South within or outside Europe?

There is no patriotism left in Europe. That, and many countries have a disarmed citizenry. Both things make a defence against the globalists/bureaucrats/socialists improbable in my view.

AND rampant global dumbing of the masses doesn’t help either.

I totally feel you on the “what is my homeland” question. As a Christian my homeland is this entire planet after the second return of Christ. Before that I am a refugee in an alien world, as have been millions of Christian’s in history.
