“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.”- Mark Twain
I have no problem with people who are leaving our country for obvious reasons. People left Nazi Germany before the SHTF. I have several friends who have left, or want to leave, and move to South America. I would have a problem with them rubbing my nose in it for staying, but I do believe people should prepare to leave if possible... When Anthony Scalia says that internment camps are likely in Americans future, and some conservative Americans still think the 9066 executive order by a progressive ( FDR) was needed, I think we're in for a very rough future. Hopefully we can change course, and avoid any economic collapse. Having said that, I don't begrudge anyone for leaving to protect their families from the coming government crackdown... and it is coming.
Agreed FBD, if one is in a position to find safe passage out of this sinking ship, good for them. It’s their choice.
In regards to your original query as to the ‘pack’ action, I see it’s already been addressed.
You yourself recognize that anyone having left, to rub your nose in it afterwards is quite unbecoming. That is exactly what we experience with this poster, it’s always comments to the effect of ‘dummies, I’m living the life and you are stuck, hardy har har’. Glad you can recognize why the reaction is so strong to said nonsense.
It’s classic passive aggressive in that the shield gets thrown up with the ‘what me? I’m just making a comment and you are all jealous’. With all we are struggling with here, having anyone jab us with such silliness, tends to bring out the desire to defend our choices, our country and one another.
Bragging is so unattractive!
