While there are definitely perks to being an American trying to relocate, it’s also definitely not easy. If you think it is, you are operating under a survivorship bias. Your situation will vary greatly from another’s.
Not easy it what sense? In absolute sense it’s not easy for everyone - duuuh. But in relative sense Americans have an incredible privilege here and yall still whine.
No one is whining about having a strong passport though. You’re giving a false equivalence. In most cases it’s about not having the funds, skill set, or resources to leave.
But that’s literary the title of the post so it’s more of you moving the goal post. Sure not everyone can afford to move etc. etc. but americans are having an incredible privilege here compared to the rest of the world.
I’m not moving any goal posts. You made a statement that equates to “but it is easy if you are american so Americans are whiners” and that’s just plain false. Easier than some countries, sure. But still not easy.
Just because a couple barriers are removed, doesn’t make the process easy and accessible. Glad you can galavant about with nary a care, I wish I were so priviledged as you, but that’s not realistic for the overwhelming majority regardless of country of origin.
