Or they don’t want to deal with the bullshit and are taking their talents elsewhere.
Yes and I find that weak and contemptible. Especially when it concerns people that have been very loud about not being silent when a Genocide happens. The situation in Palestine has been considered a genocide or likely genocide by many institutions, and students protesting this are being racially targeted and silenced, and they choose to safe their careers. I don’t understand how anyone can defend that.
Their rights to live their lives as they see fit apply only when you say it’s OK.
Got it, thanks.
How does my comment in any way infringe their rights to leave?
It doesn’t.
Same way their leaving has zero impact on your life.
“Hurr durr how DARE people with means try to protect themselves when a dangerous regime is taking over”
Give me a break.
The only thing they are protecting is their own career which is weak. What makes it contemptible is that they built their career on sitting on their high horses about what to do during an authoritarian power grab, and then do exactly the opposite of what they have been preaching. Choosing this field of study means (in my opinion (with which you can disagree (and most people here apparently do))) that you have extra responsibilities.
