Wow, these new rules are really shortening posts.

jeez could have given us a tldr
EDIT: but seriously I think English pervades far enough for this not to be an actionable strategy; i.e. wherever you go the leftist cancer is spreading, the matters of degree are very thin.

I am happily married (12 years) to a woman from Madagascar. We spoke French at first as her English was then pretty basic. I think the cancer is less malignant where English is not a major language.

I think such an experience will become increasingly diffcult to find today onwards, and somewhere like madagascar is very much an outlier in such things. How many people would be willing to move to such a place in order to find a wife? How can you gauge which places are worth learning a language of and moving to?
I agree with you fully, I merely think the margin of translation; the social justice, left moving lag is accelerating, and not in our favour. Globalisation will not run in our favour. Perhaps you are right though; I hope you are, and the margin will just be wide enough for me to find a feminine wife.

What do you care? This life offers a lot of opportunity and few people grasp it. Read Thoreau, read Joseph Campbell; find your own path.

First rule of travelling; the harder a place is to get to, the more it is worthwhile visiting. I suspect, without firsthand evidence, that the places mail order brides normally come from e.g. The Philippines, Thailand, are, by the nature of things, already contaminated. Get information from travellers - do a bit of backpacking, there is a whole network of information you can tap into and which has not been polluted by mass communication - and get information from individuals on the Net. Places most people have not heard of e.g. Eritrea, may be good ideas. But remember red pill thinking and behaviour is your best ally.

I care in a sort of disconnected, 'societal good' way; what is a good solution for you, is not a good solution for our communities. Perhaps our civillisation is beyond help in which case it is every man for himself and I am wasting my time.
Once I stack a bit more money up, I'm going travelling again - the first time round I couldn't stand the backpackers so, please believe I meant no offence, and in fact appreciate your advice. I will be taking your reading recommendations seriously.

You are assuming you are the only one she talks to and she can't use google?
