RE: All the red flags

"He who saves his country does not violate any laws"

The quote is jarring because it is obviously untrue of anyone that makes it. What they are actually saying is the polity has made laws that prevent saving the nation, which is true of every polity on Earth today (save perhaps Liberland, and I can't vouch for them either).

It is just as much the resort of scoundrels as it could be that of heroes.

I do not doubt we are in agreement it is the former, not the latter, in this case. However until the factional warfare is over and the cementing of factional power is undertaken in earnest, even scant fans will fail to see it, and until quite terrible consequences are unavoidable by all potential of reason, the cult of personality will not see any problem, in practice of the offing.

Thanks!
