One of those you're legally obligated to use. All the others are 100% optional and frankly a lot of people do intentional avoid them for ideological reasons such a the whole "blood diamond" issue. Ethically sourcing mined resources has been a very big deal for Apple and Intel recently too.

Who is forcing you to be in the USA?

The USA government taxes you globally leaving the country doesn't stop this. Unless you can get citizenship in another country and revoke you're USA citizenship leaving the USA doesn't do anything.

Only after $110,000 earned in a year, before that you just pay taxes in the country you earned them but yes please continue… I want to hear more things you don’t fully understand.

This is so funny to me. People always forget that immigration elsewhere also isn't trivial. Otherwise we wouldn't have the problem of statelessness.

Every time someone says "if you don't like it here, go somewhere else / home" with an anti-immigration stance (even if they're talking to people born / naturalized in that country) they're asking them to be an immigrant elsewhere.

I never said that it was easy, I'm simply rejecting the idea that you're legally obliged to use the USD.

If you have a strong conviction, you can be expected to be strongly inconvenienced by it. Otherwise, it is just moral posturing.
