From a British perspective I started seeing the USA as a dangerous rogue superpower after 911. I had been there briefly before 911 and it occurred to me how oblivious Americans were to the effects the USA had internationally. It's as if 911 gave America's political left a reason to revolt, which has eventually led to polarisation and this woke mess. As an idea the USA started as a kind of "Magna Carta England 2.0" but in practice it's become a monster. I talk to a lot of Americans here in Costa Rica and they feel the same disillusionment that I feel about the UK.

Brits are systematically brainwashed by the BBC and have been for 2 generations. You only know one side of every story. Brits get 2-D caricatures rather than 6-D truth.

Looking at the history of civilizations, as the people become deracinated and detached from the land, the people move to the cities and willingly become slaves to the state, they push for free stuff and push for increased government power because they are weak. At the same time the ruling elite are so powerful they seek to import more dependents into the empire who will also live in the cities and push for bigger government. These two things happen in parallel, the concentration of power begets more concentration of power begets a weaker and more detached demos who seek more free stuff. Once the cycle starts its unstoppable. The US has all the signs of a global empire that is past its peak and is on the slope down. For me, I think it was the day I realized that all the institutions in the West are dead set on open borders (not just for the US but for all of the West) and the US will never have secure borders or stable demographics or a culture again. The US is essentially the open marriage of model of nationality. Its an extremely unhealthy relationship. The irony is that I want to live in a place that doesn't want migrants at all.

You are asking for things that are simply incompatible! A society with "restricted freedom" would be similar to what the West was like 100 years ago, or, say, what China and India are like today. People are capable of thinking beyond their own selfish interests. They accept society exists, there must be rules to keep people in place in good behaviour, and the common good trumps the narrow interests of any individual. Such societies have high degree of social solidarity and are ripe to boom. At some point, as people become wealthier and more independent, they become more narcissistic ("embracing freedoms" as you say). They stopped caring about other people. They see the State as just a nuisance. And they become what the US has become today, and then society declines. History is about the rise and fall of societies. Longer-lived societies like China, Persia, India, etc. have seen these cycles come and go.

I stopped caring about America on 9/11 when I watched 3 buildings collapse orderly into their basements after 2 were struck by planes and chaotic fires broke out. Two buildings collapsed after people ran in to rescue others, but the 3rd (admin center) building was evacuated... order does not spontaneously arise out of chaos. It was clear to me who was cared for in America. I moved overseas, faculty at medical schools and then director of an infectious disease research center (Asia and Africa). Returned to the US to serve in a foreign service agency as a senior policy advisor, and later I started a business based in Seattle doing similar work mostly in Asia. By 2014 the trend was clear, America was getting worse while other nations were rapidly getting better. The vibrant entrepreneurial atmosphere, the improving quality of life and love of family outside the U.S. has been the most telling indicator. The U.S. does not care about Americans, no matter how much they care about America. Sold my business and moved away in 2016. Last visit to Seattle, it was unrecognizable. Aside a few vanity buildings and toy trams, it's an expensive wreck. And yes, no one I have ever voted for has won.

You can not be happy and successful if you are not mentally well. I have been out of America for almost 3 years. My mental is so much better. Family trying to convince me to go back to America. Never. I’m not even a citizen. Why the hell do I want to live in a country that is not my own and makes me extremely unhappy?

That's because the US isn't a real country or society. It's every person for themselves. You probably learned like many other immigrants chasing the rat race - the so-called "American Dream" that is closer to a nightmare than a dream - that the narcissistic, extreme individualism and excessive consumption of the US does not make anyone happy. Real happiness is found in relationships, in a strong society, with real culture, and wholesome values diametrically opposite to the ideology of the US that "greed is good".

Where I can drive on roads not riddled with potholes and bumps. Where I don't have to worry about violence. And where Citizenship-based taxation is an aberration and needs to be repealed. But there is another more sinister form of 'taxation'. You won't see it in the media because the media gets that same money... The fact that in the US we have vested interests that lobby to keep prices high. From health insurance to prescription medications, from cable TV, internet, to cell phone services and even to airline tickets, Americans pay a lot more and get a lot less than what people get in other developed countries.

I never thought leaving both Canada and the USA till last week. I see that Trudeau and Biden are joined at the hip. See similar idiocy in Europe. So need to seriously consider global south

I think the fastest way to become successful is to have no loyalty. But with that being said, a more fulfilling life is to learn to overcome things for a sake of an idea, other than yourself

[@socialeconomicpoliticalana1128]

Throughout the world freedom and being a citizen of a country comes with some responsibility. It's not just vote, I did my part, leave me alone and walk away. You need to get involved and organize groups to holding elected officials and government agencies accountable. You need to be involved in politics from the local to national levels to make changes; simply relying on market forces, laissez-faire, and "don't tread on me" approach is not enough.

People need to stop addressing the United States as America. Mexicans are Americans, too, and so are Canadians and Chileans, et al.

[@stevebojo4378]

Is it called Mexico States of America? No. Is it called Canadian States of America? No. Mexicans and Canadian don't even call themselves Americas. Same as it goes with every other country on this continent .

Isnt voting for the "less tax" candidate voting for your own interests tho? Everyone votes for their own self interest.

It's like your argument for moving because your home country is becomming like an abusive spouse. If you want to really know what is going in your country it pays to listen to news from outside nations. As a dysfunctional family will never see the true depth of it's flaws from the inside. it takes an outside observer.

Fair point.

As I read through the comments section, I see many that mirror my own. I'm a veteran. I served 10 years and sacrificed everything until all that I have left is me. No family. No job. Untold debt. A lingering loathing and disgust for what this country has become. I once felt pride at being an American; now all I feel is embarrassment. America was once held in such high regards, and now because of "foreign policy" (another way of saying "Corporate Greed and Overreaching/ Aggressive Political Ambition"), many countries are now "America Neutral". Wonder why. Could it have been the how many times that U.S. banking institutions put the world economy in the toilet? The U.S. political engine interfering in another sovereign nation's internal affairs? Sadly, once I have finished with my Bachelors Degree, I am taking the two people that have been watching my back the last five years and we will be beginning our "exodus", leaving the U.S. in order to start anew in another country (preferably one with no strong U.S. ties).

What keeps Americans believing in America is not the U.S. Constitution, but the principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness expounded in the Declaration of Independence. And what causes them to ideologically or physically leave the United States is knowing that although in today's America the inalienable rights are alien, they remain universal, and thus can be practiced and lived elsewhere.

[@aycc-nbh7289]

But other democracies only seem intent on giving these rights to people of particular ethnicities.

[@pncicitap2519]

@@aycc-nbh7289 I think you meant to say that other democracies "only allow people of particular ethnicities to exercise these rights". Don't forget. Inalienable rights are inherent, innate, inborn. They are not handed out by governments. But governments do restrict them.

[@drmodestoesq]

@@pncicitap2519 But if your access to your "inalienable" rights is restricted by said government then they only exist as a Utopian ideal. Which sounds uncomfortably like Left Wing flakery.

Obama, July 13: There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me - because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t - look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something - there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.) If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business - you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires. So we say to ourselves, ever since the founding of this country, you know what, there are some things we do better together. That’s how we funded the GI Bill. That’s how we created the middle class. That’s how we built the Golden Gate Bridge or the Hoover Dam. That’s how we invented the Internet. That’s how we sent a man to the moon. We rise or fall together as one nation and as one people, and that’s the reason I’m running for President - because I still believe in that idea. You’re not on your own, we’re in this together
