What's there to talk about? We're all fucked and we all know it.
1. Plenty, such as when, where, and how to prevent it. If a comet was coming would we all just ignore the subject until it hit us?
2. Some folks around here don't seem to understand, or believe at all, that things really are bad now. They just plod along thinking "it's always been kinda bad but not too bad... this is just more of the same."
Sadly they're wrong this time, there are many huge indicators, and this isn't even one of the biggest ones... So I guess there is always the wake up call to talk about, which I seem to be the only one with any passion for around here.
The part that bothers me is there is no place for us to go. Like, I guess there are a few places you can go that don't have harsh government control, but not really. And the places available to go are not a majority of white people, not sure I'd want to go someplace where I was the minority, unless Asians were the majority.
What is the country everyone seems to like? LukeP and Gurilla both like it, I think. Singapore?
Actually no, Singapore and HK are both very free comparred to the US but their downsides are Huge.
Chile, however, is even more free than those two countries, and it's downsides are extremely small.
This is a subject Simon Black covers in extreme detail. After he started building
the first Libertarian community down there several years ago, there
have already been others following suit.
To paraphrase Simon, the benefits of Chile are:
- It's Economically sound with a small government.
- It's economy is booming.
- Taxes are very low and their tax code is short and sane.
- The gov there allows for very strong property rights.
- There is very minimal corruption, no bribery in sight.
- Starting a legal business there takes a few minutes, even for americans!
- It's well developed & modern. Really. Looks like LA in the bigger cities.
- People are civilized & stable, with an independent mindset.
- Pick your ideal climate; Chile's got it.
- It's frigging gorgeous there, with the Andes's tallest peaks only 2 hours away from some of the best beaches on the planet. (And great cities like Santiago right inbetween.)
Santiago:
I'll be visiting for the first time later this year, but there's little hurry since I'm pretty safe here in BKK too.
I just wish we could get a state like Texas or Alaska or something, and break off from the union, a new libertarian country with a majority of whites.
Chances of this happening: 0.00%.
Move along now; time to find something that IS possible.
I never understood how someone would buy gold and not actually take possession of it, instead they get some stupid certificate.
There seem to be many different ways to buy into gold, and yeah, certificates for it sound by far the most stupid to me too. Owning stock in mining companies is the runner up in my mind for stupidity, since it's still vulnerable to stock market fuckups.
However not everyone has a well-fortified cabin in the woods like you bro; holding onto physical gold is kinda scary for ppl who live in apartments (like me) and for wussies who wouldn't own a gun. (Like eurofags.
)
Then of course keeping it in a safe deposit box at a bank is a popular choice, but of course the government can and does already confiscate those, wiping out a lifetime of wealth building... So clearly that sucks, unless you can get the bank out of a government's jurisdiction.
That's where ViaMat came in. They are global with banks in tons of different countries... No one government could steal your wealth from them... But today we found out that one country CAN force them to drop their citizens... So it's still not a perfect solution for americans.
Your best bet? Move to Chile, Singapore, HK, or Thailand and become a resident. (There may be other countries, like Nicaragua, Uraguay & some Caribbean islands, but those four are big & sound.) Get your money far away from the clutches of the evil empire.
