I'm for the individual. And specifically for the individual against collective oppression, in any form. Ideology, nation-state, religion, etc, etc, etc. In my world there is better philosophy and not so good philosophy. And that's how I see the world. For me, this is all individuals legitimizing undemocratic and opressive ideas. Nation states are irrelevant. You lose your private property. You're not gaining any "sovereignty". You've now lost your house, life, etc, etc. You are not more sovereign if you actually escaped.
And then a lot of it attached to fear. "Do you think they'll stop before they get to you?". That's bad karma basically. You're finding a way to justify bad karma. This in Buddhism is explained by attachment, aversion, or ignorance.
There's a lot to unpack here. I could do it on a recorded conversion, or podcast. Because I think this line of thinking is precisely what will eventually lead to WW3. It's exactly the same feeling the lead to WW1. Precisely the same.
Anti war always. War is not a thing of plebs. War is a thing of dictators. On all sides. Don't die for dictators. Die for true freedom.
