Losing Jason Stanley in particular is a net benefit to any country that manages it, and a curse on any country that gains him.

I'm not familiar with the others, but being mentioned alongside him is not a vote of confidence.

Hans Bethe he is not.

Though this is almost certainly also quietly happening with others who are not such embarrassing examples.

just googled, seems to be a philosopher teaching and researching fascism and such. Also, known for writing books like "how fascism works" or "how propaganda works" - total scum-bag. You know why to hate him.
