    It’s kind of baffling that the saner elements of these conservative parties simply don’t get that all the really smart people who tend to have disproportionately large positive impacts on their country’s economies simply won’t put up with authoritarian governments, and will straight up leave if push comes to shove. The politicians in question are evidently unable to understand the catastrophic impact that brain drain can have on a country in the medium- to long-term.

      Show me where in the Western world / developed world where to go… please.

      I’m in Australia and it’s just as bad here. Totally insane bullshit being normalised by a comatose media and populist scoundrels.

      I miss the days when conservatives at least had a sense of real nationalism. Now they’ll commit treason and openly support foreign enemies like Putin and no one bats an eye.

      They don’t care. They’re happy with their little fiefdoms, even if all they rule over is mud.

      They don’t care. They aren’t even looking at the small picture, they are busy trying to decide which crayon to eat.
