I want to immigrate away from the United States, but I don't know where to immigrate to.
  • The U.S is an awful place for workers, specifically neurodiverse workers; I am diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, and have dark-skin. :(
  • I also think it will turn fascist in some years which, based on history, does not give a good life experience for the disabled or neurodivergent.
  • I have not been employed anywhere; but I have read online about the dozens of awful worker stories, which (probably for my benefit) dissuaded me from getting a job as a teenager; and I don’t feel motivated to get one because of my ADHD.
  • U.S Self-defense laws seem draconian; even if I just rely on basic self-defense, exercise, and Krav Maga; I still fear that my potential self-defense plea will get thrown out.

(I think I want to dodge the NATO countries.) I think I would like to and try to immigrate to a socialist country; but I haven’t fully layed out my reasons for that yet.

If I think of anything else to add; I’ll edit the post to add it here.

      Unfortunately Japan is not very progressive when it comes to matters of race. Foreigners get treated differently and there is a good deal of bigotry against them in general. I don’t know for certain but I know that white people get treated that way so I can only imagine that a brown person would get it much worse.

      Japan never got over its imperial ambitions and it has a very strict immigration policy because, essentially, it doesn’t like the idea of diluting its culture and national identity with migrants. Chinese people and Korean people are held in particular disdain in mainstream Japanese culture.

      If you were thinking of moving to Japan, I’d investigate other people’s experiences of bigotry and racism especially if they are brown-skinned before I’d make up my mind about it.
