    No one is preventing you from leaving the USA. Most countries are just making it difficult to enter. I’m all for having more open borders, but that’s probably not what you’re arguing for.

    No one is preventing you from starting your own community either. There just isn’t any land remaining that isn’t already owned.

    And the “punished based on the rules of the given community, or expelled” thing is describing a government, although because of the aforementioned lack of unowned land, they only expel immigrants nowadays.

      Thanks for reading and engaging in good faith.

      The lack of land is a huge problem. It is possible that when underwater habitats or space habitats become a thing there will be room for such an experiment.

          Loved it. TMI. It came out when my first wife and I had split after 20 years of marriage. I was living in a dive apartment. Alone for the first time in my life.
