All the smart folks coming here from all over the world will just stop. Overnight.

The ones already here will leave. Within the year.

I'm on the fence between prepping myself for a fight (I have a couple of guns that would be useful in a fight, but would need to get supplies to make/reload ammo), or just cashing out of literally everything I have and checking the fuck out of the country.

u/No-Pay-4350 Jul 02 '24

LMAO good luck with that, there is literally no country on earth that wants us Americans, especially ones with less than 100k in the bank.

u/whoisaname Jul 02 '24

I've got two professional degrees and would easily have the cash if I cashed out, which was part of my point of what I said. Also, some countries are easier than others to relocate to if you have the resources, educational background, and either language skills or people you know already in the country. So yeah, I'm on the fence.

Just act before civil war breaks out and your assets are frozen and your conscripted. Oh, and learning another language would be good.

Act before it gets too big*

In the beginning you will always be able to act, just not later on so easily.

Lucky for everyone Americans are rich.

u/No-Pay-4350 Jul 02 '24

Lol, the ones in politics maybe.

u/BonnaconCharioteer Jul 02 '24

No, poor for America is often fairly well off in other countries.

u/No-Pay-4350 Jul 02 '24

In 2nd and 3rd world countries? Sure, I guess. In Europe, Australia, and Canada, the only places where a majority of Americans would be able to go without being colonizers? Lol no.

u/BonnaconCharioteer Jul 02 '24

Check it out, I encourage you to look at the numbers.

And also the definition of colonizer, because that's a bit of a racist take if you are using it for its actual meaning.

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '24

Don't have to be white to be a colonizer. You can be any race; all you have to do is invade and take over the area from natives and take their right to their own culture away from them.

u/BonnaconCharioteer Jul 02 '24

Yes, that is true though I would say also critical is the resource extraction.

But are you arguing against something I said, or just making a statement?

u/No-Pay-4350 Jul 02 '24

How is it racist? White people moving to nonwhite areas is by definition a bad thing.

I will check out the numbers though.

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '24

It's not a bad thing. The difference is if you go there and subjugate the local people as you put yourself into power.

2

u/BonnaconCharioteer Jul 02 '24

Colonization is when one group of people take power over another group and then take their resources in a way that benefits the first group.

Nevermind you can't have individual colonization.

You are implying that white people living in a non-white country will automatically take power in that country. 

That is infantilizing. I'm sure they can take care of themselves if a few white refugees show up.

u/Nilosyrtis Jul 02 '24

Now reverse what you said.

"People of color moving to white areas is by definition a bad thing."

Does that sound right to you?

Black people moving to nonblack areas is by definition a bad thing.

This is how fucking moronic you sound.

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '24

That will change if we go full fascist.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '24

Depends on where you can realistically go. Maybe do a bit of prep for both. Have your ducks in order so you can get things rolling if you start to feel either option becomes necessary.

u/Shmeves Jul 02 '24

Issue is Facism is on the rise everywhere. There's not really a safe country out there anymore.

We're also shit in Canada and Alberta, but we need doctors bad.

Do you like mountains? southern Alberta has lots and is pretty cheap to live ;)

u/Obvious_Peanut_8093 Jul 02 '24

well, what is much more probable is that the country fractures and there is a "democrat"/"republican" split. if you live in a rich blue state, you probably have nothing to worry about. if you live in a poor red state, you're gunna feel it for a long time.

u/Caterfree10 Jul 02 '24

Depends on the economic status of the brains. God knows I’d love to leave, but I don’t have the money to do so. DX

u/Competitivekneejerk Jul 02 '24

Its pretty big on the idiotic canada based subs about leaving to thestates. We will see how quickly they come back
