I know places like Portugal and Spain are going through serious housing crunches right new and I know expats often exaggerate those problems. So where can an American flee oppression without just oppressing someone else?

For context: I’m a progressive lefty, thinking about long term relocation options cause the fash is getting pretty thick around here.

    Greek American’s take: from left to right it gets more progressive, pointing out that even progressive Americans are still conservative in Scandinavia.

      “Progressive” is anyway a specific adjective that by itself doesn’t mean much. Some Americans would call themselves more progressive than others because English is a (more) gender neutral language.
