There is no saving an entire country from itself. You will exhaust yourself physically, mentally, and financially fighting a constant uphill battle against insane enemies with virtually unlimited resources.
Walk away.
Holding on to “I’m an American and I won’t give up” is a losing position. The owners of ‘murka rely on your nostalgia for a long-gone and never-returning era to control and manipulate you.
They want you to stay “loyal” and “patriotic” because that makes it cheaper and easier to treat you like the disposable asset that they consider you to be.
Walk away. There are plenty of better places to go, if you have the skills and courage.
You're probably right.
But I also see an opportunity to make what I want here.
Well, that’s up to you to judge. It may very well be better for you in America than it would be elsewhere.
Just don’t make the mistake of limiting your options by remaining loyal to an institution that has demonstrated time and time again that it feels no loyalty to you.
If a country like Russia offered me citizenship and a program to be introduced into Russian society, I'd take it.
You only have a limited time on this earth, and you don’t know when that time will be up.
Do you want to be happy and fulfilled, or do you want to waste your time trying to change something that isn’t going to change?
Very good way to think about it. Consistent with Atlas Shrugged.
I was a 48-state long haul trucker for 16 years. I once stopped for lunch in Taggart, UT. That was the inspiration site for Atlas Shrugged's Galt's Gulch. She passed thru there by train when moving from Chicago to California. It had the train tunnel thru the Rockies, the surname of the heroine, Dagny Taggart. That rain went thru Galt, CA (I used to work there).
And what's the idea behind Galt's Gulch? 'Just walk away from an unfixable system'.
