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.

And do what, exactly?

When Albert Einstein fled Germany, he made the right choice too

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.
