Plenty of great places in America particularly if you like rural living.
Ew, I'd rather kill myself than live in rural United States
What's wrong with it? Why're Americans suddenly hating their country so much lol, you can still love the country even if you hate the govt
I don't love an abstract legal identity. I'm capable of being happy with institutions, the culture composed if the people living there, and adoring the natural splendor.
Right now I'm actively angry at the institutions, a huge number of people have taken a sharp turn towards fascism, and I've got no problems with the forest still.
Me and the forest are cool, and that's part of why I'm mad at the institutions.
I have no desire to live in the forest because, if nothing else, that's not good for the forest. Then the people who opted to live there became insane, and decided to largely gut all of the institutions, and make it easier to destroy the forest.
"I live in a state of natural splendor, and I'm willing to fight to let you cut it down, splash me with mercury , and blot out the sun with smoke because I don't have healthcare and fuck you for asking. It's the refugees who are the problem".
