Leaving is incredibly difficult, despite the documentation on the State Department website. Amongst other things, if you try to dissolve your relationship with the US, you must submit to and wait for the conclusion of an IRS audit, which can take quite some time, and may stop the process entirely.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The article actually doesn’t align with the things you are arguing in opposition to.

Not precisely, no, it doesn't. But it DOES advocate for leaving the country, which is incredibly difficulty to do. IN this case the difficulty is rarely related to the will of the person and more to do with U.S. red tape. I'm all for exodus. I've been trying to leave for 20 years.

There is a section in the article that specifically talks about returning to the states. It never addresses the idea of revoking citizenship or getting citizenship in other nations.

Correction, it does generally use the term emigration, and there are references to a few citizenship options made available by various nations. It also says that the point is to help America realize how interdependent we are and likeI said, it has a section specifically on returning to the U.S.

Going to other countries as a visitor and as a digital nomad are generally discussed as being very easy for Americans. Residency in some nations is also fairly simple, as compared to getting residency in other countries.

I am confused if we read the same article. Did you click this link?

Valid perspectives. Wonder what the take on the matter of other countries taking/not taking us is in the article. I don’t recall the piece addressing the matter of folks not being allowed to leave. Solutions MIGHT be found through dialogue.
