For Americans, is there anything that would make you leave the country?And if so where would you go?

[Luke Cage]

Getting to know and love another country is the only thing that would make me leave this country.

WOuld have to travel more to figure that out though

The power of belief

The last big volcano eruption literally plunged the world into a mini ice age, causing both global and local famine . We have documented first hand accounts of both it's ash and vibrations being felt 2 continents away. Would have been more apocalyptic if it wasn't on an island. And Tambora wasn't even a super volcano just an extremely destructive one.


But we have one of these super volcano monsters that is several times more destructive than the 1816 eruption right in the center of our country and it's been overdue to erupt for the last 100 years.


There is no universe where America keeps existing after Yellowstone explodes breh. Canada and Mexico will get strays too because the ash plumes respect no borders.

Nope. For better or for worse this is home.

Having made this thread 7 years ago: https://www.thecoli.com/threads/so-for-all-those-who-want-to-leave-the-us-one-day.644079/

I have definitely thought about a back up plan. I don't plan to leave unless something devastating happens, all out totalitarianism, or Black folks lose citizenship rights, etc.

I just am not sold on running to Europe. I know there are a lot of Blacks in Europe and I know Black folks from the US who have left for France, Portugal, Benelux countries and love their life. But I just don't feel the political center and economic stability can hold long term in Europe and running from one group of White folks to another seems more like treading water than progress.

I am looking closer at the Caribbean though it is expensive. I know enough Spanish and Portuguese to get by in South America too.

You made this thread 7 years ago? Have you continued traveling and exploring or even had an extended stay (few months) in a different country ? What still has you second guessing yourself? Does something tragic need to happen?

I know you put Europe in the maybe category… but if usa fails/falls… so will many other countries too including Caribbean islands, Panama, Europe, even African nations… so much depends on the American dollar… and if it’s not America on top, then it’s China

For the safest bet, China might be the best back up if USA falls

Personally , I think natural disasters are a legitimate reason to leave. We have one of the only 4 active super volcanoes on Earth right in the middle of our country . If Yellowstone goes off, that'll be the end of this country's story like pompei. It's reasonable to assume that an eruption of that magnitude is going to trigger California also. Might be a wrap for North America as a concept because the ash will blanket both Canada and Mexico. I don't think the East Coast cities could handle all the refugees.

We might be in a strange scenario where Hawaii and Alaska are the only two habitable States because of how far away they are from the mainland.

alaska has volcanos and the hawaiian islands are the tops of underwater volcanos. no place is really safe.

I lived in China and Brazil for months in the past for work. Family obligations prevent me from traveling more. I have contacts in a bunch of places so if I need to hop I can but I am not at the point yet where I want to do so.

Would be such a vibe with a family.




The Pacific Islands or Hawaii (I know it’s the states) just got a vibe to them.

And where would millions be welcomed after 10 years of the world hearing how America hates them?
