I mean, there are two side of the argument.
Pragmatically, fleeing would save your life.
But ethically, it feels cowardly. (I’m not calling anyone a “coward”, its just how I internally feel about such an act, if I were the one doing it)
Stay and fight for it. Because what happens if and when shit goes south wherever your new home is? Just keep running?
Well, apparantly, Lemmy is telling people to immediately flee the US.
So like, I’m just wondering. What happens when every person left-of-center leaves? Do we just leave a bunch of nazis with the entire nuclear arsenal of the US?
One of the methods of getting a foreign visa (EU countries in particular) requires you to have the equivalent of $500,000 USD to invest in the country. I’m like… bruh, in this economy? 💀
Depends. If you want to draft me, fuck off. If invaders come in my neighborhood, I’ll be in the wood blowing bombs like my ancestors did when the germans came.
You can always help overseas where you’re safer.
America will bring down the entire western world. There is no option but to fight.
I always hated the “cowardly” argument.
Who gives a flying fuck what others think? Fuck that egotistical bullshit.
Do what you can to survive. That’s more important than worrying about how brave others think you are.
There is an argument to be made that fleeing anytime fascists threaten your democracy can maybe done once in a lifetime. If you happen to flee the American fascist regime to another country that collapse into fascism soon after, do you flee again? Do you finally stay and fight?
People should make these decisions for themselves and their families.
