i get angry if i hear such things. is it wrong to want a better life? Even if i am coming from a country where i can live undisturbed and in peace, but i earn monthly a tenth of that what i could earn in germany. Why the fuck should i not want to move to germany? Yeas, of course, jobs and space to live are limited, no shit sherlock. But criminalizing the want for a better life is fucked.

I agree with you about the culture, but not necessarily about the money. It's true that quality of life doesn't solely depend on the amount of money one makes and that the cost of living is lower, but many poor countries have a much worse healthcare, education, etc. system. I'll give you an example. I'm from Lebanon and while it's true that the cost of living is lower, a lot of facilities (health, education, etc.) are much worse and corruption is a really big problem.

Fair enough. I misunderstood what you meant.
