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.

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.

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.

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.

I left the US more than 10 years ago myself from the Northeast to a high-tax European country. At the end of the day I'm paying about what I was paying in the US (close to 40%) but with a few big differences. What I get is a society where there are social goods-- health care, longer life expectancy, food that isn't tainted by herbicides, insecticides, hormones or antibiotics. 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. Which amounts to nothing more than a corruption tax on what they think are free market services...when they are nothing more than rigged in DC by (and profits) . Those are worse than taxes- those surplus charges are corruption, plain and simple. A legal mafia-style tax.

Another thing yall have to keep in mind is the third world and developing countries are becoming more innovative than first world already developed countries third world and developing countries are able to do this without becoming too modernized because there capitalizing off of there agriculture and great infrastructure

Is Uganda a good move? I’ve been invited to live with a family for awhile and now I’m considering it because it’s a country, not a nation.I’m not interested in living in the states anymore. Thank you 🙏

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

Warm regards from Canada🇨🇦🙏🇺🇸, oh you should see the garbage we deal with in Canada: Discrimniation against White Canadians by new immigrants😀😀, high taxes, high cost of rent, non existnant health care, and lots of stealing by government officials. A lot of Canadian born citizens are moving to the US. Your situation is way better, but, of course, you know more than I do. 🌹🙏 Great channel. Thanks👑.

Don't disparage Canada - a superior country to the USA and people in all ways.

[@FaithPetrov]

@@landonbarretto4933Hahaha yeah Canada is too superior, especially the Indian that stole $48 Millions from the Canadian gov't in Ontario. Do not you ever think that we are sleeping.

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.

[@nomadcapitalist]

Fair point.

If I was younger and had less baggage, I would be out of this hellhole of a country.

Past couple years I started letting go of my 'Oughta, Shoulda', and embracing my DGASNM.

No matter how many times you reinforce that you are politically neutral as far as parties and team politics go, no matter how many times you plead logic to political decision making....the senseless will bring out the long knives for you. They will ignore everything except a few triggers and damn you.

[@magdastar2249]

They do not even accept statistics.

[@nomadcapitalist]

True.

Historical Reference to Ponder: The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire a six-volume work by the English historian Edward Gibbon. Gibbons traces Western civilization from the height of the Roman Empire to the fall of Byzantium in the fifteenth century. You & your team were insightful enough to foresee, even from an individual basis, in similarity to one climbs the Mountain and looks down from whence he came and says: Holy Shxt! Why did I put up with all that? They're flipping me off! I need to get to the 'other side' of the Mountain, because it sure looks much more inviting than climbing back down from whence, I did come! Wow, the other side of the mountain have people who are waving at me as a friend! I ought to go there and find out who these nice people are. Surprise!

[@Peteowen]

Hats off to you. Thank you for all you do and absolutely love love love your perspective on everything !

[@nomadcapitalist]

Thank you so much!

When he said that you didn't build that he was talking about infrastructure. Pretty much all businesses benefit greatly from infrastructure and most of them didn't build that infrastructure. There are of course some exceptions like Amazon but they are few and far between. That message resonated with a lot of people. I stopped being politically involved when Bernie was more or less ousted by his own party twice and the candidates that I adamantly didn't care for were pushed through by the party twice. On top of that as long as our elections are based on plurality then candidates will win that represent the minority. None of the parties represent me or have a place for me. On top of pluralities America also has a strong issue with fascism. It just loves fascism. Democratic party probably 50% fascist. Republican party 75% fascist. Now there's a new corporate party that is all about being fascist. The corporations pick the candidate and run everything. The government isn't for the people. It's for corporations. I, as a voter, have no place in it anymore. All I can do is watch from the sidelines as large corporations form alliances (special interest groups) and duke it out with each other. Candidates should have corporate logos all over their suits like Nascar so that you atleast know which corporations you're voting for. You're not voting to be represented. You're voting for which group of corporations you want to win. Ultimately power is going to consume any political system. A lot of people don't pay attention to politics. They don't necessarily know that America is a fascist state. They're too busy being grinded into stone by corporations to think about anything. There are a lot of issues I have with America as well as capitalism. Land is way too OP to be allowed to be owned by private individuals : /. Capitalism only worked when there was way more than enough land to go around. Now that there isn't it's failing the vast majority of people. Maybe when we start expanding to other planets land won't be as OP anymore but for now it is wildly unbalanced and desperately needs a patch. Another wildly OP thing is automation. It didn't used to be OP but nowadays it is to the point that it is a detriment to the vast majority of the population. A single person with a lot of resources can run an entire empire by themselves solely via automation. They won't need anyone else. They can control all of the land, achieve military power.. imagine a country of only 1 citizen ; ). That's how OP automation is. If you aren't automating then you are going to get ditched because the people you are serving are going to automate you out of existence =P. Will literally destroy economies because people won't have need of others anymore. Automation needs a wild nerf =). We need to redefine the our society around these new realities: land scarcity and automation. If we don't then we're heading headlong into a dystopian future far worse than anything we've seen to date in fiction.

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
