    They didn’t answer your question, so I will. If your entire support network hinges on the fact that you are in a specific place at a specific time in the XXIst century? You didn’t have a support network at all.

    There are millions of people living abroad, leaving their families and going into the unknown, alone either to get a new start or to help their family make ends meet. Hell, that’s why the US exists, it was built on the back of migrants. The difference between you and them is simple - you care about yourself and nothing more. You will deny it and in the same breath you’ll tell people to vote for a candidate that supports genocide. You would rather live an easy life, whitewash away the “tiny issues” in your mind so you can sleep easy at night, despite supporting mass killings with your work, your time and your money.

      The difference between me and my ancestors who came to this country is that my ancestors came together as a families and other settlers, you sanctimonious douchebag.

      My support network is my friends and family and yes, proximity matters a great deal to providing said support. You think people get the same thing from talking to strangers than the people they’ve known for 30+ years? Get real. Maybe your arrogance is keeping you from forming meaningful bonds with people.

      You’re up on your high horse telling someone to start their life over because their taxes add a drop into the ocean of military funding. To think that moving countries will have any meaningful impact on the deaths of innocent people is truly assinine.

      Go stroke your ego elsewhere

        Hey, whatever lets you sleep at night man. Take it on the chin and know you are compliant in the genocide. And the only reason why you are getting angry is you know I’m right. The dissonance in your head cannot let you realize the truth - you think of yourself as a “good person” and good people don’t do that. So suddenly your taxes become “a drop in the ocean” instead of “a bullet in a Palestinian’s head”.

          I guess you can’t smell the horseshit when you’ve been riding it for so long but it really stinks
