    This guy is a weird spiritual business guru. This post isn’t an observation on modern American life, it’s one of his many posts that try to sell you on his business where he claims that he can teach you how to monetize your passions and not have to actually work

      Their intentions do not disqualify the legitimate point made though. As a European, the last time I considered I could maybe live in the former united states was around 1997. So well before it turned full-on shithead Magastan.

        Sure but… does he keep meeting Americans that moved and didn’t know life could be that way though?

        More than one thing can be true at a time but while this reads like just some guy who keeps going to the local pub and meeting Americans who talk about how great life is after moving, in reality he’s a business man making a sales pitch.

        It’s kind of working too. The amount of people here who didn’t think to research who this guy is and just took his word for it is… something.

        I’m not saying the guy is a grifter, I don’t know. I don’t know if he’s right or wrong. My point is to make people aware this is a sales pitch not a genuine observation. And it’s a sales pitch by a “spiritual guru”, for what that’s worth

        Personally, the US is a big place and so culture varies state-to-state. Where I live, people don’t ask you what you do for a living when you first meet them

        Because while everyone is assuming this is a tweet by just some guy who keeps running into Americans at the Pub who tell him about how great life is after moving, in reality he’s a business owner making a sales pitch

        Knowing it’s a sales pitch, do you still believe he regularly runs into Americans who moved to Italy? Or do you think maybe he’s just making that up to try to sell his business to Americans?

        That’s choice is up to you I guess, but at least now you know
