i'm from vermont.
i love my town and my mountains, because i am of this place.
your town is probably pretty cool too.
also your mountains. or your lake. or your seashore.
go, local sports team.
people by and large are awesome.
but look around. fascism is on the rise. nationalism is on the rise. wherever there is an in-group trying to keep everyone else out, somebody is making money off of that. somebody is consolidating their own power by making others fear outsiders. somebody is exploiting you.
if somebody is selling you an agenda that doesn't include dignity for all, don't buy it. if your country doesn't define itself by its care for the least among you, your country is shitty. you have a duty to act.

The country I live in is shitty. Has been for a while and has recently hit new depths of shittiness.
I don’t suppose you’ll see this but we used to visit each other’s blog years ago.
