Actually, not in Brazil either...

Except maybe some farm areas in the middle of nowhere, but I dunno yet.

I am currently searching, interesting spots so far have been Singapore (not without its faults though), other SE Asia countries, Scandinavian countries, Quebec, New Zealand...

But I don't had a decision yet of where I will go, but certainly not the US, although it has some very free and interesting places, the US federal government infamously is quick to meddle into stuff (like your raw milk, or Waco, or Roe vs Wade).

Brazil has the same issues as US, plus some other ones... But Brazil living in the middle of nowhere is more feasible (the government here last pulled a Waco in 1800s, currently it leaves people that want to live far from urban areas mostly alone).



Alright, to each his own.

Your focus on Waco is making my point that you are only focusing on very high-profile subset of the negative. Waco was terrible but not as innocent as you are portraying it as. If you would've said Ruby Ridge I think you might get some agreement.

If you want to live in the middle of nowhere in the US, have at it. The government won't bother you unless you do something really messed up, like manufacture drugs for sale, murder people, or don't pay your taxes. You can milk your own cows, grow chickens for eggs, be a subsistence farmer if you want - there's no one to stop you from doing that. I'm not sure what you want to do that you'd think the feds would bother you.


I don't know if you saw in other posts of mine, but I am very much against current US government behavior, I am outspoken about it, and I support non-terrorist organizations related to that subject.

I am very sure I don't need to do anything "wrong" to attract negative attention of US government, even if I live in the middle of nowhere...


I can't help you realize that you're not important enough to the US government to justify your paranoia.
