Einstein and many other Jewish scientists famously fled Germany in droves to escape the Nazis. Seems a little gross to suggest that refugees will bring whatever tyrannies they’re fleeing from along with them…
Oh I agree I was just trying to provide a contrast angle, to emphasize the point. Of course there were good, but clearly too many leaked through, and while the blanket answer is ‘corrupt power strives for power,’ I believe in a more nuanced kind of way.
Obviously having Einstein was a boon, but what if he’d been the kinda shit we deal with today? White-Christian-nationalist Einstein sounds like a worst-case scenario.
Einstein was a socialist and very against the third reich. Don’t know where you got the idea that he was a nazi

We got off lucky and that’s putting it nicely.
He was just an example of how the US was scooping up German scientists like Einstein.
Learn your shit before you call others out.
I’m confused. Is this meant to be a meta joke by arguing about something and trying to change someone’s mind?
