i learned recently that a lot of the anti-facist & republican fighters still live in france and i wonder if they won’t return to spain because of persecution or if it’s because they’ve setup a life for themselves in france.
also: i don’t get the prejudice against them in france, but i guess it makes sense considering the anti-muslim and anti-immigrant sentiments that have been plaguing france recently.

The answer is obvious. This was about ninety years ago, and Franco’s reign lasted about forty years. By the time the fascist regime ended, these people had retired, and their children—who were born in France—were starting to have children.
i presumed that it was because they’ve setup a life for themselves as well since that’s usually what happens when you immigrate; but they did it under duress; against their will; and now live in somewhere with a different culture & language so i was wondering if that made them ever want to go back.
if trump gets his way, i will likely end up living in the country my parents immigrated from and the prospect excites me since i know what it’s like over there through my experiences and my legal status in both countries guarantees that i can return after & if the united states ever decides de-fascize. my experiences also teach me that i will fit-in less socially over there than i do over here, so i will never have those children and grandchildren to anchor me there and i think that guarantees that i will try to return at least once; i was wondering if any of those fighters were anything like me since the person i met and told me about the fighters is very much like me.
