    This is a dumb question. Almost 50 million people live in Sudan where there’s an ongoing famine. 70 million people live in UK where mass surveillance is roughly state supported. Asking why 300 million people don’t just move is … stupid

      The difference is that people from the US and UK are generally welcommed in other countries. People from Sudan have a much harder time being let into other countries

        As tourists, sure. But getting a work visa/residence permit is not as easy as you think.

        And second of all, what do you expect? An entire country to up an leave? That’s stupid beyond measure. Won’t that entire country elect the same government wherever else they end up in?
