nobody is going to make you leave, I'm offering advice and encouragement for people who do want to leave or feel hopeless about their prospects.

couple things here:

"I'm gonna stay and I'm gonna enjoy myself until the bullet passes through my brain. I'm gonna make sure it stains their nicest carpets and finest dress,"

  1. it's much easier to die for a cause than to live for a cause.

  2. you can do a lot more damage alive than dead.

  3. your life is worth a lot more than inconveniencing somebody's carpet.

as an example, if you travel for 11 months out of the year, you don't have to pay earned income tax, and taking away revenue from the government is going to do a lot more harm than you being dead.

especially because I don't see any evidence for this:

"they love seeming civil and clean."

I don't think they like being clean so much as they don't care about being dirty in public anymore.

are you trying to ask where Americans can travel?

you said:

"just ignore people's lives involving those that live near them, family, lack of money, lack of a destination that will take them long term, and every other thing beyond vehicles go vroom. "

my reply:

that's not a good idea; you aren't taking into account important parts of people's lives that can affect their ability or inclination to travel.

you sound a bit DeSantis, wanting to ship people off without due consideration or even a rough plan in mind.

aside from being a native English speaker, you don't need any.

The school will provide the curriculum, training, you'll get to shadow a teacher for a few days and you'll have an assistant in class to wrangle the students, so all you have to do is speak English in a native accent for 20 minutes at a time.

you can also watch any number of YouTube videos to learn what teaching English is like, or you can choose from hundreds of other remote jobs If you don't want to teach.

as long as you make a few hundred a month, you can survive comfortably in Southeast Asia.

hostels are $100 a month, 200 a month for food is enough.

If you're making 500 usd a month, you can get a private place for $250 or $300, and keep the same food budget.

I suggest going to Southeast Asia instead. tickets are a couple hundred, everybody is really cool about genders and pretty much everything else there, everything is cheap, you can live indefinitely on tourist visas and if you need money you can always teach English.
