expatriate myopia

a form of blindness resulting from having travelled to a remote part of the planet, under very difficult conditions, only to realise that there's a tour group there. Expatriate myopia causes you to not see the tour bus, the group or any individual that may remotely come from where you're from. It's often accompanied by deafness. Usually contracted by backpackers...

Diane developed expatriate myopia in Bakit Lawang, having arrive there after a 23 hour bus trip, only to find that every room was taken by Australian Year 12 students on schoolies.

This guy's as American as they come but has started multi-million dollar companies in Vietnam, Canada and Nicaragua. He's pretty much the Michael Jordan of expatreneurship.

empathy trolling

A form of guilt tripping, where someone tries to shame people for supposedly lacking empathy by falsely conflating their beliefs with the causes of various tragedies, on the basis of anecdotal evidence. Often used to stereotype entire groups of supposedly privileged people as part of a vast evil, inhuman conspiracy to keep the oppressed masses subjugated, especially in identity-politics and neo marxist circles. Also employed as a form of virtue-signaling

Idpollers constantly engage in empathy trolling on social media to milk political and social capital for themselves and their cause, out of tragedies.
