A Bird’s Eye View of A Rapidly Changing America
The Passport Bros Movement has been growing exponentially in recent years, marking a significant shift in societal behavior within the Western Hemisphere, and in particular, the United States. At the heart of the movement, are men from all walks of life who are opting to leave their homeland to find love, happiness, peace, appreciation, respect, and kindness in foreign countries. Just simply taking the time to talk to one of the men who have joined this growing movement and one can begin to understand “why” so many of them are choosing to leave.
“There’s nothing here, but crime, violence, overpriced housing, and angry hate-filled women who are either trying to shame or insult you for being a man or who are trying to manipulate you out of every single dollar you worked hard to earn. They want you to sit down and shut up like a dog, and simply accept everything they say and do….and men are not willing to put up with that non-sense anymore!
The writings on the wall, that’s why most men have packed their bags and are headed to places where they can find peace and real happiness.” – Maurice K.
Understanding the Passport Bros Movement
It is, in essence, a substantial response to a multitude of issues challenging the American landscape. With the steady decline of morals and decency within America and the West, escalating weekly mass shootings, a hyper anti-masculinity environment, a highly biased family court system, growing dubious paternity issues, and nearly 70% of all divorces being initiated by women, it is hardly surprising that many men are seeking solace abroad. These men, often referred to as Passport Bros or Bluebook Gentlemen, have come to understand their true value and refuse to settle for anything less. They are confident, driven, self-sufficient men from many different types of backgrounds who are equipped with disposable income and a desire for a better quality of existence.
Between men and women, women are the ones who chiefly initiate divorces. Interestingly, the duration of their first marriages lasts longer than that of men. But their second marriages are shorter. As for same-sex couples, once again, all-female marriages have a higher mortality rate. The reason for this could be that lesbian couples enter marriages too early (Wakefield, 2020).
The Motivations Behind the Movement
While the specific motivations of the members of the Passport Bros Movement may vary, at the core of each is the desire for a better quality of life—one free from societal ills, the abhorrent treatment and disrespect they receive from women, and the negative pressures that they encounter in their native countries. Some are healing from life-altering experiences and past traumas, while others are simply travel-loving men who enjoy experiencing new cultures and environments. Their journeys abroad provide them with the peace, appreciation, understanding, love, and respect they seek—elements which, they believe, are lacking in their home environments.
Not unlike the great movements of the 1960s and 70s, this rapidly growing movement has gone from underground to mainstream and signifies a broad, layered societal shift that is responding to changing times and unmet needs. This shift is all-encompassing, touching all aspects of life, from personal relationships to career choices. It is a reflection of the need for men to find contentment, peace, and a sense of belonging, something that, unfortunately, many are unable to find within the West.
Impact and Future Implications
The Movement as a whole is already creating ripples within the societal fabric. Its growth reflects the changing dynamics of relationships and societal norms within Western societies, particularly in America. As more men leave the American dating pool, it’s evident that this will have a profound impact on the American dating and marriage market.
As the number of available men decrease, we might see an increase in competition amongst women within the dating pool. This, coupled with the decreasing marriage rates and increasing numbers of young men who have opted out of the dating scene and are obtaining their passports, could potentially lead to a more significant demographic shift. The family structure, which is already experiencing transformation due to declining socio-economic factors, might see further devastating consequences.
Moreover, the Movement is likely to push societal institutions to introspect and reassess their current policies and structures, especially within the areas of Alimony and Child Support. This could potentially lead to systemic changes aimed at addressing the issues that spurred the Movement in the first place. For instance, reforms could be undertaken to make the family court system more equitable, or divorce laws could be changed to hold women equally accountable for their decisions, especially within the areas of earnings and finance.
Conclusion
The Passport Bros Movement signifies a call for change and an earnest quest for a better quality of life. While some may view it as a critique of Western societies, specifically America, it is more accurate to understand it as a reflection of the need for societal reform. It underscores the importance of addressing systemic societal issues, fostering a culture of respect and appreciation, and creating an environment where men are not shamed, insulted, disrespected and made to feel guilt for their masculinity.
As the movement continues to gain momentum, it’s clear that it represents more than just a trend—it’s an expression of the human need for respect, happiness, and fulfilment. By acknowledging and addressing the concerns that spurred this movement, America and the west at large can not only prevent a brain drain and steady financial loss, but also work towards creating environments where men as a group feel valued, appreciated, respected, loved, and most of all, a sense of real peace.
