88. swallowing a computer screen
Speaking from this chicken little's experience, once you get out
of the US, there is a tendency to run silent and enjoy the peace of
not having american media blasting away, and american culture
blasting away.

When folks leave, you don't hear. The millions of americans who
live abroad are not on any census... and geez, you've gotta have a
real masochistic streak to bother with american politics once
abroad.

People don't leave because america is not strong. Heck, if they
built 100,000 nuclear weapons, it changes nothing about the systematic erosion of civil rights under the corporate decline of
the country these last 20 years.

It is not easy to move abroad, i'll grant you that. Then ironically,
once you are abraod, the people in your refuge nation will assume
that you support american foreign policy given your passport...
to the point, where you prefer to run silent.

I'm at periscope depth now, but i ran silent for years once out.
When these chicken littles leave, you'll never know to eat your computer.

America is much much weaker than you say. Having a continent of
WMD'S does not change that. One president won't change it either.
GDP, the only number that the uber-americans use to suggest
superpower status, indicates nothing about the real health of
the country or how fast the remaining world goodwill with america
can be erased.

The situation today was inconceivable in that last election. The
amount of wealth destroyed by the pukes is greater than under any
previous administration ever. Do you actually think that if they
take a second term, that the nation will remain strong or not at
risk of nuclear war?

I'll eat MY computer screen if America is not attacked by massive
nuclear weapons within 20 years. There is no strength in that.
