re: #273 HappyWarrior

I guess I’m young enough. TBH I don’t rule it out but I don’t want to leave. Not just because I have family and friends here but damnit this is my country too.

i get that
and in a sense, leaving is not only surrendering the present, it is also ceding them the future

and country is a thing worth fighting for

as i said, im starting to feel that my ‘country’ is no longer recognizable to me
you know my feelings - liberty and justice for all, universal human rights.

if the patch of dirt collectively called the united states is less and less the champion of that ethos, what does ‘my country’ mean?

(yes i know, quite a rabbit hole and one we probably shouldnt venture too far down today….)
