Do you even realize all the ways you change your behavior to keep yourself safe? In a free society there wouldn’t need to be so many safety considerations. You are solving the symptoms but never the underlying problem. Every time you don’t do something you want to do it’s an admission of your lack of freedom. Why is your solution never to just leave and solve the safety concerns? You only want to ignore, avoid, and justify the safety problems in America. If something were to happen to your kids, how would you explain your choice to stay? 🆘🇺🇸 #TikTokEncyclopediaContest

The modifications that people make to their lives in the United States in order to keep themselves safe, it just baffles me at this point. Because you continue to choose to live there even though these things are occurring all around you. And I know you're choosing to live there because you're still there. For example, when the gun violence epidemic in schools got really bad, a lot of parents decided to pull their kids out and homeschool them in order to keep their kids safe. And there are people who choose never to take public transit because public transit in the United States is not safe. There are people who decided to start growing their own food because they recognize all the toxins in the food in the United States are not safe for them or their children. Right now you might be deciding not to take an airplane because air traffic controllers not getting paid in the United States means that you are not going to be safe on that airplane. You take all these calculated risks. You decide, okay, I will go to the mall, even though there's mass shootings at malls. And I will go to that concert, even though there's mass shootings at concerts. And I will go to the grocery store, even though there's mass shootings at grocery stores. And I will go to church on this day, even though there's mass shootings at church. You're taking all these calculated risks and you're pivoting behavior as you see fit to keep yourself safe in the United States of America. So when I talk about moving abroad, I talk about it because it is statistically safer. It is statistically the better option. Are there individual crimes that happen abroad sure? But you do not need to modify your behavior to the extent that Americans modify their behavior just in order to keep yourself safe on a daily basis. They're helping someone move to Japan. There's one thing that this parent said to me that will stick with me forever. He said that he could find ways to explain to his daughter as she grew up why they decided to move to Japan. But he could find no good explanation to try to explain to her if they had stayed in the United States, knowing everything he knew about what was happening in the United States and what was likely to continue happening there. He could not find a way to justify that to her future self. And I think that is so powerful. You are staying because you don't know how to leave. But there are so many resources showing you how to leave. And will you want to explain to your children why you couldn't get it together and get out of the United States when all of this is happening in front of your eyes? There are options all over the world. And I am here to help you match your reality to visa options for countries that will take you right now so that you can leave.
