would you rather be happy and another person or miserable and the same?
I don't really believe in the whole "there are an infinite number of similar universes with different versions of you out there" idea but I like to believe I am essentially the worst version of myself. That provides me at least a little solace, I guess.

Yeah, this goes into the direction of:

this is relativity theory level of complicated shit.
But what I am interested in more. If evolution tries to make organisms adapt to life.
If our current version of ourselves is not suitable for life, why did we exist in the first place at all?
And why don't we have an integrated kill switch to just system down when there is no point in living anymore.
>Would you rather be happy and another person or miserable and the same?
if there are flow diagrams for the development of humans, I would have rather my life took the flowchart way that would have produced a lifeform capable of existing in the world in happiness instead of this existential dread I feel every day.

>What is the point of all this crap when you are an evolutionary failure?
Personally, I find the lack of cosmic importance sort of liberating. Because I'm cosmically irrelevant - even irrelevant on a much smaller scale - I don't have to worry about things like evolutionary success. The species will survive without me and I don't believe humans hold any sort of universal importance, anyways. For me, it's less "nothing matters and that's misery" and more "nothing matters and that's freedom." We've all got our own philosophies, though, and mine is always changing.
Contentedness with brief periods of happiness is the goal. Happiness is a temporary reward so it can't be expected 100% of the time. But you can expect to not be miserable. To not suffer always. I'm doing my due diligence in life by trying different methods of improving myself and my lot. Stuff like spirituality, living for others, working hard, and etc. Right now, psychiatry and therapy. Neither are working for me but I imagine the possibility of a decent life is worth putting up with a few more days of bullshit. I can kill myself any time, after all.
So, again, what's the point of this shit? There is none, so I'm going to kill myself once I decide I cannot be happy. As it is, maybe something will work. I highly doubt it, though.

That's how life goes. There's rise and fall. Up and down. Light and dark. Unfortunately, we humans with our sentiments try to shape the world with our whims, categorizing people and animals like produce. The more we deny it, the more some people slip through the cracks. Adults stop seeing children as individuals with their own life-paths, instead seeing them as "universal templates".
Social value is reduced to only your age/gender/race.
All the bullshit talk about "We are all one/We are all in this together " makes me irritated.

countries in the americans don't really have much of an identity, this is still the "new world" after all, nations are relatively young , including The united states, all the shit they call their culture and traditions is less than 100 yr old shit pushed by the government, heretic new age christian cults and the coca cola company.
>but mcdonalds burguers , buh muh rock and roll, halloween!!!11
Culture in the americas is something that changes each decade and is made up as they go along, nothing is quite ancient or stays for too long, even when something sticks for a while, like the coca cola santa claus and halloween trick or treat is going to mutate soon enough.
In every latin american country is the same, everyone sucks wathever pop culture american shit is in hype for the week and their own "traditions" extend to some local streetfood dishes, sucking their respective founding caudillos cock, some quirky way of saying the same words in their dialect, maybe soccer or popular music thats less than a few decades old. Theres no real connection to an ancient society or millenarian values, people looking for that still need to look to Europe or Asia or Middle east or even pre hispanic societies for what their own 200 yr old multicultural societies madeup by some mason is not offering spiritually
>but pibe, milanesas, soda estereo, maradona, boludo, much culture wow
Governments in this continet tried really hard to create unifying identities specially during the last century when nationalism was still seen as a good thing, states were making up holidays, trying to make their current era trends into traditions for the future and create some sort of mythology around their short history but ultimately failed, most people are etnical mongrels for whom culture, traditions and pop culture are one of the same.

Why is it shit? Is it only shit because you've become too reliant on technology, and therefore living without it is insufferable? I know that if I become a farmer, it'd be extremely tiring and intensive work. But at least I'd be able to sleep soundly at night and at least I'd wake up consistently. At least I wouldn't have to worry about being in the debts of many more powerful then me. At least I would have a community that semi-cares for me, at least I wouldn't have to constantly be on the guard in cause Juan and Tyrone wanna ape the fuck out. Sure, it'd break my back. Sure, I'd suffer in the winter. Sure, I'd probably get bored every once in a while. But those problems are minuscule compared to the absolute suffering that has been caused by the modern world.

Maybe it'll happen, with some dedication and hard work, and years of slowly preparing to do so. But it's retarded to try to shut it down by encouraging me to do something that we both know I cannot currently do. I have a dream, and I aspire to achieve said dream. And as such, I'll take steps to achieve said dream. I need to learn basic farming, and then comes the ordeal of how to feed myself before the crops grow - let alone even getting my ass from Calgary to anywhere in the central rockies.

