I think one issue with all this is that if your primary motivation in your action is to escape globohomo geographically, do you have a plan once that mission is accomplished?
If you don't, you are arguably in exactly the position the 'puppet masters' want you to be in. Isolated and disconnected from roots and family.
'Haha! I stuck to the overlords!' you say to yourself to online 'friends' in your lonely apartment overseas.
Living like a fugitive as a choice is not exactly the good life.
I can't speak for this Canadian man and I am not saying all efforts are doomed to fail. I just see a lot of blinkered myopic thinking where the only factor considered is the tentacles of globohomo being evaded rather than a more positive approach of building a life somewhere which includes making friendships and connections overseas. All of which is very difficult and requires a completely different set of skills to the ones that exiling yourself and going against the grain develop.
If you have gotten to a point where you belief fully that no connections can be made around you due to differences in outlook in life in your home country, do you really think that same black and white thinking isn't going to come up again in another country where you find other types of connection issues?
I think the factors that make life meaningful can still be found anywhere.
