What's actually happening is that they're engaging in luxury beliefs - virtue signal online but never follow through, because implicitly they know that if they did they would have to live with the real life consequences of following the ideas they support. I.e - super high taxes, low wages, economic stagnation, waiting months for routine medical work.
I've already said that I have half a dozen friends who currently live in Europe and love it and a few others who used to and will return if they can get work visas. It doesn't work for my family for the same reason I wouldn't have to go to American right now. If I was 24, I'd 100% entertain moving to Europe.
