Nah, mate. You're got it all wrong. You're supposed to throw a histrionic temper tantrum on Facebook threatening to move to Canada because of the latest news.

Then, you don't actually do it, because that would involve effort and by the time the paperwork's done, you would have forgotten why you wanted to move anyway.

Cycle repeats when something similar crops up on Facebook again, ad nauseam, ad infinitum.

Same thing as uni students threatening to smash the state, and ten years later, all they care about is their next bonus.

EDIT:

We had the same thing going on when Indonesia executed two Australian drug smugglers, a very loud minority claiming that they would boycott Bali, and three months later, they had completely forgotten / stopped caring about said boycott.

Well, if you seriously wanted to leave the USA, one possible route is through Ukraine.

He's having a melodramatic meltdown about the US's police force, do you honestly think he'd do any better in the gulag?

Also the foreign legion sort of exists to maintain France's influence over its former colonies. I imagine people like the OP find this deeply problematic.

If he's anything like the perpetually outraged uni students of my nation, he's convinced that his homeland (USA) is pseudo-Nazi Germany, and literally every other nation is a socialist utopia with no problems whatsoever.

Such as this:

OP, come back, it's been a week since some ostentatiously outraged hipster has threatened to leave whatever nation they were currently in.

We need to maintain the status quo, you know?

If by some miracle they actually do, it will only take the Canadians voting in a Prime Minister who is slightly to the right of Lenin before he freaks out and threatens to move to *Generic outrage country #2*.
