    mediterranean spain and greece are like the number one tourist destinations in europe? especially for beached moby-dick anglos, dutch and nordics. i’m sure you can find some dystopian resort town where you can stagger around all day between “irish” bars and all-day breakfasts and chip shops and only interact with other northern baron harkonnens, and maybe some local service staff.

    so what’s this guy’s problem with south europe? that there are some north african people there, and non euros are scary? that the local people are somewhat tanned because it’s sunnier and therefore us-foreign-policy ? or is he doing the dennis hopper in true romance bit unironically?

    let’s see what this dude finds acceptable:

    • good tier: scandinavia except anywhere within a two-hour drive of stockholm (isn’t malmo the place in scandinavia that rightoids love to hate?)
    • ok tier: estonia (??), former occupied germany, finance mountain, west poland (???), apple italy, french b*lgium, an incomprehensible section of france
    • questionable tier: stockholm and the surrounding countryside, republic of ireland, latvthuania, former ddr, pasta italy, bohemia, austria, the parts of former yuguslavia where any anglo tourist has ever been, le epic weed and stag night nederland, nederflanders
    • scary tier: ukkk , bretagne (???), provence (???), central poland, east czechia (??), slovakia, belarus, atlantic spain
    • i pee my pants tier: middle spain/portugal, pizza italy, the french riviera, east poland, greece, romania, bulgaria
    • literally mordor tier: le ebil russia, orbania, the place in former yugoslavia where they had wars and stuff, basque country (?) mediterranean spain, south portugal, mafia italy

    is it just us-foreign-policy + places that were socialist + muslim migrant + risk of pickpocketing?

      Southern Spain paid the map maker as part of their volcel-kamala Do Not Come campaign.

      Some islands like Mykonos have pretty much entirely transformed to this, locals can’t afford shit because it’s all targeted to the rich colonizers that own houses with pools and shit there
