If there’s a World War III I’m not fighting in it. One thing I’ve learned from a career in reporting is that you should not sacrifice your life for any abstract ideological cause. They usually add up to complete folly or merely the dirty game of some powerful people conflated with the public interest. 

If you are directly defending your own home and family that is a legitimate reason.

After decades of using the Internet, I've learned to apply this philosophy to the online Information war that precede these IRL conflicts.
