    I don’t really know how you expect a country with a fraction of your population to be able to help you, and I don’t really understand how eager you think a country your country is threatening to invade and annex is going to be to help you

      For me, it’s like this. Do you know people in the same way you know a country? I’m not talking to Canada, I’m talking to Canadians. And our country, USA is a lot effed up right now. And that’s gonna harm a lot more USians than it will help, I fear. I know a few Canadians, and would do a lot for any of them because of who I know them to be on a personal, not national basis. Doubtless selection bias of some sort going on to be sure. Maybe you know some people of a different nationality, ethnicity, etc, and you know they are decent people even tho’ it might be the case that their government is absolute shite. And I didn’t ask for anything, Said ‘save yourselves first’ and gave a metaphor for why that is important, but for the moment I don’t really need an o2 mask, it’s a metaphor.
