I said anarchy was better than "rule of law" by bandits. Somehow you read that as I need to move away because those are the only two options.

Even if we do suppose for the sake of argument, that anarchy is better than rule of law by bandits, and those are literally the only two options -- even then I don't see merely moving away and letting my children deal with it as a clear superior option. It's merely possibly more convenient for me.
