Yes the British colonies were all given FAKE Bills of Rights so people are tricked into FEELING like they have rights but there are loopholes put in so the government has absolute control whenever they are threatened or see fit. The British saw how fucked they were once the US constitution was put in place and corrected their mistakes.

The irony of Americans mentioning Iran so much is that by far the worst hardship Iranians feel is the American sanctions, which the UN calls "illegal", without any ambiguity or qualification.

[@jayd6813]

Same with Cuba and Venezuela - the US sanctions to make the people and economy of the country suffer (with hopes that it will cause dissent and overthrow of the leadership), then says "look how bad it is there". There is a chance that the BRICS countries will sanction the US is certain terms, especially the worthless US dollar - that will be amusingly ironic.

One thing I've learned the past few years is how utterly pointless it is to attempt to engage or reason with any of these people; on either side of the argument. You have exactly zero chance of changing any minds so any effort to do so is wasted.
Andrew talks a lot about taxation and economic freedom and those are important matters to be sure but I personally, being retired and already quite financially secure, am less concerned about those things and more focused on things like polarization, cultural rot and societal decay. That is what I want to get away from. I have neither the desire nor the energy to spend my golden years in that kind of poisonous environment.
You want to call me a quitter and a traitor for doing so? Fine, knock yourself out. I'll try to find a couple of spare minutes sometime to give a f*ck about what you think.

Right there with you. We are not getting any younger, and I've already spent 20 years of my precious life fighting. I have very little to show for my efforts. Much easier to vote with my feet and a jet airplane.

[@crypticnomad]

Addressing the first paragraph: It really is a new phenomena. You can pick nearly any arbitrary point in US history, over say a decade ago, and find a healthy amount of bipartisan stuff going on but now that is rare. To be fair there has always been a bit of bickering back and forth and mostly about what I think is largely meaningless stuff in practical terms but now we're getting that bickering over really important things that never would have happened in the past.
In addition to this there is what I call "recreational outrage" and it happens on both sides, I can point to ample examples. That is where someone just makes up something and then gets outraged by the nonsense they made up. This nonsense is always directed at the "other side" which pisses them off because it is nonsense that makes them look really bad if someone is gullible or doesn't bother to fact check things. Recreational outrage is almost a new sport.
If I disagree with a point made by a person who is labeled as a conservative then obviously I must be against every conservative person and conservative idea, similarly if I disagree with a person who is labeled as a liberal then obviously I must be against every liberal person and every liberal idea. The issues are this "us vs them" mentality, a lack of nuance, and recreational outrage.

[@ReverendDr.Thomas]

