Anyone else just utterly exhausted, beyond frustrated, and at a total loss?

39. Thanks. I Hate That I Feel The Way I Do.

I hear about how great America is, and how privileged I am to have been born here. I agree to an extent. There are absolutely places in the world I would not want to be. We're far from the worst place to live.

But ever since 2000, I've grown more and more depressed with what I've witnessed taking place, and the people I must live amongst.

The last 5-6 years put that in overdrive, and the last 20 months, with the Covid ignorance, and the insurrection which I have little doubt will go unpunished, has really pushed me over the edge. I have a deep seeded hatred towards those who make up 30-40% of the population, and that hatred goes far beyond the normal liberal-conservative disagreements. When facts and reason are no longer tolerated, I see no way forward for this country. When someone is willing to die, despite the possibility of saving themselves, there is no hope left for the rest of us, since we coexist with them.

I hear about how great America is, and how people would love to come here and live. I'm sure that's true for many, who live in countries far more impoverished. But I can't believe that many people in more stable countries, look upon America and feel shame, sadness and outright hatred. When it comes right down to it, we're really not "all that."

For now, Denmark is my goal. I know it wouldn't be easy, and perhaps it would be impossible, but someday I hope I have the chance to again travel the world, and see what else is out there. I look at many countries that did it right with Covid, and think there has to be something better than what we have here. I can't help but think that countries like Denmark & Canada, with vaccination rates approaching 80%, look at America's 58% with utter disgust. And I do not blame them one bit.
