[an orange character is speaking, smugly]
I vote far right because I hate immigrants who come to our country and do not adopt its culture
[from their brain, a thought bubble emerges which shows a sunny thai landscape, in which orange is chilling on a deck chair by the sea, drinking coconut juice and smiling, clearly enjoying life]
I dream of having enough money to move/retire to Thailand and never learn the language or adopt the culture
You don’t understand!! He wouldn’t be a dirty immigrant, he would be an expat!!!
That reminds me of the (apparently real) complaint by a British couple vacationing in Spain, who were outraged that nobody had told them so many people would be speaking Spanish. 😀
OI PABLO. DOS SERVEYSAS POUR FAVORR.
Or the British expats suddenly unable to stay in European countries after brexit and not accepting it was because of those who voted to leave the EU
OMG the ones that voted for Brexit despite having a retirement home in the EU and then got kicked out for not paying taxes were hilarious!
“What do you mean we need a visa? THIS IS NOT THE BREXIT I VOTED FOR!!!”
I believe it.
I worked with an Englishman who has lived in the Netherlands for more than 20 years without learning Dutch.
We had a work trip to Madrid, and he went the weekend beforehand for a short vacation. I ran into him on Sunday night and asked him how it went. He said it was terrible, because he’s a vegetarian and couldn’t eat anything because nobody spoke English. He didn’t know what to order or how to ask if something was vegetarian. He was outraged that nobody spoke English. In Madrid. The capital of Spain. 🙈
Anywhere else I’d understand the outrage. But Dutch isn’t a real language.

On behalf of the rest of the country that has more brain cells than a used tea bag, we’d like to issue an apology to Madrid, the Netherlands, and yourself for his ignorance.
There’s some of us here who are trying their best to educate these people but it feels like trying to hold water in a sieve.
Ah Gender Reassignment Surgery, good choice. Thailand is the leading country to get medical support for this from.
He’s talking about
Tap for spoiler
Thai green fish curry.
I thought he was talking about
But Thai authorities have a different view. They have filed a compliant, accusing the couple of breaching a section of the country’s criminal code that relates to threatening the sovereignty of a state, and erosion of a state’s independence, according to the Post. The charges carry the death penalty
Damn, they don’t fuck around.
Generally speaking, your Embassy will intervene and bail you out if you aren’t a complete POS.
But it usually involves a long time in foreign custody and not terribly kind treatment.
His wife’s a Thai citizen…
You also get several years in prison if you ever happen to disrespect one of the members of the royal family, even if you didn’t know that it was a member of the royal family.
It’s not even that deep. “I’m voting right because I hate immigrants”. And by “immigrant” they mean “not white”.
They don’t like integration, they like America. In their eyes immigrants will never be American regardless of how they act, they just think the American way of life is the only acceptable way of life, regardless of location.
In their eyes immigrants will never be American
Why move to Thailand if you like America though?
Sun, cheap prices, and crime!
Still seems kinda flimsy. Like if I ever move there it’s because I love Thai food, want to learn more about the culture, and I want to see some bettas in the wild!
Can’t believe a colonial settler would say and think like this
Pom choop kon Thai.
I don’t think it’s a valid fallacy since there would be a whole different set of issues if to many millionaire immigrants came to America and not learn the “culture”.
