Escape To Anarchy

I am reading medieval history and delighted with the stories of Roman citizens fleeing to the barbarian lands to get away from Roman "order" in early medieval times.  Escape to anarchy!  They may start over with nothing when they get there, but at least they will be free to build something good, even if from scratch.

Here is a fellow who has a widely followed website on how to break free from the USA.  He hides his true identity but he vaguely suggests his background is in intelligence work.  As usual the comments are better than blog articles, and in this one a fellow objects to people escaping the USA.

Aside from the possibility this website is collecting info on people who desire to escape the USA for the USA (doubt it, did you know Gloria Steinem was a CIA asset?) if things go bad for USA and around the world, about the last place an American is going to want to be is outside the USA.  If you are rich and American, expect the locals to disappropriate you.  Who are you going to get to help you, Uncle Sam?  If you are poor and outside the USA, you will learn what it is like to be black in USA.  Uncle Sam is looking forward to shaking down Americans returning home after escaping.

Let me explain a very important point:  those people overseas who were educated in USA in the 70s 80s 90s got advancement over any locals in business and government.  Envy followed.  Now that the USA has generated such disaster worldwide, those people who benefitted from their USA association are now on the defensive.  They must be doubly anti-american as a matter of self-preservation.

Badmouthing USA yourself will do not good.  It only makes things worse, because if you know our policies are bad, why are you not resisting?  My strategy is to point out we small merchants are disdained wherever we go, I've got enough problems without having to answer for Uncle Sam?  (I was very happy to be able to explain I refused to join in the US invasion of Vietnam as a conscientious objector.  When I explained the difference between a draft dodger and a conscientious objector, that was a real head scratcher.  "You mean, you do not have to go to war, even in a draft, but they came anyway?"  Yep.)

Escape to Anarchy happens when the capitals are looted by invaders, very extreme stuff.  The Ming army opened the gates of the Great Wall to let in the anarchic Qing to rule China.  North African Christians welcomed Moslems to overthrow Roman oppression.

As Dr. Hans Sennholz advised, the powers that be have very many options to exercise before "the end" before escape to anarchy is preferable to staying put.  Right now you can "escape to anarchy" right here. Just get self-employed.
