    Sure, if you’re privileged enough to have a remote job and you’re comfortable with getting a cheaper lifestyle through what essentially amounts to neocolonialism. But what about everyone else?

      I know people from every country I’ve been to who are full-time travelers, including those you apparently consider “underprivileged”, an epithet they would be offended by.

      If an identical car costs $2,000 at one dealership and $20,000 at another, I’ll buy the $2,000 one. You pay whatever you want.

      Check your assumptions.

        Anybody who would be offended by being referred to as underprivileged needs to be slapped in the face. It’s like being offended because somebody said you were running late. You either are running late or you aren’t, getting offended because somebody doesn’t understand your situation is just dumb.

          You want to slap underprivileged people you’re insulting for understanding the world differently than you.

          Executing your self-righteous violence without repercussion from your position of…what’s the word…

                Stop letting other people‘s opinions live rent free in your head. That was my point. If you get insulted because of somebody else’s opinion that’s your problem not their problem.

                Worse though, saying that underprivileged is an insult is an insult to everybody who is underprivileged.

                  You’re advocating abuse and blaming your victims for being insulted by your insults.

                  They’re different than you; their differences don’t warrant your abuse.

                    No, I’m talking about the same people you’re talking about. I don’t have any victims. You are the one who has friends who would be “offended by that epithet”. And since you aren’t taking this conversation seriously I will bid you good day.
