  • most Americans can’t stand living anywhere but America. They’ll say they hate it and want to leave, but they won’t. If they do, they have a glorious honeymoon period, and after that is over, the reality sinks in and they throw a temper tantrum the first time they can’t get Froot Loops[tm] at the grocery store.
    “My recipe calls for duck fat, where’s the Whole Foods?” There isn’t one. Then you get to see liberals turn into raging racist bigots before disappearing and never coming back again. We even had a term for it, “doing a midnight run.” They feel they’re not in control and can’t stand it. Written over 20 years ago but still applies: “The expatriate mentality is a tough thing to explain easily. Any affluent or even middle-class American who renounces the good life of sushi delivery and 50-channel cable television to relocate permanently to some third-world hole usually has to be motivated by a highly destructive personality defect. Either that, or something about home creates psychological demons that in turn create the urge for radical escape.” – Mark Ames, The Exile: Sex, Drugs, And Libel In The New Russia
