It isn't just the US that is sinking. The eurozone is collapsing after an extremely short run at things. Australia's government already does things like censoring the internet, and China controls most of asia, and it is one of the least free countries in the world, developed or otherwise. The only thing that I didn't agree with is that the only option is to flee the country, since that isn't much of an option these days. If the United States goes through catastrophic and sudden systemic collapse, the rest of the world will have it's own hard time staying afloat. In my opinion, the best thing to do is to stay where you are and try to carve out your own micro community to make as self-sustainable as possible.
