Millions of people die every day, from a multiplicity of causes. Set against those numbers, a few hundred suffering the consequences of their own folly, greed and selfishness can hardly be considered a more serious loss than those who have starved, been murdered or become casualties in a war or natural disaster. If your country is in the shit, you don't run off looking for an easy life elsewhere, you stay and work to make it better. If there is war, you stay and fight for whichever side you agree with or simply to defend what's yours.

UDHR? Check out Article 19.

Not that it matters. There are no human 'rights'. What some of us, in some countries have, are privileges written in the blood of those who fought for them. Privileges too many take for granted and neglect the duties that go with and maintain them.

If the Wokeferatu and their duckspeakers can lecture everyone in sight, then so can I!
