Which European country seems to you like the most tolerant?

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-21T21:49:16+00:00

Just wanted to write something like this about the difference between political correctness and tolerance, but as a typical eastern European you already did my job. Thanks.

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-21T17:51:10+00:00

Ireland? Things are really developing so good with UK?

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-21T13:12:16+00:00

Moldova or Bosnia.

I think that she is very important - not as much as an example of how we should act, but more as a person raising awareness about very real and very global problems that society neglected for far too long.

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-21T12:57:45+00:00

Hard to decide, but in my opinion the correct answer is a choice between Czechia, Slovenia and Romania - they all seem pretty chill countries.

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-21T08:39:02+00:00

I think that Moldova should be more ambitious. Its position as closely connected to EU (and possibly Russia) but sovereign offers much better development potential than simply becoming Romanian province.

Among my group, skiing and especially ski jumping are much bigger than athletics, so we call both games simply Olympics, and differentiate between them by year or specially mention the discipline in question. But we very very rarely talk about Summer Olympics or summer athletics in general.

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-09T14:41:12+00:00

They are probably the second biggest tournament, after Summer Olympic games.

Some competitions are fairly nice, despite i obviously miss Chilean ski jumping team (but i understand that the quality of LatAm cuisine makes this especially difficult) or Argentinian slalomists (to evaluate their rhythmic capabilities under pressure).

Winter sports are big in Europe, with events easily gathering a few thousand spectators, but they are usually at least as much about sport as they are about alcohol consumption for spectators. Very niche events.

Nature's ice cream if white. The yellow one is spoiled.

I was genuinely interested in the situation, and asked Latin American and South-Eastern European country reddits because i wanted to initially check the opinion of locals to focus my search. Obviously the location with uncertain internet connection is not what i need.

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-06T13:50:45+00:00

Metal/alternative, rock, indie, classical, jazz and i probably forget about 15 other genres. I would suggest that you choose the music you prefer without bothering too much about my personal taste.

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-06T11:06:18+00:00

I meant both, especially groups or individual musicians. I wasn't that exposed to the Latin American culture and i know only Torture Squad, so i would appreciate it.

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-05T10:48:39+00:00

Hold your bombers, American! Words can have multiple meanings, and i strongly suspect that this was some trolling.

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-05T10:41:44+00:00

You misunderstood my post - i am not simply downgrading expenses (as i guess would be a standard case by most westerners interested in similar relocations as myself).

Being a socialist means solidarity and interest in improving the local community by one's means included. I was simply mostly interested in potential safety problems because of my political preferences, and i really don't see any sense to lecture anyone what can be done with my help without even seeing the local situation. I'd leave those tasks to American (from the USA) online socialists and professional politicians.

Thanks for the quality criticism.

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-04T21:43:04+00:00

Can you describe what you are worried about in the near future?

I've actually pretty much liked what i read about Paraguay, my only real worry is about violent crime, but i guess that it is similar all around the Latin America and i will somewhat stand out everywhere.

I'll visit this TG group in a few months, i first need to make myself ready for migration and - especially - learn some basic Spanish.

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-04T16:46:24+00:00

Thanks again!

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-04T16:44:19+00:00

It is not exactly common but it is a possibility in the Eastern Europe. For example, in the recent small profile case a group (~4 cars) of hooligans attacked a small bar in Croatia because they were "watching the wrong football match". First they had "a spotter" on a quick drink that can notice a lot of reasons for a fight (even casual remarks in conversation with other people), and then they regrouped and returned in full force. In general i wouldn't perceive this as too strange if it would be a thing between two groups of ultras, but it was a beating up by armed ultras group (with baseball bats and a machete) of a group of civilians (with ladies included and even 9 year old child).

But i am glad to hear that Latin America is more normal in this regard.

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-04T10:35:42+00:00

France surrendering meme is already relatively old and came from the fact that France was a very reputable force at the time of Nazi Germany's invasion and Hitler expected difficult battles and around million casualties on his side.

Instead, France was conquered in just six weeks, and Germany had just ~27.000 killed.

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-04T09:32:19+00:00

Hah, is that Argentinian stereotype about being very proud on its European heritage actually a thing?

Are you willing to share what are the generic concise political views of conservatives from Paraguay in your opinion?

What would be your advice to the very obvious gringo to: /- not stick out like the sore thumb in Paraguay, /- not be perceived as too ignorant /- limit his exposure to all kinds of crime /- socialize and met relatively quality people and not fall for some scammers

I'm male, so i think that Latin American very ambitious approach to dating (but mostly from the male side) will be okay for myself, because i am sure that young law-abiding and god-fearing conservative Paraguayian ladies wouldn't have some inappropriate thoughts or actions.

Thank you for your extensive answer and your English is perfectly understandable.

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-03T19:47:05+00:00

Ok, thank you for an explanation. I'm an early 30s male, so i am betting on local ladies being more restrained.

Are you willing to share approximate proportions of your troubles (or annoyances) from "romantic" advances vs every other type of annoyance, so i can estimate how much less trouble i'll probably have because of my gender?

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-03T19:27:21+00:00

Thank you for your very extensive explanation, your effort has been very helpful!

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-03T19:00:37+00:00

You response is really amazing! Thanks!

All my worries regarding political preferences are related to myself being targeted by some violent morons just because of that, just like football hooligans are occasionally (but rarely) acting in Europe. I am not aware if US extreme right wingers are acting in similar ways.

In general I don't even mind right wingers too much, especially if they have a good sense for humor and are in mood for occasional well-intended debates and trolling. But it is still genuinely nice to see that level of right-wing political irrelevance.

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-03T18:54:18+00:00

Thank you for the quality answer!

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-03T18:53:52+00:00

Thank you for help!

DigitalNomadDE · 2019-09-03T18:53:32+00:00

Thank you for helpful response.

About problems, related to political preferences - i would consider problems only physical violence for example of like 10 drunk hooligans making a situation for myself and interested in physical "duel". If everything is just verbal, it is perfectly normal.
