If you feel "abandoned" because some scholars of fascism are moving to Canada, may I suggest developing and cultivating strong community bonds?
Because if you're feeling well held-down by your community, some random author leaving the US is not a thing that should be upsetting you. You know?
I think it has more symbolic value. Like when the bomb diffusing guy suddenly jumps up and starts running and you know things got real.
I agree with the symbolic value. It's like "welp, writing is definitely on the wall"
But there are people who are REALLY upset by this, and I believe that's a sign that those people have *only* symbols to hang onto right now.
Being in community means we have more than just symbols to occupy us.
