Obviously this depends heavily on specifics, but imagine you only know the following about someone. They are:
Would you recommend that they take the opportunity to move to America, if it presented itself? Fifty years ago, this would've been a no-brainer. As recently as ten/fifteen years ago, I think you could've given a confident yes. But now?
The US still has a lot going for it. The general standard of living is very high. It's the most important country in the world. It's a leader in almost everything that matters in life. It's cucked, but less so than most places in the West. Even now, you can do very well in America, if you're intelligent/hard-working/lucky/all of the above. The American Dream is alive, sort of.
On the other hand, the country is tearing itself apart, and you wouldn't really fit in on either side. You'd be an immigrant, an outsider, but a white guy, so no oppression points. Most of the major institutions are either implicitly or explicitly biased against you. Most Americans of all backgrounds are pretty insular, so people would know next to nothing about where you're from. You could probably assimilate fairly easily, but into what? A culture 'centered around niggers'?
What would you do? Take the Mayflower, or stay at home and be a good Anglican?
- A straight, white, able-bodied male (i.e. public enemy number one) from a wealthy Western nation (no poor Slavs)
- Average in terms of personal wealth, education, work experience etc.
- Not a commie