In the past year I changed my opinion and I would say yes, absolutely. I used to think the small country I live was the country and it was actually underrated (that was national TV here tell all the time), but actually my country is a painfully irrelevant banana republic that most of the people in the world ignore its existence. I don't even like most of the typical food here; though I'm a coastal boy, I don't like too much seafood. The culture here glorifies audacity sometimes even if you are breaking the law; most people think here they can always get away with anything, that's why this culture is dipped in shit.

However, the only good things about countries like mine is that have a great biodiversity and a least some natural landscapes and ecosistems aren't severely damaged yet. TBH, I think biodiversity is more important than people diversity.
And also honestly, I wish I haven't born human; the only we do is wasting energy on bearing stupid shit and doing totally impractical stuff. I wish I was born as a field mouse; the field would be my world and food, I would have short-life spawn, and that's it.

I hope I did not sound like a dipshit with the stuff about Colombia, but I an genuinely impressed by Bogota and am interested in another smaller city (mostly for lower cost of living and as you said the nature).

Overall I would like to retire to Colombia as I really like the formalism in Bogota. I am not sure if you are in Colombia or not, but I found the formalism refreshing compared to the US.

Not from Colombia, but pretty close. I'm from Ecuador. Many people that can't travel far away cross the border to Colombia or Peru just to buy stuff that are way more cheaper or cannot be found here. I've visited Colombia but for familiar matters and I've been there less than a month. Haven't visited Bogota and don't know too much about it, but as a city with 7 million people and I know there is no subway there yet, so I guess it can be pretty chaotic in rush hours there, I dunno. Maybe you know some things about Bogota that it can be really apprecciated that I don't know about it. There is a city in I visited on the way called Pasto; it's such a small city and not a very great thing in Colombia, but it really seemed and calm and peaceful city and has a nice weather maybe like Bogota. However, I've found people like I described in my previous: when me and my family were traveling by bus through Colombia and almost arrived to the bus station in Cali, we faced with a burglar but we avoided him easily, and then after leaving Cali, the bus driver wanted to charge us again for some of the seats we've already payed bc some morons occupied some of our seats we payed but we don't discuss too much and payed him again anyway bc we didn't wanted to have trouble in another country. And about nature, I visited Cocora Valley, which is a valley in Quindio department that have endemic unique palm trees there and make a good looking landscape when you see them many of them separated each other in the distance. However the Cocora Valley is in danger bc is being invaded by cattle raising and it seems like it will be devastated by a future mining project and the national government there doesn't give a fuck to make the valley into a National Park and also is the same government which is fostering the mining project there.

I move as a child from Estonia at the end of the soviet period with my parent to this shit hole in the making. I was 8 or 9 years old then and now I am 32. I have gone to school here and my teens and young adults years have been spent here. I learned the language and culture pretty fast. But I never really assimilated in with anybody. The Dutch think I am just some Eastern Euro Polak trash and the niggers/arabs just see me as whitey. I want to go back to my country of birth but I don't speak the language at all. Neither do I have any kind of travel documents allowing me to do so.
My parents are cunts. They went back about 10 years ago after failing to find work here and are now completely assimilated there again. They even restored their citizenship. They still speak the language and have all the necessary documents so it was easy for them. I guess I understand why we made the move back then. Times back in the early 90's were very uncertain and the grass seemed greener on the other (Western) side. But now I feel like I have just been dumped here by them to be tortured. Completely alone and without hope.
I am stateless but my most recent ID (which expired in 2014) says I'm Russian even though I am not. I have lost my registration ever since my parents left so that means I cannot get any benefits or help from anybody except for the Salvation Army for food and clothes. Because of this shit I never had a shot at anything. No education, no proper job. I currently do parcel delivery but if I ever get stopped by the police they will impound my van because I have no valid license. To even get started I had to buy the van and get it insured and registered through some shady Turk. The government says that being stateless is illegal but doesn't do anything about it.
All my relatives and friends/acquaintances have stayed now have more fulfilling lives that I do even though they are supposed to "poorfags" or "3rd worlders". Some are even married and have a stable family with a couple of kids. And here I am the so called richfag/1st worlder unhappy with everything and completely disconnected from society. I tried speaking to the embassy here but they cannot help me if I have no proof or speak the language. The only thing I have is a dirty old Soviet Birth certificate which is falling apart and some pictures and papers from my old kindergarten. But those are not enough sadly.

