Should I leave society behind?

Question

Well I am not going to in depth with this, but I like in the United States. As you know it does not have the best economy, at least not as much a few decades ago. I'm 17, and I flunked a grade, so I think that ruins my chances of being accepted into a good school. Now America is becoming socialist, as you know, socialism doesn't work, the Soviet Union crumbled and is now (Russia) crap because of it. Greece banks had to close and that country is going to crap. The Earth is apparently running out of resources because most of them are nonrenewable, and even water is suppose to expire! Call me pessimist, but these are gritty facts, there's a few optimistic things you can tell me, but if it's "Don't do it, you have so much to live for! )" or "Stay, life is too short to miss out on so much, or "YOUR FWaamilly wuuvsss you!" don't give me that, its' bullcrap. I plan to just get a plane ticket and take a personal exodus to the Siberian mountains. Anywhere extremely cold, without politics, and without society. I might hunt for living, but since the government wants to control everything I'll just have to live in a cave.

I also found out in America it's harder to find a job, and keep a house in a socialist economy. I mean people are ok in Canada I guess, but transitioning to socialism can suck. Minimum wage increases, decreases ammount of jobs. And with Socialized Welfare/Medicare takes money out of your paycheck. What a scam. And this is coming from a guy who dosen't care for a family, or god damn kids. I just want to live alone, in an apartment, and watch YouTube videos all day, for the rest of my life.

So what do you suggest, don't give me moral bullcrap, or rude comments. Be logical, and logistical, facts and knowledge are what I want.

Answer 1

Be the change you want to see in the world. No one is going to do it for you.

Answer 2

First of all the Soviet Union was communist not socialist. And Canada is doing danm well. Our banks actually came out at the top in the recession and our economy is doing well. In Alberta you can get fast food and other menial jobs that pay 12-14$/hr (that's how good it is there).



Why go to Siberia? I would suggest going to Canada. Not because of our economy and free healthcare (and cheap tuition) but because most of it is just as cold and isolated as Siberia. The bonus is you don't have to learn Russian. And you will have to talk to people, you need food. Even if you plan on growing your own you'll need several months worth of food until you can start harvesting.



But somehow I have a feeling that once you no longer has a nice heated house, computer, tv, easy food and socialbility you'll remember why it's better to live in society then out of it. If not then good luck out there.

Answer 3

in a way, i did for awhile. i basically offered each and every thing and hit the line for a 365 days. I really have the skills to stay off the land yet i savour being waiting to computer screen television, eat prepared nutrition, have plumbing, electrical energy, stress a automobile, meet people, have the advantages of steerage....besides, my 365 days out of the game turned right into a getting to comprehend journey...i realized that except seeing places i not in any respect may have otherwise, it may get particularly boring. each and every of the mediation contained in the international is ineffective till you've others to percentage the journey with. we are social creatures. i also changed into contained in the infantry, gazing nature as leisure isn't all this is cracked as a lot as be. at the same time as people inquire from me if i opt to bypass tenting, i am going to usually bypass till there is beer and a deliver in touch.

Answer 4

Erm, sounds like you need to grow up tbh.



You could do this:



-Go to community college

-Transfer to uni

-Get BA in something profitable

-Leave country and never come back



This way, you don't have to pay your loans back at all. Just might not be able to come back to the country even for visiting though. Many people have done this on purpose and not on purpose due to student loan prices but in all reality, up to you.

Answer 5

I would suggest you get some of what your so-called facts right, water, Russian economy, resources, and more. You sound like a guy who has more interests than what you get access to in school. Don't put yourself down so much. Seek real answers and you'll find yourself and your place in this world.

Answer 6

Tbh this was my dream before but how can u leave if you dont got a car plane ticket or money... i mean yeah the economy sucks and id run but i cant so yeah

Answer 7

There is plenty of opportunity in Chile, plus a decent government and a reasonable cost of living.

"Canada's overall police-reported crime rate dropped six per cent in 2011 from the previous year, reflecting the lowest crime figures recorded since 1972. Statistics compiled by the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS) and released Tuesday by Statistics Canada showed that the crime rate in 2011 was at its lowest level in 39 years. The decline continues a downward trend that began in the 1990s"

The cherry on top, despite Canada having 'gun control' the same assault rifle used in the Colorado threatre shootings, is available for sale and possession.

[we just don't shoot each other with them, 'gun control' isn't just about weapons, it's about self control also]



" but transitioning to socialism can suck"



Dude, Universal Healthcare - making sure we're all healthy is hardly Communism... we do prefer learned and reasonable persons. Keep that in mind if you come up.

'Socialist' would mean I get things for free, I don't; Canadians pay for our Healthcare. It's 'universal' not 'free' and means you can never be refused medical care for any reason.

You Americans really gotta get over this labelling stuff wrongly.



I hope this isn't where I get to hear we're ruled by Britain...



Best of luck to you regardless of which direction the wind blows.



EDIT TO ADD...



"Even if it was a good country to retreat to, what's gonna happen when America sucks even more, just how many Americans you think are gonna be going to Canada? "



I'm going to be brutally honest here, but only just because you asked a valid question so deserve a valid response...



Not many.

Fact is the USA has a very distorted view of the world and precious few even know much about their own neighbor.

Most in the USA think nobody can have guns.

They think we're Socialist.

They think we're ruled. They've invaded Canada twice thinking we'd rebel against British rule - not having the slightest clue we weren't even a Colony but instead a Dominion [we rule ourselves]

They think it snows and we all live in igloos.

Besides the USA already tried making Canada a part of the US twice by invading.

Even though they got ejected both times they think we're weak and we can be easily owned.

Whatever.... :)



In the meantime Canada has the highest standard of living going, our economy kicking butt doing awesome and the world loves us - because we love it.

I don't walk my streets fearing people with weapons. I don't fear my government or the world has a sinister intent I need to arm myself against.

No Indian Wars, no slavery, no racial bs, gay marriage legal...
