Not the problem anymore for the brains that fled.

Kinda weird for the attitude toward governments allegedly violating freedom to be “it’s okay as long as it doesn’t affect me.”
Why shouldn't a person exercise their most powerful vote, voting by their feet and exit the system to reintegrate in a different system.

Serfs did it in the past when feudalism become to harsh and moved to the cities to make a living. Europeans did it when life became to harsh in Europe and moved to the Americas.

Of course one can avoid most domestic laws by moving to another country. My point is that when someone asks for a solution to this problem, I’m assuming they are looking for something to actually help solve the problem in that country, because they’re probably already aware that simply leaving is a viable way out for themselves (if they can afford it).
No, it's not okay. But if you can't fix it, why stay in a bad environment?
