In the past two years the world has deteriorated even more than I had anticipated it would. I wrote Expatriation Apocalypse in 2015, and the situation was dire then. I'm sure all of us here on HA know that things are more likely to get worse than better. (That is, in regards to foreign dating, the economy, jobs, feminism, and of course the dumpster fire that is Western countries.)
The things I realized in 2015 when I wrote Expatriation Apocalypse were correct, but they were too limited. Back then, I said that the window to expatriation is closing. It is, but like most collapses, it is gradual and will not happen overnight. You will not fall asleep one night, and then wake up the next morning to have your passport revoked by the daddygov. (More than likely.) It will be a process:
Already, men who owe a certain amount in child support (in the U.S.) can have their passports revoked. Renouncing American citizenship is now more expensive than it used to be.
Things like that. Gradualism.
And then there is the bigger issue of expatriation itself getting more exclusive and more expensive. While most men could reasonably avoid other restrictions, this is the biggest of all that affects the most men. After all, how many of us would go abroad (or go abroad somewhere else) if only we had the money and resources to do it?
That is what the biggest problem for men is, and it will get worse. There is catastrophic economic doom coming down the line. I'm talking things like:
-massive unemployment rates
We have had high unemployment and underemployment for years now. It will come to encompass more of the population.
-fake jobs, fake job postings, scam jobs, etc.
Desperate times make the scammers come out in full force. Multi-level marketing (MLM) is huge now. These are effectively (legal) scams and can even be cult-like. Some (again, legal) scam companies advertise for “sales jobs” (often called 'direct sales' or direct marketing') which entail working for “commissions” (which never come because the products don't need a salesman – these scam companies often have “employees” who try to sell things in vain, such as office supplies or phone service. There is no need for a salesman there – anyone who needs such things can just go get them from retailers.) Even legit companies will put out fake job postings or job postings so bad that no sane person would apply. That way corporations can go to the government and say, “see! We can't find any American workers! We need H1B1 applicants badly!”
-automation
Automation is real and the only question is to what extent it will take off. The worst case scenario would be 100% automation of society which would in effect produce 100% unemployment. Along the way, it will kill jobs without creating enough new ones to fix the damage done to human workers. To what extent this will happen depends largely on the next one.
-artificial intelligence (AI)
AI could potentially replace all of humanity. Our wannabe tech overlords (such as Elon Musk and Bill Gates) are pushing this narrative that AI is a. good without question b. inevitable. They are certainly working hard to make it happen. Imagine an AI that can think faster and smarter than a human. Now imagine it being given a humanoid body. Now it can take your job, and everyone else's. If it becomes a true AI (truly conscious in the sense that humans are conscious)...(yes, I know, insert joke here) that also has superhuman abilities, it could well be game over for humanity. That would mean society becomes 100% automated, humans are replaced. The population and human influence declines, and then we're history. This would be what is called The Singularity, the point at which technology becomes runaway and the world slips out of our control. At this point nothing will matter because there won't be an us to be concerned about it. The AI could do a 'soft takeover' gradually like this, or there could even be a 'hard takeover' i.e. “terminator scenario” to destroy humanity. Another scary possibility is imprisoning humanity like in the movie The Matrix. Imagine a prison for your mind and soul that will last for an eternity.
The kicker? We don't know if true AI is even possible yet. Our wannabe tech overlords want us to believe that it is, but of course they would want us to accept this as inevitable.
And all this really only touches the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the dystopian possibilities!
OK, so what does all this matter in the meantime?
I'm sorry everyone, I have no hope to sell. So why am I here with a new book about expatriation?
Because it may be the last good thing you can do to improve your situation at all. But it probably won't last forever. Expatriation, foreign dating, foreign employment...in my eyes, all of these are dying.
Finished are the days of a man going abroad, putting in his effort, and emerging with a good job, a hot yet traditional foreign wife, and some peace and security. If you are independently wealthy, talented, and young...maybe you could do those things. Maybe.
I've been abroad (Asia) for several years at this point. I've seen some shit.
Smart phones are flooding into the third world. Turns out that cheap Chinese knockoff shit isn't as shitty as it used to be, but it is still cheap. The West f***ed the world indirectly here.
I've seen Western men married to foreign wives, but the man gone full cuck. Everything from a nasty divorce situation (like you would see in the U.S. no less) to the men letting their wives date other men to men who are browbeaten abroad, as “lifers” who can't escape, and meekly accept their fate.
Even traditionally “easy” routes like teaching English for a year and traveling are not so easy anymore. Standards are going up, and with it, requirements. Visas are harder to get. There are more hoops to jump through year to year. And a lot of young, stupid millennials and feminists have flooded into the major destinations too. This is still probably the most attainable thing abroad for a man to do, but unless you are going the 'real teacher' route it probably isn't for the long term.
And yet...I believe a man should make the most of expatriation while he still can.
That is where my book comes in. In Expatriation Ragnarok, I do three things:
I explain why we are in this mess, and give historical (and prehistorical) context to the decline and collapse of the West.
I explore the economic doom and dystopian possibilities that I believe are coming down the line, and go into how this will f**k over the common man even more than he already is.
I show you how a man can still take advantage of expatriation in its late days, and help guide you into changing your life and making preparations for going abroad, and figuring out where you want to go and what you want to do.
Ragnarok is the Norse myth about the apocalyptic battle that will end the world, but in the myth there is the story of the renewal of the world. I don't know about that in our real world. Nothing short of a Great Reset could help us, but will it ever come, painful as it would be?
My new book, titled Expatriation Apocalypse, is available here on Amazon:
