If you were to shrug, where would you do it?

With the technology Big Brother has today (spy cams, GPS phone tracking, drones, etc.), it’s unlikely a Galt’s Gulch would survive hidden anywhere within U.S. borders.
Which raises the question: where do you shrug?
1. Blend in among the looters and moochers and hope no one notices?
2. Or find sanctuary in another country?

A flood of expats over past 15 years plus 100 years of U.S. presence because of canal. You blend as one of many unless choose to live apart in places built for expats.
Those who live apart frequently don't bother learning Spanish. Choose to remain foreigners in self-imposed exile.
It is difficult to return to U.S. The TSA embodies all that is wrong. Some friends and family do not understand. The looters are resentful. Many of the producers dislike it because even semishrugging puts issues on the table they want to fix by working harder, becoming political activists, etc.
Regardless of the reason, they reject or fear A is A. The train billowing smoke heading into the tunnel is headed for disaster. The looters have crossed the Rubicon, and Rome is falling.
Have you heard of red triangles? Political prisoners were given those in Nazi concentration camps. About 400,000 died. How many would have fled in 1933 had they known their fate? Cowardice? Hardly.
I have no intention of wearing a red triangle. Panama is one means of avoiding this fate. There are many others.
For now, I keep ties to U.S., regretting what has occurred, seeing the train wreck coming, and preparing to protect my immediate family from what's ahead.
Let's not forget why the Berlin Wall was built. And it wasn't to keep the Capitalists from invading illegally either. lol.
Agreed on #4, I do not want to hide in my own country. Damn communists. They don't know how to run their own lives, but they sure as hell know how to run yours.
Throughout history, when people leave, those left behind(our children, our parents, our friends, our co-workers), begin to understand that people aren't just bellyaching, threatening, they understand actions have consequences. This is hugely disruptive to people close to ,in this case, the persons leaving. viscerally real and a loss. Incredibly effective at getting the point across. It is called brain drain.
The only way to win this war is: intellectually, militarily and economically.
We need a multi-pronged attack against the forces of enslavement.
For instance, we needed Thomas Paine and Jefferson every bit as much as George Washington. As well as the people who produced the goods, services and arms that allowed a continental army to fight on. ALL,sir, were crucial.
