Some people I talk to think I must be kidding when I talk about leaving the United States. They say, “You’re kidding yourself if you think you can find a better place to live.” Or, “America may have its problems but everywhere else is worse.” Or, “All you’ll accomplish is to make yourself poorer.”
And maybe they’re right. I have barely begun doing my analysis of the best place on Earth to live. But I think it’s important to understand the reason why I feel that Present Day America is not only quantitatively worse than Old America but also qualitatively worse. And it’s hard to measure qualitative differences. I mean what is the value of freedom of speech? How much would you pay for freedom of association. These things can’t be easily equated to additional dollars on your paycheck. But they’re real. In fact, freedom was the original reason that many of the colonists came in the 17th and 18th centuries. They came to escape the religious persecutions in Germany and England.
And now here we are three or four hundred years later and the state has decided to take back those freedoms. You can’t say or believe or even think what you want anymore. Those decisions are being made for you. And now it’s even worse. You can’t even raise a family anymore. There’s a village doing that for you, complete with CRT and transgender affirmation protocols to mold your offspring into something you can’t even recognize as your own flesh and blood.
There’s a lot at stake. Just how much affluence are you willing to lose to be free? I think the answer should be quite a lot. After all the green new dealers already are looking to take away gasoline and replace it with windmills. And take away eggs and milk and meat and replace it with meal worms and cricket paste. So, who’s to say whether places in the “second world” might not be at least an even swap for the subhuman, Untermensch, bugman, great reset future that Davos has planned for us. But we should consider it. Here’s why.
We’re better than that. Simply put, we’re mostly very decent people who are being treated like dirt. The very government that is supposed to be looking out for our interests is systematically subjecting us to psychological attack to destroy our ability to decide our own future and ultimately to destroy our will to live. And it’s working. Birth rates are plummeting. Suicides and drug overdoses are skyrocketing. Mental illness and depression are endemic. They’re killing us.
If there is a place where this death cult isn’t in charge, then even if you were living on the cutting-edge of poverty, it might still be a very good trade off. So that’s why figuring out where the best place to live isn’t as easy as comparing GDP and crime statistics. Maybe there is a freedom index out there that you can evaluate to see where you’ll have the ability to say what you want and be with the people you like. Then you’ll have to figure out how much that’s worth. Personally, I think it’s worth a whole heck of a lot.
I’ll confess that living in a rich country is very comfortable if you’ve managed to find a good job and even put away a few bucks. But I’ll tell you the truth. Seeing the place America has turned into and knowing what it will do to my grandkids and their kids sickens me and makes me want to find a better place.
We’re better than this. We deserve better than this. We deserve to be treated as the decent human beings we are. We followed the rules and paid our taxes and tolerated all sorts of strange and unhealthy things because we wanted to be “fair.” And in return we’ve been victimized and demonized and made to feel like strangers in our own home. And now we’ve been disinherited. They’ve taken away our history and turned our heroes into monsters. They’re even re-writing our books.
Well, it’s enough. Maybe we can reclaim some of the Red States and live free lives there. But if not then it’s worth looking around. We’re good people. We’re very desirable stock for a place that wants to grow and prosper. We’re smart and hard-working (well not me, but most of us). If they don’t need us here, we should make an honest effort to find someplace where they do. If this is no longer the land of the free let’s find out if it’s moved someplace else.
