I'm moving. I you look at history, the way it's historically worked is that a country, for whatever reason, finds itself in a position of global power, it becomes hyperactively restrictive over the course of decades by slowly eroding civil liberties via "think of the children" bullshit campaigns. Then, when the time is right, a person who is perfectly willing to fully use all the draconian powers granted to him--the ones that people naively assumed would be interpreted "reasonably"--will create some of a police state.<p>Those states tend to implode after a while (normally with the death of the leader). But when it's all happened, it's too late. It's difficult to escape after that, and the damage is done.<p>So you leave. You leave the USSR for Europe. You leave China for the USA.<p>Then when the USA, UK, et al start feeling suspiciously like the USSR used to, you find a country that's on the correct side of the political pendulum, and go there.<p>The first phase of my plan to leave was to get geographically and financially independent. That's done. The next is picking the right place, and getting there.<p>That's what you do.
