3 day sale - upgrade to annual paid
I’m finally seeing more of it lately.
Popular podcasters and mainstream media publications, Medium blogs and travel mags are speaking up more frequently and seriously about the colonial undertones, US exceptionalism, and plain personal entitlement that often characterizes USers migrating and/or traveling throughout the rest of the world.
I created Conscientious Emigration™ specifically to address this issue in my writing through multiple lenses - environmental, cultural, economic - and to support values-aligned USers in developing and implementing emigration plans that intentionally approach these impacts.
And it’s more relevant than ever.
The US’s warmongering and encroachment on sovereignty is relentless, unchecked, and colonial in character - down to the racism.
Bad behavior by people from the US continues to be exported, in some cases to the extreme.
The US media regularly spins news about other countries (especially in Latin America) that fuels the myth of US exceptionalism while ignoring the reality that some of us actually are truly safer and better off in countries we are still being told are “war zones.”
As folks from the US look at the reality they are facing down - especially those who are being targeted and persecuted - and realize that they should at least seriously consider leaving the US, it is critical that we also avoid harmful activities and behaviors where we are going.
That starts with education and intention. It starts before you cross the border. It starts before you compile your visa application. It starts with something as fundamental as whether to leave at all.
Because we are trying to build something better than what we are leaving behind, and that takes effort.

As humans, even with the best intentions, we can make mistakes when under stress. Migration is stressful. I want you to be prepared, even if we don’t work together directly.

One truism I keep coming back to is that we can only control our own behavior, actions, and choices. Start now, by reading about the underlying systemic issues, stories, lessons learned, and revelations we unveil in these archives.
I even put annual subscriptions on sale for you for the weekend, so take advantage!
Also, I want to say THANK YOU to the loyal paid subscribers who have been here, helping to support this work in the most tangible way possible right now. I appreciate you so much.
