There aren’t that many places out of America’s orbit where you would want to live.

If by failure you mean fascist and authoritarian, America could still reach you.



Agreed, the problem is that in many scenarios where the US becomes a failed state.. you probably want to be IN the US rather than living under our security umbrella (Canada/Europe/Japan/Korea/Taiwan/Australia). Or worse, in a nation we might end up in a shooting war with (Russia/China).

Either enemies are going to make moves in our absence, or we are going to pray upon former allies (next orange man takes his trade wars kinetic).

So I'd rather still be in the exponentially larger (population & land) isolated continental power surrounded mostly by water and smaller states.


> still reach you

Yeah but the effort just went up 10x

Besides I don’t think they are moving to resist the fascism. It’s to seek an alternative and carry on living.