leftism:
Otherwise known as “progressivism” and even more inaccurately as “liberalism”, leftism is a term originating from the French Revolution of 1789, in reference to the political faction that opposed the French (so-called) king. However, the term is currently used in common discourse to describe those criminals who actively support (or at least tacitly condone) a host of OBJECTIVELY-WICKED ideologies and practices that contravene dharma, such as non-monarchical governances and corrupt economic systems (particularly socialism, communism, fascism, and liberal democracies), egalitarianism, feminism, perverse sexuality (especially homosexuality, bestiality, and transvestism), multiculturalism, and the illegitimate abortion of innocent, defenceless, unborn children. Cf. “dharma”.
In the past decade or two (of this treatise being composed), the mass media, especially the motion picture industry and television production companies, has been aggressively promoting all the above CRIMINAL ideologies and practices, helping to expedite the destruction of human civilization. Recently, large corporations have jumped on the leftist bandwagon (so to speak), in order to profit.
As explicated in Chapter 11 of this “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”, the state of being of any particular human (or any other animal, for that matter) is due entirely to his or her genetic sequencing and his or her conditioning. Therefore, the explosion of the leftist/liberal mentality in recent decades, particularly in Western countries, has been caused by poor breeding strategies overtaking the more conservative tradition of mate-selection of previous centuries (and indeed, millennia), as well as the concerted effort of Marxists to spread their nefarious ideology throughout the school system. In other words, due to the fact that criminal behaviour (especially the deviant sexual acts mentioned above) has become increasingly more tolerated, condoned, and even GLORIFIED in most countries, there has been a proliferation of corrupt genetic codes within the wider human population.
According to genealogists, for (almost) the entire history of humanity, most women have successfully reproduced, whilst a far far smaller percentage of males have bequeathed their genetic sequence to proceeding generations. Due to the gradual phasing-out of polygamous marriages in even the most conservative societies, as well as the eradication of poverty in most every country, more and more men (as well as women) have been producing offspring. Thus, the human genome has rapidly become adulterated by inferior genetic material (that is, DNA from truly pathetic, uxorious beta-males, bisexuals, and even homosexual couples who engage surrogate mothers or sperm donors in order to conceive children - something of a rare occurrence in previous centuries/millennia).
For centuries, breeders of elite animals such as horses, cattle, and dogs, have known that selecting the finest examples of a breed of animal will result in offspring with desirable characteristics. For example, present day thoroughbred horses boast a pedigree of the best-available horses from the seventeenth century. Such breeders are willing to pay enormous sums of money merely to hire the fastest stallions on earth in order for them to mate with their mares. In the case of we humans, women have traditionally chosen the most competent and masculine men with whom to bear children, and in general, have totally eschewed those males who displayed effeminate traits, and who showed themselves incapable of properly supporting a nuclear family. Unfortunately, due to rapid moral decay over the past few decades, Western women have become extremely sexually promiscuous, resulting in a multiplication of unwanted progeny (and, of course, an escalation of abortions). Boys born to single mothers often lack proper male roles models and invariably become feminized, unable (and often unwilling) to continue a strong lineage of progenitors. The solution to this problem is simply to ensure that society adheres to the principles of DHARMA (see the Glossary definition of that term, as well as Chapter 12).
Unsurprisingly, the majority of leftists find it difficult to accept the fact that their criminal mentality is largely inherited (and of course, they are unwilling to acknowledge the blatantly-obvious fact that their ideologies and practices are intrinsically sinful, wicked, evil and immoral in the first place!). It seems the consensus amongst leftist “intellectuals” is that every human mental trait is due entirely to one’s environmental conditioning and social milieu, rather than as a consequence of BOTH one’s genetic sequence and one’s life-long conditioning - a fundamentally-flawed assertion that cannot be scientifically supported. I would not be surprised if the typical leftist would believe that, if the parents of the twentieth century communist tyrant, Joseph Stalin, and the parents of the Divine Incarnation, Lord Jesus Christ, had somehow crossed the time barrier, and exchanged their baby boys shortly after their birth, that Stalin would have grown to become a Prophet for God, whilst Christ would have become a murderous, left-wing dictator!
This term was very reluctantly used in the chapter on feminism. I say “reluctantly” because it is unlikely that the term will perdure for many decades longer. This is simple deductive logic, since, as clearly demonstrated in certain chapters in “F.I.S.H”, human civilization cannot survive with such leftist practices and ideologies in place. If you happen to be reading this Holy Scripture a century or more after its conception, you will probably be residing in a nation (as opposed to a country) ruled by a monarch, following the implosion of post-modern, decadent societies. So, either the term “leftism” will eventually become redundant and obsolete, or else, human civilization will devolve into a decadent, diseased state of existence similar to that of the prehistoric era, when the peoples of the world resided in caves or shacks, subsisting on whatever food can be sourced from the surrounding bushland. I trust that you who are reading these wise words will endeavour to influence your social circles to adhere to right-leaning ideologies and practices, such as (above all) monarchical governance, an entirely free-market economy, sexual purity, veganism, and all other virtuous principles.
Fear not, for God is with you!
P.S. As a general rule, it seems (at least anecdotally) that the farther left-leaning is a person, the more physically (and of course, psychologically) UGLY is that person. Unfortunately, that does not seem to prevent leftists from propagating their mutant genes.🤡
N.B. In order to clarify the notion of inheritability, it is not being claimed that an adharmic (far-left) couple will INVARIABLY produce leftist children, but that it is more PROBABLE that they will do so, considering their genetic sequence and the environmental conditioning they are bound to impart to their children, just as two parents with a certain physiological disorder are more likely to generate offspring with that specific disease. In this regards, it is recommended to study introductory texts on epigenetics. 🧬
In my particular case, I was raised by a staunch communist, and so, was indoctrinated to believe that communism was the best course of action for a just society. Indeed, as a teenager, I even volunteered in the election campaign of a socialist politician, who eventually became the Premiere of the state of Western Australia. However, after studying dharma, I came to learn that I was misled by my father in this regard, and that the only system of governance that is dharmic (legitimate) is a divinely-sanctioned monarchy.

