    In my experience most people understand that it’s not the fault of every individual citizen that their state behaves a certain way, but at the same time the citizens of a country have a vastly larger influence on their state than the citizens outside that country.

    So no, don’t distance yourself from your country. Distance yourself from your government or state. And work in a safe way to leverage whatever influence you have over your fellow citizens, your local or national systems, to hinder the bad guys and help the good guys.
