"You can’t really be calling people ignorant while being so obviously clueless."
I am a traveler, and everything I've said is backed up by personal experience, screenshots, every travel website, and official government websites.
people who are claiming it is impossible or difficult to travel or buy a plane ticket for a few hundred dollars are ignorant of the realities of travel.
ignorant means they are unaware of certain knowledge.
"You cant just immigrate to another country at the drop of a hat."
few points here:
you made up this straw man of permanent immigration yourself, which is not the same thing as traveling.
you absolutely can permanently immigrate to certain countries if you choose to, and the initial process can be as easy as buying a tourist visa.
immigration is unnecessary in most travel situations.
"There’s a process, and a lot of times stringent requirements particularly for Western European countries if you aren’t already living in the EU."
completely incorrect.
this is an example of your ignorance.
you are clearly unaware of how traveling to Europe works for Americans, and you are equating permanent immigration with traveling, which are not the same thing.
you can buy a ticket to any European country part of the Schengen area, fly over there immediately and stay visa-free for 3 months as an American.
If you don't know something, ask questions, don't make things up.
