Escaping the United States -

[mr spongecake]

I know Josh has discussed multiple times on his streams that it's a good idea to escape the US. I assume that is not a controversial position to take here, but the question remains: how? There are a limited number of skills and jobs one can get that would allow them to move anywhere and work completely independent of the country they are in. I think Josh is in a unique position where he has really created something amazing (KF) and is just getting fucked over by Payment Processors and Banks; if the comptroller's regulation is enacted properly and everything goes according to plan (fingers crossed) he is in a very good position to make money long term, plus he has the skills he developed over years of keeping this place up with countries pointing nuclear artillery at it.

Any of you here have any plans on ways to effectively escape America and still continue to make money? My current profession (traditional engineering) does not lend itself well to travel. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Learn2code, or failing that, graphic design is a decent option to be mobile.

 

[Smug Chuckler]

Learn to Code, become a Bitcoin Billionaire, or join a mercenary group and shoot sand people.

Josh also says that basically every other country is a shithole.

But yea. Have fun.

 

[albert chan]

Learn different languages, including Chinese and Japanese. Learning about coding is second nature, but not to the tech-illiterate.

He's not wrong, but then it's all about perspective

Large metropolitan areas are all mostly the same, yes.

 

[The Shadow]

Do it the old fashioned way and join the French Foreign Legion.

 

[Radical Cadre]

Or learn some decent survival and social skills and escape into the United States. There's so much open space and lots of friendly people. It isn't hard to get away from the madness and still live in the best and most-free country on Earth.

go to brazil

Seek refugee status in Russia to trigger controversy

There’s a few places you can move to. I’ve lived abroad for about three years in Paraguay and about half a year in Mexico for work. It’s not nearly as bad as I thought it’d be and you can get some decent places for dirt cheap. Honestly, I felt that LA and some major cities up here were way more dangerous. Honestly it’s not a bad idea, especially if you can learn to code or find some other remote job. Dollars go a lot farther too. You don’t have to do it forever either, you can just do it while paying off debt or you can invest a lot, but if you have a decent tech job you can live like a king. Hell, if you had a mediocre remote job that pays in US dollars you can live like a king.

I wouldn’t recommend moving if you’re doing it because you’re depressed, black pilled, or have blue balls. You’ll only feel worse or even more stressed out. Moving won’t change who you are or your mental health.

 

[Massa's Little Buckie]

Move to the Caribbean.

 

[Yog-Sothoth]

Do whatever the chinks tell you to?

 

[Postal_Dude]

Josh is a fucking retard. Don't listen to him.

But to answer your question, prolly just join the military to shoot beard people.

 

[LargeChoonger]

Ideally, we all band together and raid navy scrapyards to create a giant steel galleon the size of a city and go wherever we want

 

[Jewthulhu]

You're better off just moving to a rural area and learning to be self-sufficient outside of the culture. You probably shouldn't move to another country unless you have familial or religious ties to the place.

go to brazil

HUE HUE HUE

There are a number of potential options. Coding, yes. Anything online requiring freelance.

I know of a few individuals who finance their international lifestyle by being teleworking truck dispatches, but that requires a little experience. The entry to that field is 9-11 emergency dispatch, which has a very low bar of entry and good pay and benefits. Soul destroying work.

They're are a number of potential jobs in the western world that are seasonal and also have a pay rate that would enable international travel in the off season. Anything in northern oil fields, a number of pretty good agricultural jobs, wildfire or land management agency seasonal technical work (range technicians, biologists). Also to consider is any job that pays reasonably well and is self directed, so that yearly sabaticals visiting potential locations can be undertaken.

Another thing to take into consideration is that with modest savings and learning a hands-on skillset, you can very quickly establish an upper middle class lifestyle in a third world shithole by starting a business funded with your first world job. The actual value of your total assets would decrease, but quality of life may increase. Depends on the location. Many countries have provisions for visa extensions for those starting business, and a citizenship path for those with a investment threshold.

Or just commit massive credit fraud, ditch out with all of it in Monero, and larp as Mcfee.

Do it the old fashioned way and join the French Foreign Legion.

They've been trying to cut back on western applicants for a good long time now, especially if they do not speak any French. For some reason I remember reading that a lot of Mongolians are joining.

LEARN TO SWIM
LEARN TO SWIM

real answer: learn to homestead, stay off the radar as much as possible, form networks with people whom you trust.

several insane r*ght wingers believe that we are on the verge of civilizational collapse (within a couple hundred years) so forming smol communities now might not be a bad idea.

 

[Chive Turkey]

Fuck off, we're full.

t. the rest of the planet

In all seriousness though, where the fuck else would you run to? The US at least is sparse, lawful and decentralized enough to provide some stay of execution from the powers that be, most of the world is a lot worse in that regard. If you have to ask us for advice to find some Third World country to emigrate to, then that probably means it isn't that great an idea to begin with.
