The thing that makes my head hurt is that some of the people described in the article as having been swept up in this dragnet are still authoritarian nationalists.

How having an experience such as this can’t shake your belief that the state is infallible I really can’t comprehend.

It’s almost like Stockholm syndrome.

What do you expect these people to tell a newspaper when asked about what they “did?” Of course they’re going to declare their enduring love and support for their wonderful leader. Saying anything else would result in a prison sentence.

It doesn’t change that they’re still authoritarian nationalists. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, publicly supports the big duck that likes hurting other ducks rather than simply keeping its beak shut...
