i want to say australia, the uk and japan are the top three, tnetatively in that order, but you could probably fit klanada in there instead.

    True, from a quality of life POV it would definitely be an improvement. But I feel like the feeling of doom and futurelessness that's so pervasive in the US is probably also a problem in Japan. To be clear, I'm basing this purely on vibes, not any data. But I feel like the widespread sense that nothing will ever improve is probably more of a problem there than, say, Portugal. Maybe I'm just an ignorant Yankkkee but based on my brief travels in Japan it feels accurate.

    Personally, if I'm going to move away from the US, I wouldn't want to move to a country with such similarly bummer vibes

    Death to America

      Yeah, vibes are pretty hard to quantify, especially across vastly different cultures. In my personal experience, the doom and gloom is much less prevalent (and frustrating) than the grill pilled political apathy.

      Still, no one should tell you how to feel about moving to another country, so best of luck escaping from that American hellscape.
