“Hurr durr how DARE people with means try to protect themselves when a dangerous regime is taking over”

The only thing they are protecting is their own career which is weak. What makes it contemptible is that they built their career on sitting on their high horses about what to do during an authoritarian power grab, and then do exactly the opposite of what they have been preaching. Choosing this field of study means (in my opinion (with which you can disagree (and most people here apparently do))) that you have extra responsibilities.
