Not to dig into whataboutism but the same could really be said about the US's island possessions: https://www.civilbeat.org/2021/10/census-pacific-us-territory-populations-drop-lifestyles-change/ https://www.civilbeat.org/2021/10/census-pacific-us-territor...
Fact is populations will leave if they see chance at a better life elsewhere, even if they aren't living in an active warzone or under some some government the US doesn't like.
- luckylion 2y ago10y vs 1y, internal migration vs moving to a different country with a different language. It's really not comparable.
- joecool1029 2y ago> moving to a different country with a different language. The US doesn't have an official language, there are areas that speak almost exclusively spanish. All government shit is available in spanish. Puerto Rico speaks spanish. Over a fifth of Floridians speak spanish at home.
- nailer 2y agoI mean yes people wouldn’t want to live in a US island possession either. That doesn’t invalidate the parent’s point.
