#6While at the same time this is the real headline “U.S ranked first as country most desired to immigrate to among all countries”.
Conversely: “Highly paid tech workers in the US believe Marxism will do wonders for the average person”

Well, I certainly can think of more worker-friendly nations. Isn't Japan known for its toxic work culture?

Honestly when it comes to international cultureral sensitivity, I don't feel the hacker news crowd is exactly the most woke. I quite often see statements like these that are completely oblivious to the actual reality in other countries

Clearly the original poster was being sarcastic, in reference to those places being ranked as better for workers' rights in spite of being terrible places to work by most accounts.

This is because US has very good marketing and most of the numbers are deceptive. I think if you ask typical US immigrants how the reality corresponds with their prior expectations, I think the theme will be disappointment.
Huge US salaries sound very attractive to people from other countries, but I think that when they actually arrive on the ground and they realize how high the costs of living are (especially rents), and they realize that they have almost 0 negotiating power due to visa requirements, the salaries don't look so good anymore.
The same can be said about big cities in any developed country. People leave small towns in droves to live in big cities with big salaries but it's only when they arrive there physically that they understand how terrible a deal it actually is. A person who lives in a small or medium-sized town is able to buy multiple houses with land on a small salary and even rent them out to others for profit. In big cities, a typical highly paid worker can barely afford a single shoebox-sized apartment for themselves.
I've worked as a software developer all over the world (Australia, Russia, The Netherlands, UK, Germany) and I worked remotely for a US company for 1 year and have spoken with hundreds of people about this so I should have a pretty good idea of how it works.
