    Those who flee when things get bad are also going somewhere for a better life.

    And my example of applying your logic still fits as many people who come to the US have fled countries that were going to shit.

    Are you going to say that for example every Philippino who has moved away for a better life because the Philippines is pretty shite to live in if your aren’t rich - are cowards?

    You can think what I’m saying is annoying all you want, but you cannot just make a blanket statement for people who are leaving the US and calling them cowards without applying that logic to other people in other countries who have done the same. And I think most of us would get a bad taste in our mouths if we started saying that Philippinos are cowards for leaving their country instead of staying and fixing their country. It’s not that simple. Especially not for those groups in society who are being persecuted.

      I don’t see how the blanket statement is an issue. “Bad taste in your mouth” isn’t exactly a great argument for or against something.

      Fascism is evil. People need to fight it.

          so you think no one online ever does anything, huh? I’m already preparing. Voting isn’t enough… Resistance is best when organized, and I’m advocating for my union to take steps to be ready as well as taking them myself. I’m not standing by idle. I campaigned in election season to help fight it there. And now that we lost the election, I’m taking other measures.
