    yeah i subbed for a while but it seems he's realized making content critical of the US gets him views so i unsubbed.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with being critical of a country. That can often be the first step to making changes to improve things. If you can' be critical of your country, I feel like that's something out of '1984'..

    It is one thing to be critical of the country that you are living in. It
    is something different to decide to stay somewhere else while continuing
    to throw shade at the place you left.

    According to whom? Who cares?

    Do you believe those that move away from a fascist regime lose their right to be critical of said regime or country?

    Why?

    He has his reasons for deciding to live in another country, and I don't really see anything wrong with expressing those reasons, as long as it's done in a respectful way (which I think he generally does).
