FWIW, it's most people having better shit to do, regardless of nationality (or lack thereof).

But, yeah, anyone who takes a few weekends to understand how large-scale infrastructure works and consider why it's possible for nearly all of it to remain untargeted by saboteurs inevitably develops a resistance to the "Lots of Bad Guys are trying to kill us all the time, so we must enact $AUTHORITARIAN_POLICIES immediately to prevent them and keep us safe!!!" type of argument.
