Why would I want to move to an objectively more subjugated place?

Besides that, you say to just pick up and leave as if it were that easy. And I suppose if I followed your advice, it could be. Get a divorce, not care about the kids (sorry, but I'm not bringing my daughters there), ignore the fact my parents are in their 80s, server all my friendships, likely end my career.

Not all freedoms are good. Or rather some bindings, like family and other loved ones, are worth it.
