    Nazi Germany absolutely did have brain drain though? A lot of the scientists working on the manhattan project were german, but fled the country/were forced out.

      But if you force someone out how is that brain drain? I thought it meant when lower income/quality of life countries “loose” their “smart people” to countries with better living standards. I wouldnt refer to it as brain drain if you do it on purpose. But it seems like i have the wrong definition for the word. Thing is it doesnt really matter, i like that all the smart people from the us are moving to europe, we just have to grab this chance and rise up in industries dominated by fascists like spacex. Btw what is the obsession with space travel among fascist leaders? Sorru if i rambled for a bit too long.

        It’s literally called “brain drain” idk what’s there to discuss. Smart people leaving the country because of politics, yeah that’s brain drain.
