    “Are you speaking from direct experience?”

    i am speaking from direct experience.

    “Where did you end up”

    I’ve been traveling over a decade; started in china, went to a few dozen countries, still going.

    “how?”

    came across an ad for teaching english, flew over to China. kept going.

    “Fascism is a growing trend.”

    it’s certainly a very popular topic within a few countries these days.

    i daresay it’s much easier to comprehend from out here.

    “America has changed pretty significantly”

    it might seem like that standing on the pulse there but again, things look different from out here.

    “bit cat and mouse with the direction other nations are also headed.”

    there are 200 countries, none of which are static.

    you may feel confined because you’re living in one of them, and it could be that you think you’re only supposed to live in one of them.

    “retreating”

    protesting, not retreating.

    if you live outside of the states for more than 330 days per year, you aren’t required to pay earned income tax up $125,000.

    administrations and policies I don’t agree with don’t get my tax revenue, and haven’t for a long time.

    Withholding funding from the system is preferable to participating in and contributing to the system.

    Vote with your feet.
