    I feel like the last few days have been a real preview of what's to come w/r/t climate refugees, ecofascism, etc. It's barely gotten a mention in mainstream news, but the US is barely making a halfhearted effort to get collaborators out of there. And even then, they're looking to other Middle Eastern nations to house refugees, they're not even thinking about letting much of anyone resettle in the US. The fact that Americans and Europeans do not seem to give a single care for potential refugees from a situation THEY created I think is a taste of what we're gonna see in the coming years and decades.

      I've seen it get a lot of coverage right now -- thing is, it'll be memory holed in six months.

      The question is: If you think the country will not be safe for your allies after the opponent achieves victory, why not give out visas before and do escape orderly?

      Maybe give people material to settle in safety if the region isn't safe? $100 per month per person in Afghanistan would've been possible to pay since 2001 without having had spent more than the war now.
