The Time For Running From Home Is Ending

From time to time, I get into discussions with others about relocating out of the United States.

What I said a few years ago is that the long-term trend will be against expatriation through a combination of rising global nationalist sentiment, the abuses of locals by Globohomo, Red Dynasty, and now Curry Confederation factions (corporations, NGOs, etc.), and the global economic system shitting the bed.

That is now coming to pass.

You're seeing stories like this happen multiple times a week; this particular story was one I first saw in Firstpost before it made it to Simon's Media Empire and the China Watcher network.

There is increasing ethnic tension worldwide as locals everywhere are getting damn sick and tired--and increasingly violent--about having foreigners imposed upon then that, by one means or another, prey upon the locals and exploit them in a spirit of contempt and disdain. Be it by a Globohomo actor--the entire Sahei upheaval of recent years is this--or by another imperial actor (Indonesia is a Red Dynasty issue) a lot of places that the folks like Nomad Capitalist push as places to move or investment turn out to be wrong keep growing by the day.

This also means that those local governments are also increasingly under strain as the locals see that they got sold out and are happy to put heads on pikes to fix it, and that's assuming that the place concerned isn't a proxy battleground (e.g. Georgia, where EU/NATO vs. Russia is still going on; Serbia's also like this).

What this translates to is that the days of just cutting and running when shit goes tits up are running out for the top tier of global society, and for everyone else they are already over; the post-Cold War mobility of men and material is winding down. Where it is not bottom-up by the locals, it's top-down by the elites (e.g. Red Dynasty's increasingly strict lockdown of people and capital).

Cowards like Nomad Capitalist's founder are being run to ground, and they are not going to like where that ends for them.

What comes next? If the current peace-preferring factions get their way, mostly quiet remigration followed by strict border and capital controls. If they don't, genocidal warfare followed by conquest and consolidation of the newly-empty territories into a larger homogenous nation-state.

Either way, Empire falls.
