  • Yeah but almost every American I meet here traveling in SEA or Europe is a perfectly reasonable person.

    Dunno I just am in such disbelief that my world experience doesn’t match reality at all. I even consider myself pretty well traveled with 20 years of experience traveling around the globe though admittedly I’ve never been to the USA yet and I fear I might not get to see Yellowstone or Big Sur ever at this point or do I even want to?

    Kinda sucks to be a fan of US now ngl.

    • political institutions should promotoe individual rights and social equality
    • critqued organized religion
    • the government should serve the people
    • wrote the famous line “These are the times that try men’s souls” during civil war
    • people have the inherit right to reform and/or dismantle oppresive goverments
    • all individuals possess inalienable rights (human rights basically)

    That’s what I gather from his wiki and some chatgpt queries. Never heard of him before (not an american) but honestly — I’m a big fan now.


  • US is system is so bad. The constant pandering to “founding fathers” as if it’s even possible to have strong enough vision that it would last 200+ years and refusal to innovate past the ridiculous two party system is just sad tbh.

    Yet nothing will change because you can’t change these things without a revolution apparently.





  • You can basically live indefinitely in the SEA with US passport (Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia). Find a in a nice liberal bubble with loads of other foreigners as long as you can make 2,000 usd/mo you’ll be quite comfy and free here.

    I’ve long given up on being part of the core society and embraced the life in a bubble. It’s pretty awesome! Feel free to message me if you have any questions :)
