[Music] swey C hey YouTube Alex here coming to you today from Hai Thailand and this is going to be a bit of a controversial one today I want to answer the question why does so many people hate expats
number one reason is that some people hate xats because they are jealous the same could be said about why people hate Nomads for a lot of people they're watching after worth they don't get the respect they deserve at
their job maybe their family doesn't treat them well they have all kinds of reasons to be unhappy and they want to take it out on somebody that they perceive to be living the life Unfortunately they see your travels
uh somehow taking something away from them they hate that the expad is able to go around the world The Nomad is able to go around the world see beautiful places spend time with beautiful women have good food have
fresh air and a lot of sunshine that they may not be getting and rather than trying to figure out how they could do it themselves they just get jealous and angry they take Hot Shots they attack the xats
their nomad's looks whatever it may be because that's easier than just taking the steps and investing the time and money to be able to pull the lifestyle off long-term Travelers aren't exactly a group that elicits a lot of
sympathy Charly Munger can be quoted as saying that he feels that a lot of people think that greed is the worst emotion but he actually feels that jealousy is the worst emotion and I think Charlie makes a great
point with that quote the number two reason that people hate expat is because there's a lot of terrible expats out there for some xats they see the fresh start as an opportunity to go and be nefarious and do
bad things they've got criminal records they're notorious in their home country they have a bad reputation that they want to get away from this portion of this video could go on for hours and hours I know many of
you are familiar with the expat that kicked the doctor and puket absolutely disgusting behavior on his part when Thai people see that it gives expats a bad name My Thai friends are familiar with that case it's disheartening to
me I think that anybody who is a guest in Thailand should treat the Thai people and Thailand in general with a great deal of respect and consideration I've done my best to leave my baggage behind in the west
and I think all expats should be advised to do the same as best as they can I'm sure if you Google xat arrested it's going to provide you a lot of interesting sad stories there are PS with bad
intentions and some of these guys they get the impression that they can come over here do whatever they want and there'll be no problem and that couldn't be further from the truth I mean we have plenty of examples
of xats Behaving Badly and getting in trouble not going to pick out one person or anything like that they see this as their place to act up many will be sorely disappointed these countries have their own laws and
rules and I suggest everybody research these before making the journey over to better understand expectations number three is that they project Western values on non-western cultures they think that if a person is from a Western Country then they
should be bound by Western ethical standards to the rest of their life regardless of where they live and this is unreasonable now with the diversity in the west there's people like myself who while I grew up in the
west I don't really ascribe to Western values now some are good but certainly not the totality of them and more so not in their current iteration whatever values you believe in I think that a lot of people are
starting to see some cracks in the foundation of the West a lot of these developing countries benefit heavily from tourism you look at a country like Thailand and I love Thailand about 20% of Thailand's economy is tourism so
the country benefits greatly from tourism if you've seen my Vlogs you see how beautiful Thailand is it's a easy case to make to offer to ISM here it's such a beautiful country with friendly people an admirable culture I
hope more and more people will be able to enjoy Thailand in the coming years number four is that they feel like expats of Traders they would say that if you don't stay here and live in misery then you
are a Trader if you don't stay here and pay high taxes go with the flow accept whatever it is that we say then you're a Trader they feel like if you use your passport which all Americans assuming they
haven't violated certain laws or entitled to own and purchase and utilize in many countries provide visa-free access for US Passport holders we feel that crime is a problem we don't even feel safe in our hometowns because of the
chaos that has arisen we've seen our hometowns change dramatically and become unaffordable and we just want to maintain a middle class standard of living that we used to have at our home countries that doesn't exist anymore it's easy
to call somebody Trader from it's easy to call somebody Traer from a Glass Castle in a sky from the mansion in the Hills but they're not actually seeing our day-to-day lives and our day-to-day reality that have gotten so
bad that we don't have hope anymore for the future in our home country and we're going abroad to pursue a better life so not a fair assessment and the fifth Point Fifth and final point is that they are
projecting their own insecurities on these expats indital Nomads they see things getting worse they're in a position where they can't leave they have this crabs and ab bucket mentality where if nobody leaves if everything stays the same if
everybody stays in their place then everything will just go back to the way it was but you can't turn back time I think it really starts to show a shadow on this idealism where as things get worse they
cling more and more to idealism and delusion they don't want to acknowledge what all is going on to acknowledge that the ideal de is no longer working would be more painful than addressing the reality of the situation I
think as things get worse people will cling more and more to that idealism because it's easier to cling to idealism than to take lasting action to address the problems the changes would be potentially quite painful they just don't
want to take on the insecurity of what could I have done differently if not to change things to set myself up to leave now I know things have gotten really bad in the last few years especially but it's
really important to take the action you can and if that means leaving your country well the majority of Americans can trace their Heritage back to people who left their home countries so unless you're Native American or your descendant
from slave populations your ancestors came willingly now they may have had some delusional beliefs but they did not get taken against their will lack of social cohesion why is it that they get to go to a beautiful place
with Gorgeous beaches nice people friendly culture warm and inviting atmosphere low cost of living and all these wonderful things that make living overseas so enjoyable so I hope this video has been helpful this has been five reasons people
hate expats let me know what you think down in the comments this is just the tip of the iceberg as one of my Subs Matt says I could go on for about 5 to 6 hours on this topic
