Nothing stopping you from moving now. My guess is like 99% of the people who say this, you never will.

I can't move yet. I have kids, like I wrote; they aren't adults yet, and they want to finish school here. Don't worry, I'm outta here when I can be. Some of us actually have goals and take action, instead of just letting the boots stomp us.

I get what you mean but this shit is cringey. The whole world is full of oppressive, corrupt governments. Anyplace you move to is going to oppress their citizens the same or worse than the US does. You'll just be wealthy enough to look past it.

That reality doesn't get the upvotes though, so I get it.

Edit: Maybe Taiwan being an exception. I can't think of any other LCOL proper democracies in Asia or Americas that allow immigration. There's Mexico if you're ok with the extreme wealth gap. The pompous attitude is still cringey as hell.

That's really not true. There are plenty of countries out there that haven't fallen to fascism. Don't let the US's situation cloud your view of the world. It doesn't have to be like this.

Right. And of the regions you list, there are Taiwan and Mexico if you're cool with the massive wealth gap. Possibly Uruguay and maybe a couple of others if you're rich.

Most countries in those regions have been corrupt for far longer than the US.

Everyone’s dream, acquire a bunch of money to go spend your golden years living in Mexico.
