I mean, there are two side of the argument.

Pragmatically, fleeing would save your life.

But ethically, it feels cowardly. (I’m not calling anyone a “coward”, its just how I internally feel about such an act, if I were the one doing it)

    It’s pussy shit, sure, but you only get one life. You don’t get another chance. You may feel like shit for leaving, but you’re alive and not in a prison. Which, if you ask me, I’d rather feel bad than be dead.

      The original post did not mention fear of political persecution. I think that’s a different situation.
