Most of those emigrees have returned. Out of all people I personally know only two still live abroad, and only one of them has no plans to ever go back (but has not changed his passport because it's truly difficult).

And saying "they could easily have emigrated" shows that you have zero touch with the common man. No, many people can't "simply leave" even if their profession is in demand.

Edit: ah, I now see your other comments. No further discussion needed, don't forget to label me either a paid troll, a useful idiot, or both.

It helps to think of these people as essentially Mao's Red Guards. They are (I hope) still very young and as a result very absolutist in their thinking. They are fanatical about their country being the best because they haven't seen or experienced much else. And they get a sense of power from belonging to what they think is the group of the People Who Are Always Right.

Mao's Red Guards. Because these ducks quack like those ones did.

It's rather confusing and hard to understand which side are you targeting here... Because only one is semi-fanatically defending their country while disregarding pretty much any argument or fact that doesn't align with that.

We need literature, fiction or non-fiction, which can illustrate some historical thought fallacies that have lead well-intentioned humans into destruction empowered by self-righteousness. Bonus for testimonials by humans who have recovered from this civilizational anti-pattern.

Keep projecting.

You’re insane, if you think that this is grey situation.

Vanishing empire invaded another country with intent to occupy and subjugate another. Expecting that one hand can rape, kill, steal while another participates just like nothing happened is psychopath mentality.
