Or just. Everyone stop running please. When does the running stop? You eventually have to make a stand somewhere it’s either you or future generations paying this price. If you benefited enough to get out, stay and help others do the same.
What to do? I don’t know, what the rest of us are doing, figuring it out. They’re the smart ones, right? Yep, Einstein sure did make the right choice. Let’s think this through then. Who are the people actively being persecuted like Einstein? It’s not a hard guess: Palestinians, their supporters, anyone from the global south, or anyone with brown skin. Don’t worry, they’re actively deporting these people. They’re not trying to run, they’re just keeping their heads down trying to survive. Because your country doesn’t want any of us unskilled workers either. The vast, vast majority of people trying to get out are not going to be listed above. And if they are? I don’t blame them, get out. But to compare Einstein to people with degrees leaving because they’re afraid like the rest of us is absurd to the point of being offensive.
Right. Well. Good thing you’re not Einstein or a Jewish person in Nazi Germany, or I would not have advised you to stay. Such a straw man, avoiding responsibility even in your arguments.
You don’t know anything about me. I never said I was going to run. But I’m sure as hell not going to blame someone for running away from this shit, especially if they’re in a vulnerable group.
You clearly don’t understand the stakes and what we’re dealing with if you think genocide and mass murder aren’t on the table for this administration. Read about the damn books they endorse and parade around, they’re very open about their violent fantasies. You can start with “Unhumans”, which was endorsed by Vance and whose author just toured Europe as an official guest of the Trump administration.
The original comment was about people with desirable skillsets leaving for other countries. If you mean people in vulnerable groups with those skills able to leave, absolutely. Agreed. But that is a very slim amount of people who are looking to do this. Vulnerable groups have a much more difficult time emigrating in general, and they certainly make up a far lower percentage than those of cis white people running for the door.
don’t understand the stakes
More strawmen but OK, you also know nothing about me. But I really don’t want to argue with someone I likely agree with far more than I don’t. Thanks for the book rec, I’ll check it out.
Please please, also run to Canada, were closer by

And do what, exactly?
When Albert Einstein fled Germany, he made the right choice too

If Einstein did this he would’ve died in the Holocaust.
