    Can’t really fully outrun the decline and sociopolitical chaos of the West if you just go to a different “province” of the West, but that’s probably where they fit in the best so what other options do Americans have? They’re not gonna go to China (when just learning French is almost an impossibility), they’re not gonna go to the Gulf countries or idk Singapore (even though in the big cities I’m sure you can get your booze, and there are often softer laws for the pagans/polytheists/atheists/whatever and harsher laws for the local Muslims)… It doesn’t seem like they have more appealing choices and America keeps falling down the stairs so it’s kinda now or never.

      Right, so why leave at all? Just moving from the frying pan to the fire.

        Maybe you get two good decades before you have to run away again? Ideally, people stay and try to rebuild and whatnot but I understand their decision too.
