The developer of an iPhone app for sharing sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers has been publicly threatened by the US Attorney General.
Strawman much? I know better than to engage with such a disingenuous post, but I’m going to anyway.
It’s not about what people DESERVE. Nobody DESERVES to suffer or stay somewhere they don’t want to and I would love for everyone to be able to get where they want. But it’s about the greater good. Everybody who can get out should, but when people who are most useful or potentially damaging to US government leave, it has a big impact. Navalny stayed in Russia. Is anybody better off for it? There is nothing more useful to the US government than for people it needs to stay there. When they leave, it gets weaker, and the forces that want to resist its actions get stronger. Nobody is helped by his staying in the US and having his app shut down and then having him forced into working to support the people he’s trying to fight. Life isn’t a movie. Sometimes the best action to take isn’t the one that’s going to win an academy award, but wins the war.
You mean money. It takes money to emigrate. I guess skillled and talented people without money can just die.
This is a despicable take.
