1) there is no where to run, the entire world is run by the same globalist machine and the trajectory is neo-feudal enslavement.
2) stop wasting time with risk assessments and trying to find where to flee and instead use that time and eneergy to FIX IT. It's a Republic IF you can keep it, remember?
Here is how:
We first need to build a platform of local strength, self-reliance, and resiliency. Once done, and we have a solid foundation from which to stand, from there we begin working on taking back the higher levels: county, state, federal.
The following solutions were crowdsouced from various forums across the web. I have distilled them into this:
The solution is to get local, get self-reliant, get the common unity back in community by building webs of resilience with your neighbors, get control of your school boards, mayors and sheriff's office, and town councils (the last places we still hold all of the cards), get a garden in your lawn no matter how small, a single tomato plant is better than nothing, get a well (water is your most important resource hands down), get ready, get moving, get doing, and, if so inclined, get God.
Everyone is looking for a savior instead of looking in the mirror. We are the ones we've been waiting for - Don't build a bigger fence against your neighbor, bulld a bigger table and let's all get together and solve this.
What I find interesting here is not just the data itself, but the framing around fear. Most people treat fear as a signal to slow down or dismiss the idea entirely. But in reality it often means the calculation has already started. The mind is already weighing trade-offs: stability vs optionality, familiarity vs mobility.
Your point about the narrative not matching the data is important. Public conversation tends to reduce complex decisions into stereotypes - either reckless escape or dramatic political protest. In practice, most people considering relocation are doing something much more mundane: quietly running numbers, testing scenarios, and asking whether their current system still makes sense.
Forty-three thousand conversations doesn’t necessarily mean forty-three thousand moves. But it does show that a lot of people are thinking structurally about where they live and why. That alone says something about the moment we’re in.
I am retired, so money is limited. But I have researched the retirement visa in Portugal. I would move, but my partner of 31 years refuses to leave the country. Bummer. The person above who said the entire world is run by the same globalist machine and the goal is neo-feudal enslavement is right, but I have less time and less faith in our ability to fix the U.S. This regime is ugliest I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a LOT of ugly regimes right here in the good ol’ USA.
Many of us don’t have the stability or roots home ownership. Many of us are watching the security and optionality we worked decades to establish not only never come to fruition, but what we thought we may have painstakingly established crumbling beneath our feet. And many of us are seeing an inability to move the cultural or operational needle within our current sphere. We are wondering if we might have more community and influence over the mess we - yes - all find ourselves in, within a different jurisdiction. This isn’t easy.
I’ve been following you here and on your Discord group pretty much from the start. I’ve thought about moving to Europe for years - initially because I just really wanted the experience of living in another country and later because I wanted to get the hell out of the US. We are retired, no kids, parents gone. We have the means to go. But in spite of how things keep getting worse here and the screams of “the sky is falling” get louder, I cannot convince myself that moving will make me safer in any meaningful way or make my life better in the long run.
We are in our late 60s. We own our home in a blue city. Our assets are in retirement accounts. Our financial future is tied to the US dollar and I don’t see how that would change no matter where we live. I choose not to be governed by fear. We are fortunate. We are resilient. We’re staying.
We are privileged....I think a whole group may be left out of this analysis? Those who feel they need to leave, and are going through plans A, B, C. Those who maybe moved to a more urban area, a blue state after election but still don't feel safe
Two points to make here:
1) there is no where to run, the entire world is run by the same globalist machine and the trajectory is neo-feudal enslavement.
2) stop wasting time with risk assessments and trying to find where to flee and instead use that time and eneergy to FIX IT. It's a Republic IF you can keep it, remember?

Thanks for sharing, Bryan.

If you don’t know of it already, look at Stages of Change by Prochaska and DiClemente. Your analysis fits into the 5 stages of change:
- Precontemplation
- Contemplation
- Preparation
- Action
- Maintenance
Your analysis covers the 5 stages of change. Your work in Borderless Living makes you a change agent. Keep up the excellent work, and thank you.
