Some people I talk to think I must be kidding when I talk about leaving the United States.\u00a0 They say, \u201cYou\u2019re kidding yourself if you think you can find a better place to live.\u201d\u00a0 Or, \u201cAmerica may have its problems but everywhere else is worse.\u201d\u00a0 Or, \u201cAll you\u2019ll accomplish is to make yourself poorer.\u201d<\/p>\n
And maybe they\u2019re right.\u00a0 I have barely begun doing my analysis of the best place on Earth to live.\u00a0 But I think it\u2019s important to understand the reason why I feel that Present Day America is not only quantitatively worse than Old America but also qualitatively worse.\u00a0 And it\u2019s hard to measure qualitative differences.\u00a0 I mean what is the value of freedom of speech?\u00a0 How much would you pay for freedom of association.\u00a0 These things can\u2019t be easily equated to additional dollars on your paycheck.\u00a0 But they\u2019re real.\u00a0 In fact, freedom was the original reason that many of the colonists came in the 17th<\/sup> and 18th<\/sup> centuries.\u00a0 They came to escape the religious persecutions in Germany and England.<\/p>\n And now here we are three or four hundred years later and the state has decided to take back those freedoms.\u00a0 You can\u2019t say or believe or even think what you want anymore.\u00a0 Those decisions are being made for you.\u00a0 And now it\u2019s even worse.\u00a0 You can\u2019t even raise a family anymore.\u00a0 There\u2019s a village doing that for you, complete with CRT and transgender affirmation protocols to mold your offspring into something you can\u2019t even recognize as your own flesh and blood.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a lot at stake.\u00a0 Just how much affluence are you willing to lose to be free?\u00a0 I think the answer should be quite a lot.\u00a0 After all the green new dealers already are looking to take away gasoline and replace it with windmills.\u00a0 And take away eggs and milk and meat and replace it with meal worms and cricket paste.\u00a0 So, who\u2019s to say whether places in the \u201csecond world\u201d might not be at least an even swap for the subhuman, Untermensch, bugman, great reset future that Davos has planned for us.\u00a0 But we should consider it.\u00a0 Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n We\u2019re better than that.\u00a0 Simply put, we\u2019re mostly very decent people who are being treated like dirt.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 And it\u2019s working.\u00a0 Birth rates are plummeting.\u00a0 Suicides and drug overdoses are skyrocketing.\u00a0 Mental illness and depression are endemic.\u00a0 They\u2019re killing us.<\/p>\n If there is a place where this death cult isn\u2019t in charge, then even if you were living on the cutting-edge of poverty, it might still be a very good trade off.\u00a0 So that\u2019s why figuring out where the best place to live isn\u2019t as easy as comparing GDP and crime statistics.\u00a0 Maybe there is a freedom index out there that you can evaluate to see where you\u2019ll have the ability to say what you want and be with the people you like.\u00a0 Then you\u2019ll have to figure out how much that\u2019s worth.\u00a0 Personally, I think it\u2019s worth a whole heck of a lot.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll confess that living in a rich country is very comfortable if you\u2019ve managed to find a good job and even put away a few bucks.\u00a0 But I\u2019ll tell you the truth.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n We\u2019re better than this.\u00a0 We deserve better than this.\u00a0 We deserve to be treated as the decent human beings we are.\u00a0 We followed the rules and paid our taxes and tolerated all sorts of strange and unhealthy things because we wanted to be \u201cfair.\u201d\u00a0 And in return we\u2019ve been victimized and demonized and made to feel like strangers in our own home.\u00a0 And now we\u2019ve been disinherited.\u00a0 They\u2019ve taken away our history and turned our heroes into monsters.\u00a0 They\u2019re even re-writing our books.<\/p>\n Well, it\u2019s enough. \u00a0Maybe we can reclaim some of the Red States and live free lives there.\u00a0 But if not then it\u2019s worth looking around.\u00a0 We\u2019re good people.\u00a0 We\u2019re very desirable stock for a place that wants to grow and prosper.\u00a0 We\u2019re smart and hard-working (well not me, but most of us).\u00a0 If they don\u2019t need us here, we should make an honest effort to find someplace where they do. \u00a0If this is no longer the land of the free let\u2019s find out if it\u2019s moved someplace else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some people I talk to think I must be kidding when I talk about leaving the United States.\u00a0 They say, \u201cYou\u2019re kidding yourself
