First of all, the country won't save you from multiculturalism and diversity if everyone moves out to the country. Secondly, the country has disadvantages. It's hard to run a modern society with a rural based population. Thirdly, we could get rid of the liberal tyranny problem by agreeing on a list of demands, then putting in legislators who enact them.

When you say wherewithal, I assume you mean money. Since you said you would be 'more than happy' to, let's assume that money is the only problem. Country living is relatively cheap. I know a place that's selling (or it was fairly recently), 100+ acres, a nice farmhouse (probably 2500 square feet;beautiful Edwardian style) and a barn, for about 99k Canadian and change. You can go for a smaller property or even more wild and pay even less.

I've seen small houses in the Canadian country for as low as 8k, and decent places for as low as 30k. So money shouldn't be the issue if you really want to do it.

I love the country myself. But I don't think that moving to the country is some sort of fantastic utopian solution. It has its own advantages, and its own problems, just like cities.

Also, people were never FORCED into cities in the industrial revolution (as far as I know) . They chose to go there, for many reasons. The industrial revolution was a product of circumstance, not design. Urbanization was a consequence, not a policy.
