What's more worrisome is how fervently anti-science the new administration is. Academics may eventually be persecuted in the US across the board - as they are already at the EPA, USDA etc - and regardless of citizenship.

I firmly believe anyone with a brain should begin making contingency plans to regroup somewhere like Australia or Japan, outside of the reaches of far-right populism. An Erdogan-style academic purge may be on the agenda and sooner than we think

when it comes to Islam Japan goes well past "far right populism". It's not a coincidence there's less than 70k Muslims in Japan.

Well, you can't say that Japan is anti-intellectualism at least.

Genuine question, is there an anti-muslim immigration policy in japan or some other force at play?

That does not seem to be the case: http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/16347/is-islam-b...

Australia and Japan aren't fantastic examples. Canada works better.

I don't think we're far away enough

This couldn't be farther from the truth. People branding the current administration like this are destabilizing the country. The media in this country is on an ideological witch hunt, and you are proliferating it.

Friend, if witches are causing irreparable damage, shouldn't do everything we can to proliferate a hunt for them?
