    Eh, people that live in Senegal aren’t your compatriots unless you live in Senegal.

    I understand the desire to dissociate. It’s the easiest option. But we as a country are still fucked regardless.

      Fuck my “compatriots”, nations are made up and the geopolitical lines do not matter to me. I do not care more for someone because they are born or reside in the same country as me. The country as an entity can also get fucked, it’s too big and built on death and greed.

        I mean if the country “gets fucked” you’d get fucked with it…which is most of the point.

        People love to pretend to be little sovereign citizens here, but like it or not you’re part of a larger thing.

          I’m prepared to endure hardship if it means the racists of the world have less power.
