A curious thing about American leftists who move out of the country

While they are a fringe microscopic minority, there are a few American far-leftist zealots who have been brainwashed and fear-mongered so deeply and so completely that they are have or are planning to actually leave the United States and move to another country (obviously "to escape fascism"). In the few cases that do this and they do follow-ups on their new lives in those new countries, it almost invariably turns out that those other countries were not the socialist paradises that they thought they would be (and often they are shocked about how expensive and difficult it is to live there, after having lived their entire lives in the US, where everything is relatively speaking cheap and taxes are very low.)

There are two rather curious things about these people that I have noticed:

1) Every single example of this that I have seen has the far-leftist move to a rich western country where, most usually, the population demographic is even more white than in the US. This even when the common narrative of the American far-leftists is to praise how great non-western non-white countries are.

Curiously, I have not seen a single example of them moving to an African, south-American or even Asian country. It's always either Canada, an European country, or Australia. Curious that. And, most often, it's to a country that has a very high white population. Even more curious that. (So much for their hatred of white people and their narrative that white people are evil.)

2) Curiously, I have not seen a single one of them complain about the strict border and immigration policies of those countries. They always respect it, they always go through the legal paperwork in order to immigrate to those countries. They never complain about closed borders, tight border security and strong immigration law enforcement, even though they are constantly complaining about those things about the United States.

In other words, they never seem to advocate for other countries what they are demanding for the United States with regards to borders and immigration policies, when they are moving to those countries. Curious that. It's almost like they had two standards.
