@lauraehall well, okay. So. This is a serious fight, and it's for our way of life and for our values. Personally, we'd likely survive...
-
@lauraehall... losing, although some friends wouldn't. But I think we have reasonable odds. We're fighting for a view where respect is not..
-
@lauraehall... conditional on birth location, on race, on all those things. We're fighting for the internationalist view.
-
@lauraehall why are our odds good? Young people are all on our side. The way economics works fits to our view. This way of living works!
-
@lauraehall (and better than the parochial approach). What's more, our political enemies also live in our world.
-
@lauraehall Trump is a New Yorker within an international network. Farage is apparently moving to the states? All international nationalists
-
@lauraehall so, yeah. It's an existential fight. We didn't want it, just to live our lives well. But it's a worthy cause and possible to win
-
@lauraehall not the -most- comforting thing. But it helps me not to think these are just incomprehensible tragedies inflicted on us all.
