a yank buying land in a nature reserve in britain? How about we block that?
Coward and a failure.
If she moves back, will he move away instead?
Seriously, who cares about Ellen moving?
I do. Because I have LGBTQ friends. Who feel forgotten and in danger.
The less we identify with the rich, the better.
I mean. I care about anyone. Who feels like they will be targeted. By any dictator.
What the fuck was Ellen doing for them when she lived in the US?
My dyslexic brain saw “Elon” and I got very confused by this comment at first.
That’s sad, don’t think about that loser
actually. I rarely ever do. I just tell my one friend that thinks he’s a saint. That he needs to go in for cult deprogramming.
How did your friends feel when she was pallin’ around with George Bush?
She’s as much a queer person as Oprah is a person of color. The rich are their own nation, and they don’t give a shit about you or your friends.
Saying they’re their own nation does how bad they are a disservice. These people have no creed, nation, or culture they disregard all of that for power a prime example of which being rich cunts who go to Dubai and rich Arabs who come to the West and act more debaucherous than a French aristocrat. To them creed, nation, and culture is simply a tool.
Honestly, this is one of the least objectionable things Ellen has done. If I had the means, I’d probably be exploring my options to leave this place too.
Probably not to Britain though. They’re on the same track we are.
My wife is from S. Africa, if we had the ability to pick and move to S. Africa and settle our family we’d have been gone yesterday.
Wait, you want to move to South Africa?
Same with Canada. So where to?
The whole Anglosphere is pretty fucked thanks to Rupert Murdoch and easy cultural exchange. I’m not super up-to-date on European politics but I haven’t heard anything bad about Finland lately.
Finland seems like a great country. But it’s right next to Russia, and things aren’t looking too good there.
They’ve basically closed the border, and they’re in NATO, so I wouldn’t be too worried.
Good to know that. If we move countries, we’re thinking of moving a bit permanently, so it needs to be stable for at least a few decades. It’s hard to predict things in this current climate. And every time you move you lose a lot of your assets and your social circle is reset, so it’s stressful.
Spain?
I hear the rain falls mainly on the plain there.
Must be nice to be of the ownership/wealthy classes and be able to move away from the fascists during their rise to power. The rest of us will have to do our best to remember our own humanity while we watch people become nazis and trade their humanity away before the leopards eat their faces.

For now, yeah. I mean there is no such place as a safe or “good” nation. Every one of them will hold you at gunpoint demanding money so they can build a library.
But actively and swiftly the US is going full nazi. If one leaves I don’t blame them.

I’m not sure where the “gunpoint” part came from, but do you…not like libraries?
hahahah I love libraries. It’s a “reductio ad absurdum” that shows how a lack of tax payment will, eventually, result in a state destroying your everything, and when cops show up, it’s always at gunpoint. (at least in the US)
Before you get to thinking I’m a libertarian, recall I mentioned all nation states are bad.
recall I mentioned all nation states are bad.
I’m not sure what you’re advocating for instead of nations. Roving bands of nomads?
I mean … yes. (syndicalism) But this isn’t the thread for that.
Who is paying for libraries under your preferred system?
Syndacalism isn’t roving bands of nomads.
Yup fuck these richies that flee with their money they made from being the spokespersons of the minority class they represent. They should stay and help fund the resistance but instead they say FYIGM.
I’ve seen a lot of comments on the Fediverse about people who have moved or aspire to move from red states to blue states. I hope they get the same level of vitriol in the future, just to keep things consistent.
False equivalence.
if they are mega-millionaires and make it known, then absolutely they will. You might take notice how the average scholars, MD’s, and PHD’s that are also fleeing aren’t getting such hate.
You hope my wife and I get the same level of vitriol because we want to move to a state that won’t condemn her to death in the, likely for my wife, event that there are complications during a pregnancy???
I hope you have the day you wish upon others.
It was sarcasm. Commenter was quick to judge others for leaving an unfavorable environment instead of staying to fight. The reality is not everyone wants to put themselves and their families in danger for the cause.
For real, especially with kids. They didn’t do anything to deserve it. Nor did kids with poorer parents but if your argument is that everyone needs to suffer together, that’s not a convincing one.
Former moderator FlyingSquid moved to the UK from the US to protect a transgender child. I hadn’t thought about it before now, but he must be part of the Ownership class.
two things can be true at the same time. some of us can afford it. some of us can’t.
ellen certainly can. ellen is not working class.
oh, wow. I thought they were still in Terre Haute. Good for them, though I don’t understand what’s so attractive about the U.K.
Sorry Britain.
You guys took James Corden off our hands for years, seems only fair.
Something seems off about him that I just can’t seem to put into words, so I’ve never wanted to watch any of his shows.
“I look forward to verbally abusing my new British friends,” she continued.
Don’t forget firing employees for refusing to cross picket lines…
Ellen is a piece of shit billionaire that wants applause for existing. She’s the same as musk or even trump.
She’s a garbage human. Glad she can afford to do that, even though the majority of the rest of us Americans can’t. Bravo.
Weak. I’d rather hear from the people that moved to mexico or El Salvador because of Trump. People that wanted to be here to support themselves and their families and then Trump kicked them out. Those people moved “because of Trump.” Ellen moved because she wanted to and could. Also Britain is a very out of the frying pan and into the fire type of move dumbass.
She is still rich. Her life would unlikely be negatively affected, this is just bullshit virtue signaling.
Are the Cotswolds a particularly dangerous part of Britain?
Wasn’t her show (and her probably) cancelled in the states after she was accused of bullying, and then accused her accusers of being misogynistic? I doubt Trump has anything to do with her new fame seeking agenda.
What’s she scared of, being offered a cabinet position?
No worries, the general UK population find this kind of vacuous and pompous American insufferable.
All we need is for both Trump and Ellen to move. Two less insufferable people in the USA sounds good to me. The way Ellen treated her former staff was disgusting.
A member of the mega-wealthy class is moving out of country you say? Good riddance.
Moving to TERF Island, no less.
Fuck you think the conservatives over there are better? Same shit different paint. Royal pedophiles.
I mean, only one is selling concentration camp merch so…
Both are supporting concentration camps in Gaza and want you to buy Israeli merch no difference?
The US conservatives are objectively worse, but the British conservatives (and Labour) are trying their best to catch up
What makes you think she cares about that?
She’s a billionaire, she cares about what personally effects her life.
Hell, she had trump on her show before she was cancelled for being a piece of shit:
