    Wow. He’s really leaning into this crap full force, publicly. He’s giving a full demonstration of just how untouchable he feels.

    Worse, he has that little boy with him all the time now, watching him do these things.

      What little boy? You aren’t referring to that ambulatory kevlar vest with the overactive nasal mine, are you?

      This is such a huge part of the psychology behind authoritarianism. It’s about harsh rules and repression, and the perverse enjoyment of the privileged few, that can be above the rules. It’s like a schoolyard bully, really, beating you up but also snitching on you to the teachers, and then enjoying the teachers not believing you. The hypocrisy is not a fault within authoritarianism, it’s an essential component, of how it functions ideologically.

      Taking away their feeling of being untouchable, is a massive part of how to combat it. That requires, at this point, revolutionary change, because damn, the foundations of property are all in their favour.
