Because the West no longer competes with USSR.


It competes with China. But it's not like we can easily switch countries because of stupid laws, so what remains is to challrnge them. It only gives the wrong ideas to other wannabe autocrats.


I can get you residency in a number of countries in about 30 to 60 days. It’s remarkably easy to change countries an American friend of mine has over 15 residencies leading to over 10 passports. No citizenship by investment non sense either.


> 15 residencies leading to over 10 passports

Unlikely, considering most places require you to fulfill the granted residency by actually physically being there.

And are these even places you'd want to live?


only in the global north who want to you to spend half your time slaving for them. in the countries with privacy rights, and where slavery remains outlawed, the residency requirements are pretty minimal.

would i want to live there? yes. most definitely.


Can you name some specific countries?


Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Kenya, Costa Rica, UAE, Palau, Turkey, etc.

Paraguay requires for example 1 day for tax residency, 1 day every year for temp and 1 day every 3 years for permanent.


Will this really do any good when this kind of legislation magically appears through lobbyists simultaneously across the West? Let's not forget that blocks like the EU also have significant bullying power via trade policy.
