Because of people saying they would absolutely fight for Ukraine. Acting like war is some fun COD game. Acting like you are a coward or a traitor if you don’t want to fight ‘for our freedoms’. What freedoms? I spent two years getting beaten down at protests against a genocide. A lot of is can’t find decent housing or a job or whatever.
It’s such bullshit. If war breaks out I’m out on the next plane somewhere safe. Sout-America, New Zealand, idc. Not gonna fight for some bullshit Western supremacy shit.
I work with refugees on a daily basis. I hear their stories of war. And you think they are cowards for fleeing? For not wanting to be bombed to shreds? Get a grip and stop LARPing.
End of rant.
Being “a coward” is the most human response to war. The fact you don’t want to be killed and want to live to old age is very human.
My family heritage being in the United States is full of different ancestry that fled to the United States to escape persecution. In fact, my grandfather on one side was a refugee who fled the Sudetenland a few weeks before Kristallnacht happened.
To me if there was a war, I would swim to Cuba if I have to.