Is it the worst country? Absolutely not. But it’s not the best in all categories and I’ll venture that it IS the worst on safety for a “developed nation”. US is still probably the best place to still make money with hard work. IMO, the best way to use the US is to come here, earn your money. Live frugally with as many roommates as you can, don’t put down roots. Invest as much money as you can and leave as soon as you’re making enough money off of your investments to live comfortably in another country.

That's certainly not the case so I left. I feel more free when I'm in Eastern Europe and my lifestyle is far higher than if I was in the USA or my country of birth Australia. The combination of increasing investment returns, lowering taxes and lowering the cost of living literally supercharges your standard of living.

First, let me say that I am on board with what you say and promote but this situation is not about her paying hight taxes on her income. She is trashing the US because she feels that she has been oppressed. She was not oppressed and has been offered great opportunities. She is crying about politics, left ideology and black victimhood. She should be calling you to begin her relocation instead of calling the US trash.

[@atmosphereoasis9564]

[@IssisLinn]

Not the US but I migrated to Australia a decade back. before that I live a few yrs in Singapore, Japan and finally decide to stay in Australia and got my Residency. Now I'm moving back slowly to my original country Myanmar coz after decade of living here i realize that the type of Freedom and system i prefer are more align with my original country.
That doesn't mean I'll be staying in there. i might move to Phuket after i settle all my investment there. After almost 2 decade of living abroad on most westernized country i realize their ppls are more of the brainwashed than others that they're accused of. Ppls here don't know they been brainwashed, in asia at least ppls know what propaganda look like.

"If you don't like it, you should move to Iran." My husband was born in Iran and was sent to the U.S. around the age of 12. I was born in Ohio. We live in Florida, but we would like to go to Iran to visit and/or move there. Does Nomad Capitalist advise about moving to Iran? There are some restrictions on money, such as they don't take payment in our types of credit cards. We are retired seniors on social security. Thanks.

[@crypticnomad]

I served in the US military and I've always thought that extreme patriotism and nationalism(different but kinda similar) were irrational. To me it is less rational than an extreme pride in one's physical appearance and most people consider that narcissistic. Not everything has to be rational and a good amount of what people do is actually pretty irrational depending on the point of view but in general extreme patriotism and nationalism is a lot like someone saying McDonald's is the best restaurant in the world. While someone is within their basic human rights to hold that subjective opinion, it is not true in any objective sense of the word if it is compared to almost any other group of restaurants. In fact to even make that statement one has to do some pretty serious mental gymnastics.

[@cebastiensamedi]

Well some people in USA brainwash themselves into thinking they are the opposite gender, the mental gymnastic for McDonald's would not be that extreme. 😂

[@crypticnomad]

@@cebastiensamedi Hey, I got one of the "parrot people" to comment on my stuff, nice! A "parrot person" is a person who just mindlessly repeats the stuff they like the sound of. They are almost always extremely biased when it comes to politics too. So maybe "bias-tard parrot person" is a good label for them. Maybe try not being a parrot person some time, maybe you'll like actually thinking for yourself for once.

[@cebastiensamedi]

@@crypticnomad I'll take that into consideration, i can see how my comment might have being taken the wrong way, i am not from the USA, i am just looking at things from the outside, and certain things just do not make a lot of sense for me who have grown up in a different country and culture. I had the intention to express my opinion in a funny way, i neglected the fact the it could be received as disrespectul too, and i take the blame for that. I think in a certain way we are all a "parrot person" in our own right, since we tend to talk more about subjects that align with ourself.

