      Why? What loyalty or obligation is owed to a country just because you were born to it? It’s the country’s job to make you want to be a citizen, not the citizen’s to make the country act like it doesn’t hate your guts and see you as a wallet to fleece.

          Yeah, there’s an option if you don’t want to do your part to make the world a better place… No one’s forcing people to stay in the world

          So I should kill myself because America broke the social contract and I’d rather leave than die or become imprisoned fighting to repair it? Fuck you, my man. Revolution isn’t the only option when your government breaks the contract; is every immigrant a traitor?

      Yeah, America told that coward Anne Frank to pull herself up by her bootstraps and sent the boat she took to the good ol US of A to seek asylum back to Germany.

      I wonder what happened to that girl? Eh she probably got a hero’s welcome, challenged Hitler in the Free Market of Ideas, and won the day. At least I think so, I’m not sure, she wrote a diary but my local GOP Senators were kind enough to ban the book for being woke; it’s just not appropriate for people hiding in attics to call the people looking for them Nazis just because they happen to disagree on trivial matters like the value of a human life.

        …do you think I’m saying this shit as “oh yeah, you’ll be fine if you fight back, nothing bad will happen”? Do you think I’m saying to only fight back with thoughts and prayers? There’s never any magical victory.

        Anne frank was a child. 16 years old. Not old enough for self determination in the united states(barring some exceptions).

        Genocides happen when people don’t stand up to stop them. Everyone needs to fight against encroaching evil, in ways small or big, to stand a chance to fight.

          “Genocides happen when people don’t stand up to stop them…”-so you’re posting this from Gaza while you stand against the genocide going on there-right?

            I don’t live in gaza. My only care on that is wishing for the united states to stop giving weapons to Israel to enable it. I believe people have obligations to their own areas. And that all beyond that is courtesy, unless they’re the cause of the damages.

            But either way, one person can’t stand up for every issue. I chose mine. I chose my focus.

      Why do you think like 97% of America’s population immigrated to America bruh?

      No one said “Yeah I love loving where I am now, let me drop it all and move to an entirely new continent lol”

      ^ this person isn’t worth anyone’s time or effort. Ignore and/or block and don’t fall into the trap of trying to use logic to change the mind of someone who didn’t use logic to get there.
