    It’s not about bloodlust, it’s about not being sitting ducks

    It’s your country that’s falling apart, it’s going to affect primarily you (at first, and then the rest of the world)

      Yep, there it is: “it isn’t my fight.” News flash: if the US falls, you guys will be next. Stop trying to shame others for things you’re not (and wouldn’t be) willing to do yourself.

        “if the US falls, you will be next”

        Yeah, and that’s effectively you (as a group) threatening me, isn’t it? For stuff that’s going on in your country? That I had no influence on? Why do you expect me to do anything but prepare to defend myself?

        I won’t be saving your country from your own mess, no. And as a non-local I would be less than useless even if I did cross the border. What I will be doing, however, is preparing to the best of my ability myself and my home community against a fascist US.

        Besides, that wasn’t the point of my comment. The point of my comment is that the fascists in charge won’t hesitate to use violence against you. If you choose to not defend yourself from it, then you’re sitting ducks, and they get free reign. It has nothing to do with “bloodlust”. It’s about defending yourself from an abuser. Why did you assume I tried to shame you? I’m not the original commenter.
