loved ones, voluntarily? I believe he is exercising privilege by leaving, yes.

What about them? I don't see this sort of thing like a round of Jeopardy, I guess. To me, the rights and wrongs don't cancel each other out nor are they mutually exclusive. None of the caveats you raise change the fact that a parent left, voluntarily, or the inherent privilege in that decision.

But again.. I fail to see the ultimate benefit of quibbling over whether phenomena such as this is the result of privilege (e.g. father left voluntarily) or persecution (e.g. father was shot dead). Instead, I think all facets of the issue deserve rigorous and compassionate attention.