[@crypticnomad]

@@cebastiensamedi wow, I apologize too. I also didn't take into consideration how strange it may appear to someone from a different culture. So I'll try to explain as best as I understand. I'm a stereotypical heterosexual American male, I wouldn't label myself as woke or anything, but I do see there being a concept of a "third sex". While literally speaking the overwhelming majority of the human species, and all other mammals(most reptiles too) have binary sexes which we label as male/female(obviously, not insulting anyone's intelligence with that hopefully) culturally there are many incidents throughout time and space where there was a concept of a "third sex" which is somewhere between the two literal/objective sexes of the species and isn't really one or the other per se. In Hawaiian culture, where I grew up, and most other Polynesian cultures the word used to describe a person who is attracted to the same sex is "mahu" and a trans person would be "mahu-mahu" which the word "mahu" would literally translate into "balance" as in like old school balance scales. So in Hawaiian culture a mahu-mahu, or trans person, was seen as being balanced on two levels whereas so-called normal people were seen as being biased or polar on one end or the other of a spectrum. Basically people back in the day would go to mahu-mahu to try and work out interpersonal problems, or basically like a tribal relationship counselor or something, and because they were seen as being able to see from both the male and female biased perspective. Thai culture is an example of one who has had a tradition of trans for a long time too and is often called "lady boy" or something like that. Some cultures it is wrong and some it isn't. I say if it is wrong in one culture but not in another and nobody's getting hurt then it is objectively not wrong. Just because some people don't like something doesn't mean it is wrong in any objective sense of the word.

[@cebastiensamedi]

@@crypticnomad Thanks to you, i have learn a couple of new things today. In my culture and country the concept of transitioning from a gender to another doesn't really exist, it's fairly new to me. I have tried to make it make sense to me, but couldn't. At the end, i do respect people choices, even tho i cannot fully grasp their logic. Sometimes it's deeper than that, i can't imagine how hard it is to feel trap in the wrong body, and i understand why people try to find ways to love themselves and feel comfortable in their own skin. I'll try to be more respectful with my words in the future.

[@shebasamused]

Just because Natasha Cloud didn’t use wording that makes you comfortable doesn’t mean that you don’t agree with her. You really did leave and you regularly help other people leave, so your feelings are strong. We get the message. Your business is built on letting people like her understand that they have options 🤔 she can probably afford to leave also. What makes America great is being able to speak up about it when things aren’t so great. That’s how we improve 💜

To defend the basketball player to an extent, as a member of the most targeted group for hate crimes in the USA (not the basketball players group or whoever he thinks he's talking about), yeah, they would rather waste their time. In California instead of doing a good deed by giving food or a job to those living in tents and RV's, they dumped scores of shellfish at the front door of a Jewish group. It's not the country, it's the people and culture of some. BTW, in 199x I heard that in some places in the US has a larger administrative state than the USSR ever did. What do you think that's like now?

[@eddiemalvin]

I'll always have a special place in my heart for the US but, like any relationship, when it "breaks" and all attempts to repair it have been unsuccessful, you need to move on.
I've visited many countries and Switzerland, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Germany all look like wonderful settings for Life Part Two.

[@CowboyTay]

Andrew, I have a serious question. Being from the U.S., do you think that you need to have more than one country in order to obtain all the "good" qualities that a western country has? I know you use the trifecta for different reasons, but despite all the issues the U.S. has, it does have good qualities, so I am curious if your combination of countries is necessary to capture all the good aspects or if you feel like you can capture those with just one other country? Thanks.

Well, the USA is a free country because we are a secular nation! I like to tell religious fundamentalists to move to Iran because they might like it better. I also think communists should move to Cuba, Venezuela, China, or North Korea. Put your money where your mouth is and live by example! Also, it's still a mostly free country, I am a citizen, not a subject and I will say what I want! Thanks to the GOP, several Southern States are less free than others, which is ironic because I thought conservatives were for less government intrusion?

Also (and I will say it because, of course, no one will), living in Russia is not much worse than living in the US.
The level of plutocracy and wealth/poverty divide is about the same, the police state is about the same, the aggressive policy, foreign and domestic, is about the same, partisan media are about the same, the level of democracy (in practice, where it counts) is about the same, and the corruption is about the same. (On the latter, are you thinking 'Russian oligarchs'? Look up how many members of the US Congress are not millionaires, sprinkle that with big oil, big pharma, big tobacco, Wall Street, the NRA, and all the other major lobbying groups, and bon appetit.) Oh, and income tax? Russia has a flat 13% tax rate (with very few exceptions), plus free healthcare, and free education. So, while it is not the easiest of places to live, it is not much worse or much more challenging to live there, certainly not much worse than the US.
