i've been watching, like many of you, the dismantling of the american government by a fascist dictator.

now, for many of you, this is the first time; for me, it's the third, as the two previous countries i lived in suffered the same fate.

there are many conclusions to take from such events, but one of mine is that people blindly believe in rules where in fact rules don't matter at all. the only thing that matters is power. rules flow from it; not the other way around