No worry friend. Reminds me of the city my ex was from. I like Bogota as it is usually not too hot or cold, just right :) . I also have been to Medellin, and while Medellin is fancy, there is just something about Bogota I like. Having said that I want to explore other parts of the country first as well. Still more impressed by it than Mexico (although parts of Baja California and Cancun are nice).
Also with governments, they are retarded where ever you go, but the US form of crazy is just too much for me. How do I word this, I would rather have real problems (like debate about infrastructure or what not) than whether a child should be able to cut off their reproductive organs and that be called progress. I have nothing against trans people but when you start doing that to kids I think we have a problem.

yes. I hate living in a country with asocial people, long dark winters and terrible weather. I wish I could live somewhere where people weren't so closed off, like Spain. Ik there are other issues but the mentality of people in my country and the darkness is so depressing.

I'm originally from the US, but my family moved back to my parents' country Indonesia when I was ten. And after ten years of living here, I can attest that growing up in a country like this is pretty strenuous for someone who doesn't come from its culture. It's bad enough having parents who aren't from the same culture as you, but imagine being in an entire country of people who think just like them. The people here, including my family and sisters who were also born in the US, see me as a freak for being blunt, outspoken, passionate and trying to maintain my Americaness. People here are so superficially kind it's sickening. They only behave that way to get what they want from you, but if you try to open up they don't give a shit about you. If you're not unconditionally obedient, not only will you be chastized and even hit by teachers and family members, but everyone will avoid you as if you're a pariah - just because you value your individuality, which is partly how I got expelled from high school.
As for the country as a whole, the upper-middle class only gives a shit about cheap thrills, showing off how vain they are, and seeing who can get the most views on Instagram and Tiktok while the rest of the country is accelerating towards Saudi-imported Wahhabi Islamism and the government is pandering to Islamists. Political correctness and conformity dominates the minds of Indonesians, and they'll champion them until this country's demise. Anyone who doesn't gets ostracized or imprisoned for offending some minority.
The experience has been so awful that I never learned the language other than a few words to get by. I rarely go out and spend most of my time online, since there's nothing of value in Jakarta, and getting around here is a hassle in and of itself. The people I could've been friends with here moved abroad for university or back to live with their families. Moving back to the US, doesn't appeal to me due to it's dire state and the high cost of living. I doubt there's a country that's right for me, so I'll probably travel around, leveraging my online income while experimenting living in different countries.

>Why the fuck is this board more dead than usual now?
That's thanks to Jim and Ron banning lolicon, pandering to Qultists, shilling ads everywhere, and removing Mark among other things which triggered the exodus to the webring and 8chan.moe. Fun fact, Jim once hosted child pornography domains. It's always actual pedos and their enablers who hate lolicon the most. I only reluctantly came back because there are very few boards with the same atmosphere and culture as this one.

Wow that sounds like complete fucking psychological torture. Even if we americans can be a bit rude to each other constant fake niceness plus coddling to muzzies is a nightmare combo. Fuck muslims and even more so fuck tbeir enablers. I hate how pathetic some countties get just to enforce no disrespect. I was also a bit of a rebel in highschool but more of someone who enjoyed some good laughs.

I get it is not perfect but I did enjoy Bogota and Madrid as well. There is one of the larger cities ("Park City"), that I really want to check it out as it seems like it is off the path of most travelers and reminds me of a city I have been living in. Of the cities I have visited I really love Bogota. Outside a group of kids that did not seem right (hanging near a bridge) and being overcharged, I have felt pretty safe.
Obviously I am not going to be an idiot, but I feel at peace with myself there. I have been to Panama, Canada, Belize, Mexico, as well as various places in the US (besides having been to Colombia) and have not felt more at peace anywhere else.
I think what makes me happy is that despite being as flawed as it is, it is one of the few bastions of liberalism in the world. Also Colombians are some of the better performing immigrants in a survey of immigrants in Canada. Also I remember reading where Colombians were in the top 5 for CTF in the cybersecurity category. Further George Gammon mentioned how the financial officials in Colombia don't act like retards like Jerome Powell or Ben Bernanke.Further the time preference for Colombia is just a few spots below the US (I think that is a poor reflection of the US, but that is besides the point). Also I like how various protests have lead to song and dance.
I have heard about people's drinks being poisoned, atm heists, and other things as well. Also I believe trafficking is a problem as well. However even in Bogota (around 10 or 11 when I needed some food) the worst that happened is my friend and I may have been scammed but again nothing major. Also my friend may have paid too much for "companionship", but that was in the red light district during the day, so I can't complain overall. Overall I try not to go into Southern Bogota.
Overall the more I hear about Colombia the more it seems like a good fit. I used to think of Chile as a good fit, but as you can see, Chile has not been doing so good. Paraguay is the only other place I have strongly considered working toward residency in. Long story short, I hope I don't come off as attached. The more I hear the more I feel like that is where I need to be. Nice to meet you by the way friend. Do you get on the group chat?
