This ¨pitch¨ for Chile was publishd on the web about two weeks before TSHTF about Galt´s Guch Chile. What is happening there doesn´t mean Chile would not be a good place to live, but moving there (or anywhere in South America) to live in a Libertarian paradise may not be an easy thing to accomplish.

    Born in the US and having served this nation, I have too many roots to up an leave. It chills me to have to say that my life will be forfeit, perhaps violently so, should the noose tighten as I project it will. I am an American. I will no acquiesce to totalitarianism nor will I go quietly.

      I can't know until it happened, but I cannot imagine abandoning the US even if it became very dangerous.

        In 1987 I was in Norway. I connected with a woman (being polite) whose family owned a restaurant. She took me to her summer cottage high atop a mountain for my 2 consecutive days of liberty. I offered to cook for her. I made her Aglio e Olio, basically pasta friend in olive oil and garlic and topped with cheese. It was a great weekend that I remember to this day. Anyway, the moral to telling this story was that she told her family about the dish and THEY offered me a job as a cook once I was discharged from the Navy. A beautiful (and affectionate) Nordic woman, a job, and a picture-book beautiful country were at my fingertips. I had to seriously evaluate my options and i decided then, back when America was still America, that I could never leave my country.

        Should I give my life I will be in the best of company doing so.

          Yes. I'm irrationally committed to protecting the US. If things ever fell apart, I think I would stay until the bitter end, but I can't know until I'm faced with that situation, which I don't think will happen.

            I think its less about the US and more about preserving the classical American Ideology for future generations. In this way I can see rationality in sacrificing my life for the future of my children.

    Thanks for this very informative post. I haven't made up my mind about leaving the US, but I am certainly pondering my options. As a writer, I'm not tied to a physical location. I hadn't thought of Chile, but things are going to get very bad here, sooner rather than later. Chile is certainly something to think about.
