It is usually morally correct to fight off literal tyrannical invasion, what are you on about?

Are you seriously suggesting it wasn't moral for the French to fight the Nazis or the people of Afghanistan to fight off the Soviets and Americans?

>You should support yourself and bide whatever state imposes itself on you.

Pathetic. Might as well go back to feudalism with that attitude.

It is not nationalism to want a sovereign nation that you have influence over, that's democracy.

Ok, so why do people not violently rise up against the us government? They clearly have never represented our values, and they use the pretense of sovereignty to act as if their behavior reflects our interest.

So what's our excuse? Do we not have a democracy, or are we simply a contemptible people?

A lot of people believe that Trump represents their values. They might be dead wrong, but it's what they believe that counts.
